- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- No noise reduction used.

Thanks go to Draftervoi for providing Cue Sheet and Label scans along with a couple news articles from his Westwood One library.

This is a new encoding of an Original 2 Vinyl LP Broadcast Record Set in my personal collection. I had encoded this before but it was in an edited form. There were skips in some areas that were left of the last time which was basically the voice overs and commercials. Being an archivist as well as a collector I like getting the commercials too. They have been indexed separately so you can omit them if you want.

This is also a sonic upgrade as I have upgraded my equipment and techniques. The recording was made on a Vocopro CDR-1000PRO professional CD-r recorder. It's musician road case rack mount rated. It records in 24bit/44,1khz creating a high quality CD-r. It's meant for musicians to record their gigs and rehearsals. After the recordings were ripped I used Goldwave v.6.83 (no AI plugins) to manually remove vinyl pops and clicks from the waves before encoding them. I spent a lot of time working on this one trying to obtain the best quality I could. Hope everyone enjoys it!!

Shared on The Trader's Den by dandrew December 5, 1979

Very nice quality sound on this soundboard recording that just popped up at Trader's Den very recently. It's a soundboard recording from The Mickey Thomas era of Jefferson Starship. Grace Slick had yet to rejoin the group as this is before the recording of Modern Times. Meaning that "Stranger" had not yet been recorded. This is the 1st recording I have heard of the Grace Slick-less Jefferson Starship live. Interestingly to me, it seems like on the older material Mickey is singing the Grace Slick parts and some one else sings Marty Balin's parts. I think it might be Paul Kantner because he sings lead on some Freedom At Point Zero studio tracks but I could be wrong.

The extra cool part is the 12 song "Soundcheck" at the beginning! It is from a 1978 recording. Meaning of course it's Grace Slick and Marty Balin singing!! So yes it's an extra special must have for Jefferson Starship fans! I love it because I never got to see Jefferson Starship live. Closest I ever came was "Mickey Thomas' Starship" for free at a small fair here in Michigan. That my friends was nowhere near like seeing Jefferson Starship or Airplane. Bootlegs like this is all I have to keep that bad memory at bay!!!

The flac is huge so I divided the tracks into 2 downloads which can open independently

Short but sweet sounding FM version of this popular show. It has many versions floating around on the net in FM and Pre-FM form. This version is an FM Master from The Joe Maloney Collection via Krw_co. Krw_co always have great masters and this is no exception. I can't remember the actual sound quality of the different versions on my hard drives so how this one stands up to them is only a guess. If you're like me and need many versions of each show then take this one. If that's not you it's okay too.

- "Slat Key Soquel Rag" beginning cut
- "I Cheat The Hangman" beginning cut

The only other fault is it's not in your collection which you could easily fix by clicking the download link of you choice. Alright funny story...My Mom liked the 2 Michael McDonald sung singles "Minute By Minute" and "What A Fool Believes" so asked me who sang them. I got my Minute By Minute tape to show her the cover. She went out and bought the LP at the local K-mart. When she got home and opened it, she saw the big picture of a joint roach on the inner record sleeve, brought the record to me and took my cassette!

Listening to this brought back the memory of being in my teens when "Werewolves Of London" was released. It was all over Detroit radio, being one of the few Warren Zevon songs to make the charts. It was, in my memory, a big hit and part of that years summer soundtrack. I used to spend a lot of my summers hanging out with my cousins. I had been to my cousin Preston's for a few weeks and had just returned home. I walked into my bedroom to find my older brother and an older cousin sitting in my room listening to the radio. I saw the "Werewolves Of London" single on my turntable that my cousin had brought over. I turned it on and turned it up. A few seconds later my Dad walked in with a pair of wire cutters, cut my stereo's power cord and walked out. Seems my brother and my cousin were playing the song over and over till my Dad threatened to cut the power. It became a thing, if my Dad thought my stereo was being played too loud he would walk in and cut the cord. When I moved out the power cord was about 4 inches long...

There are a few bootlegs out that feature this show. There are from what I have seen 2 Pre-FM versions of this show. A Pre-FM vinyl version and this version from a Pre-FM Reel. From what I understand the uploader of this Pre-FM Reel version is not even a Rush fan. The concert recording was featured as filler on a DAT from a trade. Thankfully the uploader new what he had would make Rush fans very happy so he uploaded it to the net. This seems to be a raw transfer of the recording, no crossfades were done so a couple transitions are a little rough but all the music is a fantastic listen! And I get a live Pre-FM quality recording of my favorite Rush tune "Natural Science"!

Short broadcast from Krokus promoting the Metal Rendez-vous release. Metal Rendez-vous was the first Krokus album to feature vocalist Marc Storace, it was also the first to break through on American Radio. Metal Rendez-vous was also my first Krokus album, recommended by a fellow Metalhead in my school and guitarist for a rival band that I had much respect for. When I popped the record on it wasn't an immediate love affair. What made me like the band and album was a very short live recording. This was quite a few years ago so I can't remember where the recording was made but it proved that Krokus was a damn good live act.

When I first got a chance to see Krokus it was as the opening act for Def Leppard for the Leppard's first Detroit headline show. A show I was very eager to see having seen Def Leppard on their High And Dry tour in Ohio. I may offend some Def Leppard fans but Krokus kick Def Leppard's ass all over that Detroit stage. It had the same effect as seeing Van Halen blow Black Sabbath off the stage in Detroit, I became a fan for life!
