Many thanks to the blog for posting it, much appreciated.
This needed some restoration.
It ran too fast so has been slowed down.
Took well to some gentle touches of remastering.
Only negative is it suffers from tape wooshhhing effects.
In the talking bits mainly so no real issue.
My basic artwork included.
Enjoy....

02 Holding Me Down
03 By The Seaside
04 This Is Ha Ha
05 Second Take
06 Shrinking World
07 The Place To Be
08 Movin' Up
09 Two Hearts Burning
10 Forwards Backwards [Live]

12 Studio Recording Interview

Remaster Notes:
Wadi Vision came from Bath in the early 1980's.
Should have been signed & given a shot at stardom.
They never got there sadly.
Style wise teardrop explodes/thompson twins spring to mind.
More details follow this link:
http://www.bristolarchiverecords.com/bands/Wadi_Vision.html
The first 9 tracks are studio versions.
The last 3 are live/interview.
These are very lossy mp3's.
Think I could make these really lush sounding with lossless source.
Don't do spotify/itunes etc.
If anyone does and can get these (minus the last 3) please get in touch.
Very basic artwork offered.
Enjoy...

Taper did a good job recording this, much appreciation.
My copy sounds high generation which was a shame.

Andy Rourke


Such sad news today of Andy Rourke passing away.

He will be missed and my thoughts are with his family at this time.

Thanks for some wonderful bass lines, you dazzled and shone bright.

Remaster Notes:
Taper did a great job capturing this.
My thanks to him/her & to all who shared along the way.
Needed some restoration.
The worst thing was that it was very hissy.
The notes said "master" but it sounds 2nd/3rd in generation.
Did what the recording could handle dynamically.
Via speakers it is great put the headphones on and there is hiss remaining.
Slight digital skip in Youth.
What sounds like a microphone disturbance in Heat, lasts a second.
Not many talkers on this which helps a lot while listening.
Did a few edits/fades and ended up doing a partial re-track.
If you have this then this is worth the upgrade.
Hope you like what you hear.
My basic artwork included.

Many thanks to Jeff James for originally uploading this show.
Also to blog friend Scott for sending to me, much appreciated.

This was a real find with the snake played.
Wonder if there is a complete gig of this quality anywhere?
If you have such a gem please get in touch if you would kindly share it.

Needed quite a bit of cleaning up & restoring.
Used a little "treatment" nothing major, just brought out what was there.
Think this is the version to listen to.
Much cleaner & focused.

Enjoy...
