JustDave's Notes:
- A Big Thank You to Sam Elliot's Mustache for sending his vinyl to be encoded!
- Thank yo to my fellow members of The Collective Of Live Music for continued support and inspiration.
Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove "ovu" tone for DJs to test levels and balance before airing the program at the beginning of side A. It has been encoded and moved to a folder so that it is not played accidentally with the program.
- There are 2 locked groove promo beds at the end of Side B, one with a Bill Minkin voiceover the other without, they have been encoded and moved to the end of the program.
- Both parts of this show were aired as King Biscuit Flower Hour #KB-350 aired January 18, 1981 but with one less song each. This rebroadcast added The Outlaws' "Devils Road" and The Johnny Van Zant Band's "Only The Strong Survive"
Known Flaws:
- The cue sheet names a completely wrong line up including Henry Paul who was kicked out of the band in 1977.
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.
Other Notes:
- The first time I heard The Outlaws was when one of the FM stations I listened to as a teenager played "Green Grass And High Tides". The song kicked my ass with it's extended guitar solos. Next time I was partying with friends I asked if anyone had heard the song before. The kid whose house it was got up and put on The Outlaws debut album and I was hooked. Here was Southern Rock with hard driving guitars yet vocal harmonies that would make The Eagles take notice. They have been one of my favorite Southern Rock bands ever since.
- Ronnie Van Zant's younger brother Johnny Van Zant was chosen to front the reunited Lynyrd Skynyrd in the 1990s. Before that he headed up the Johnny Van Zant Band which offered up a more Arena Rock/R&B flavored Southern Rock.
