JustDave's Notes:
- Huge Thank You To Sam Elliot's Mustache for sending me his vinyl to encode!
- Thank you also to Draftervoi, Sam Elliot's Mustache and avnut for input and assistance!
Known Faults:
- On Side A and Side C there are large somewhat superficial scratches across the entire side which caused a small clicking noise every rotation of the album.
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. They have been encoded and moved to the end of the recording.
- Of the 2 show promo beds provided, one is Bill Minkin speaking over Scandal's music. The other is Bill Minkin speaking over Saga music.
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 & Anti-skid 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.
- De-clicked manually and some noise reduction used depending on what best served situation.
- As with all King Biscuit shows I've edited so far, the commercials had a marked difference in volume to the music. Volume was adjusted to match the body of the show.
Other Notes:
- Scandal's portion of the show was first broadcast as King Biscuit Flower Hour #KB 460 on February 27, 1983. This rebroadcast, King Biscuit Flower Hour Best Of The Biscuit #BOB 478, is longer in that it has one more Scandal track "Tonight"
- Saga's portion of the show was first broadcast as King Biscuit Flower Hour #KB 458 which was longer than King Biscuit Flower Hour Best Of The Biscuit #BOB 478, since it had 3 more songs "Don't Be Late", "Humble Stance", You're Not Alone", and "Briefcase".
- Saga's songs "It's Time (Chapter Three)" and "No Regrets (Chapter Five)" are part of a group of songs Saga called "The Chapters" which were about Legendary Physicist Albert Einstein. The band released "Chapters 1 thru 16". The story was intended to have 8 "Chapters" but the concept kept growing in scope. The only album all sixteen tracks appear on is "Live Chapters" no studio compilation of all 16 Chapters has been released.
- Scandal played 3 unreleased songs "Child Of The Night", "Tonight", and "I Don't Know Why I Can't Say No". The songs were later released on a Scandal's Greatest Hits Live CD.
- Both Paul Paul Schaffer, of David Letterman fame, and singer Jon Bon Jovi were early members of Scandal.
- Scandal was opening for the Portland Punk band The Sharks.
- Pat Benatar opened for Saga.
