Thank you BurnBoy for the original CD rip.

JustDave's Notes:
- King Biscuit had cut their shows down to 1 CD by this time.
- Show date identified by comparing with an FM broadcast recording in my collection.
- Preservation being key the show is encoded with commercials and voice overs included.
- Commercials are indexed so they may be omited if so desire.
- Original files did not include Cue Sheet or CD scans, scans obtained from Ebay.

Another old show with a 1990s remaster from King Biscuit Flower Hour. The show was longer when it first aired back in 1983, but King Biscuit had trimmed it's shows down to one CD by this time. If you have this show on your drive in other forms this may be a sonic upgrade for you. I like it but it's missing the one thing that makes a great REO Speedwagon show...."Golden Country" the best song they ever wrote in my opinion, and the heaviest, it should be a Heavy Metal song, it's close enough in it's own on R.E.O./T.W.O. Anyway here's REO Speedwagon!!!

  1. REO started to get too poppy for me, after hi infidelity, but this one has lots of good old classics! Thanks so much, G.

    1. I have to agree, once they had a hit with "Time For Me To Fly" they had the worst addiction of any musician. "The Charts" is the worst drug a Rock band can be addicted to. Just like any addiction you will do anything, even sell yourself out for more LOL!
