Many thanks to the blog for sharing.

And to the taper for being there and pressing record.

Better than the other FB3 in sonic terms.

Did what I could to make a better listen.

Ended up re-tracking it.

Some talkers but mostly behaving during the music.

A drunken git (Terry's words) keeps shouting/whistling for the girls to get there kit off.

He offers his willy instead!!

Hilarious!!

Acapella version of "wondering" is a great way to finish the set.

Basic artwork by me included.

For Terry he is greatly missed.

Enjoy...

original:https://auralsculptors.blogspot.com/2020/11/the-fun-boy-three-ritz-new-york-7th.html

Many thanks to the blog for sharing some great files.

This was in bad shape.

No dynamics to speak of.

Soaked in hiss really tough work trying to lift it up.

Must be 3rd generation at least.

I eventually got it to this.

If the original was 4/10 then this is a solid 7/10.

Don't expect to much and you may enjoy the listening.

Some clappers/talkers but mostly in-between songs.

Not that many recordings in circulation for the FB3 so this is very welcome.

My basic artwork offered.

Original notes / covers included.

Dedicated to the greatly missed Terry.

An interesting version of The Doors classic "The End" thrown in.

Enjoy...

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.

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.

Needed quite a bit of restoration.

Remastering was a huge task, got there in the end.

This suffers in places with tape whooshing effects & other tape related issues.

Talkers not to bad only the odd chat between songs.

Taper did a good job recording this, much appreciation.

My copy sounds high generation which was a shame.

If anyone has a better version and would share please get in touch.

A worth while upgrade if you have this already.

This has had some editing, nothing major, think it flows better than it did.
