Rare Australian Westwood One Radio Show. Not very many of these shows were produced. I found this one on Guitars101.com.

It's a great concert from a service that I only a few days ago found existed. Added bonus is that Clarence Clemons of The E Street Band joins The Queen Of Soul on stage for a rocking "Freeway Of Love". This is a must have for collectors and fans alike. You need this!!

JustDave's Notes:
- Huge Thank You To Sam Elliot's Mustache for sending me his vinyl for me to encode!
- Thank you also to Draftervoi, Sam Elliot's Mustache and avnut for impute and assistance!

Run Out Grooves:
Side A : KB-694 A AD 8-23-87 MCR JOE
Side B : KB-694 B MCR JOE
Side C : KB-694 C MCR JOE

Known Faults:
- Visual inspection shows some minor vinyl flaws that should be easy to edit around if they cause any type of noise. For the age of the vinyl it looks nice.
- Side B looked to be pressed slightly out of round. Fortunately there seems to be no problems when the LP was played.
- Record set was not mastered very well. The different segments all seem to have their own volume settings. This was dealt with in the editing process.

Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove test tone at the beginning of Side A for radio stations to set output levels before broadcast. It was not encoded. It's also not listed on cue sheet.
- King Biscuit put 2 locked groove show promos at the end of Side C they have been included.
- King Biscuit Flower Hour pressed the albums with the commercials half as loud as the music and voice overs. This was dealt with in the editing process.
- Mason Ruffner released Mason Ruffner Live in 1999. It contains the song "Gypsy Blood" and the notes say that it was recorded at The Living Room, Providence, Rhode Island, USA July 1987 (from Mason Ruffner.com) PDF included in extras folder.
- Draftervoi found some articles from newspapers that show Jon Butcher played the Hollywood Palace July 16, 1987 (included in extras folder). He also played The Living Room twice around the time that Mason Ruffner did. Mason Ruffner is reported to have played The Hollywood Palace close to the same time as Jon Butcher but no info was found to confirm that

Editing Notes:
- Records hand cleaned with Record Research Lab Super Record Wash before playback.
- LP cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning System prior to playback.
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LP prior to playback.
- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at +/- zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- Turntable balanced: Needle Tracking, Azimuth, Pressure & Antiskid Dialed In: Soundcard stereo field maximized: Goldwave always set to record while filtering any offset:
- Recording and all editing done in 24bit/96khz.
- Preservation being key the show is encoded complete with commercials and voiceovers.
- Declicked manually and some noise reduction used depending on what best served situation.
- Some minor flaws may still show after all the work, we are after all working with vinyl sources.
- Raised volume of the commercials 50% to equal the volume of the show.
- Evened out the volume of entire show, but did not normalize/maximize audio.

Other Notes:
- I went into this project not knowing Mason Ruffner's music at all. I would say he writes Southern Blues with a touch of Louisiana Swing and some Rock-A-Billy thrown in for texture.
- Mason Ruffner writes music that lets the notes and vocals breath while Jon Butcher has a more dense sounding style.
- Although Jon Butcher is clearly influenced by Jimi Hendrix, he shows influence in his song writing by Robin Trower and Frank Marino. "Holy War" could be a Frank Marino song the way the keyboards interplays with the guitar. Both were heavily influenced by Hendrix but each had their own way of crafting a song. Stevie Ray Vaughan is also heavily influenced technically but sounds nothing like Jon Butcher, Frank Marino or Robin Trower.
- Jon Butcher shows some more of his influences by playing Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground". You can hear the R & B influence in his music like Robin Trower (Check out Trowers album with Maxi Priest).

Side B : BOB-444-B MCR JOE
Side C : BOB-444-C MCR JOE

Known Faults:
- While checking the vinyl I did notice some tiny dimples on Record 1. These can be found on records usually without any harm to the sound, records were super clean on arrival from Sam Elliot's Mustache.

Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove test tone at the beginning of Side A for radio stations to set output levels before broadcast. It was not encoded.
- King Biscuit put the 2 locked groove show promos at the end of Side A I moved them to the end of the show.
- Show matches a bootleg FM broadcast I have on my hard drive. The show is called The Toys For Tots Concert The Palladium, Los Angeles, California, USA February 12, 1982 King Biscuit Flower Hour FM broadcast so that date has been attatched to this recording.
- Lead vocalist Jimmy Farrar addresses the audience throughout the show as Los Angeles and as The Paladium.
- Show has been officially released a few times so posting show on any forums would not be alowed.

Editing Notes:
- Records hand cleaned with Record Research Lab Super Record Wash before playback.
- LP cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning System prior to playback.
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LP prior to playback.
- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at +/- zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- Preservation being key the show is encoded complete with commercials and voiceovers.
- Declicked manually and some noise reduction used depending on what best served situation.

Other Notes:
- Not one member of the original lie-up of Molly Hatchet is alive. (See Molly Hatchet Extra Info text)
- Second vocalist Jimmy Farrar has also passed on. (See Molly Hatchet Extra Info text)
- Molly Hatchet still tour without one original member in the band.
- Bobby Ingram, who joined the band in 1987, has been leading the band without any original members since 1992. Except for between 2005-2017 when Dave Hlubek returned to the line-up as a "special guest"

I have been listening to a lot of Mason Ruffner lately after I encoded a Mason Ruffner / Jon Butcher King Biscuit Flower Hour for Sam Elliot's Mustache and The Collective Of Live Music (of which I am a member). Draftervoi had this tape in his collection encoded and ready to go. He sent it to me so I could listen to it and post it on The New JDP.

Draftervoi is in the middle of encoding and posting Sam Elliot's Mustache's collection of NBC The Source Pre-FM Radio Show Vinyls at Voodoo Wagon as well as other goodies. He let us scoop him on this recording. I highly recommend that you check out what Draftervoi is laying down at Voodoo Wagon!

This Mason Ruffner is a fabulous concert from a musician I actually was just introduced to and am sorry I didn't listen to him in his day. His mix of Blues, Louisiana Swing and Rock n Roll Roots is a great listen!!! It may be rooted in Blues but Mason Ruffner's music makes you want to move and have a good time at the party!!!

Draftervoi's Original Notes:

Jon Butcher / Uncle Sam's, Nantasket Beach, MA (also sometimes identified as Hull, MA.  There is a Facebook page identifying it as having been in Nantusket Beach) The track list seems to match some of the BBC Rock Hour show set list (which I don't have so I can't compare to see if it's the same show).

Graham Parker / Park West, Chicago
Note:  There is a KBFH show from 1982 that may be a longer version of this show Again, I don't have that one so I can't compare it.

Greg Kihn Band / Channel, Boston, MA
The tracks are the same as those on the BBC Rock Hour #420 recording.

Derek Blevins – Drums
Chris Martin - Bass

Greg Kihn Band
Greg Kihn - vocals, guitar

This is a great find! Jon Butcher Axis bootlegs are kind of rare, and here we have one in fine Pre-FM quality. Rounding out  the show is Graham Parker & The Greg Kihn Band. The D-man hit it out the park again! Thanks Draftervoi!!

This show was pared with a April Wine concert from The Hammersmith Odeon, London, England, UK January 27, 1981. The Hammersmith show has been released officially in Laser Disc, VHS and DVD formats. The audio is included on an April Wine CD Box Set. This being the case the April Wine segment has been deleted. I do recommend purchasing the official DVD if you want the April Wine show.
