JustDave's Notes:
- Thank You to Sam Elliot's Mustache for sending his vinyl for encoding.
- Thank You to the mebers of The Collective Of Live Mjsic for continued help and support.
- A special Thank You to The Detective Of The Collective Draftervoi for the outstanding investigative work finding news articles for this recording and the 1981 Tour as well!
Known Faults:
- All 3 records suffer from surface noise in the quieter sections. The commercials on Side A are really affected.
- There are visable markings on the surface of Record One Side A that look like something was stuck there and cleaned off. These markings cover the area which contains the tracks "Find Your Way Back", "Best Of The Biscuit Show #BOB-400 Break - Bill Minkin" and "Commercial - United States Navy".
Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove test tone on Side A for the DJ to set levels before broadcasting the show, it has not been encoded.
- There are two locked groove show promo beds at the end of Side B. One with a voiceoverby Bill Minkin and one without, they have been encoded and moved to the end of the program.
Editing Notes:
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LPs prior to playback.
- A carbon fiber record brush, then a microfiber disc cleaner was used on the records prior to playback.
- Records hand cleaned with Record Research Lab Super Record Wash before playback.
- LP cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning System using distilled water 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:
- Computer Soundcard stereo field maximized.
- Goldwave set to record while filtering any DC 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 the situation.
- Raised the volume of the commercials to match that of the music and voice overs.
- A rumble filter with an initial cut off of 50khz and a static steepness of 2 was used to lessen the needle noise on the commercials due to having to raise the volume to match that of the music and voice overs.
- Record One Side A was both cleaned and recorded a second time in an attempt to mitigate the surface noise which is worse one Record One Side A than any of the othr sides.
Other Notes:
- Our Associate Draftervoi found out DIR Broadcasting has released this recording a few times I have included all of Draftervoi's notes on the releases and the origin of the recording.
- Draftervoi's Press Coverage discoveries are also included as Extras in the Art & Info folder.
- The thing that has always struck me about Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship live is how much like a good live Hardcore Punk Band live there performances hang right on the edge of falling apart. An experiment in controlled chaos if you will, giving them that dangerous feeling that live Rock Music has had since Bill Haley and The Comets concerts in the 1950s that ended in the audiences rioting and trashing halls.
