Nice FM broadcast recording of a King Biscuit Flower Hour featuring Aerosmith and Gentle Giant. The Krw_co crew has a very deep archive of King Biscuit broadcasts and Pre-FMs. A lot of them are posted on The Trader's Den and I have downloaded quite a lot of them. Of course I will be sharing them here with all of you!!

This was supposed to be a 24bit version but when I downloaded the file it wasn't 24bit. It said it was on the folder and the info text but it wasn't.....

This is a perfect recording to be the first Gentle Giant post on The NewJDP. This is a great sounding recording with good stereo seperation and a nice bass sound. Since Rosebud has posted 2 shows from Queen for her salute to her favorite vocalists I figured I would have a spotlight on Progressive Rock. So Gentle Giant are post 1 of that tribute.
