JustDave's Notes:
- Huge Thank You To Sam Elliot's Mustache for sending me his vinyl to encode!
- Thank you also to the other members of The Collective Of Live Music for help and inspiration.
Known Faults:
- As with all King Biscuit shows I've edited so far, the commercials had a maked difference in volume to the music.
- Volume of commercials was adjusted to match the body of the show. This causes excessive needle noise.
- There is a high pitched tone during the first few seconds of Bill Minkins initial introduction to the show. This is on the record so I left it even though it is anoying. There is also drum noise and an explosion during the same intro that really makes it a pretty poor listening experience and I don't understand D.I.R. using it.
Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove test tone at the beginning of Side A for radio stations to set balance and output levels before broadcast. It was not encoded.
- There are two locked groove show promos at the end of Side C. The 1st has April Wine Music with a Bill Minkin voiceover, the 2nd has April Wine music only. They have been encoded.
Editing Notes:
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LP prior to playback.
- A carbon fiber brush was used to help "sweep" dust from the record's gooves prior to playback.
- Records hand cleaned with Record Research Lab Super Record Wash and soft velvet cloth before playback.
- LP cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning System prior to playback.
- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at +/- zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- Turntable & tone arm balanced: Needle Tracking & Azimuth set: Needle Pressure & Antiskid digitaly set.
- Soundcard stereo field maximized.
- Goldwave 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.
- A High Pass Filter with an initial cutoff of 60khz with a Static Steepness of 2 was used to lessen the needle noise during commercials. This needle noise being due to the low volume of the commercials and having to raise said volume to match the music and voiceovers.
Other Notes:
- Being a Best Of The Biscuit both portions of the show were broadcast before.
- The John Waite portion was broadcast on King Biscuit Flower Hour #437 August 19, 1982. The setlist was the same as presented here, and there was nothing different with the mix or edits.
- Now the April Wine portion is a little confusing. The first King Biscuit Flower Hour with April Wine that I can find is King Biscuit Flower Hour #KB-359
- That King Biscuit was recorded at The Hammersmith in London, England.
- This show is confirmed to be Witchita by Myles Goodwyn thanking Witchita after "Future Tense".
- So is there another King Biscuit Flower Hour between King Biscuit Flower Hour #KB-359 and King Biscuit Flower Hour Best Of The Biscuit #BOB-465? Or did King Biscuit just use the Witchita show for the Best of The Biscuit by mistake?
- I have an FM copy of King Biscuit Flower Hour #KB-359 and it is not from this concert.
- The date of the show is another point. King Biscuit Flower Hour Records states on it's CD release of this show as Wichita, Kansas, USA November 21, 1982.
- There are a few different releases by April Wine that are said to be from King Biscuit Flower Hour shows. The first, "Greatest Hits Live" (1999) is said to be from King Biscuit Flower Hour, recorded at The Palmer Auditorium in Davenport, Iowa, USA November 21, 1982 which of course is not the location of this show. The second, called I Like To Rock (2002), says it's from Witchita, Kansas November 11, 1982 and it is the re-release of Greatest Hits Live 1997 (an album I haven't found). Of course we know the release on King Biscuit Records says its November 21, 1982.
- So I dated the show as from either November 11, 1982 or November 22, 1982. I know I could have said it a little more simple but this way was more fun for me.
