06 - My Love Paramour [Cuts In]

Remaster Notes:-

An average audience recording for it's age.
It is 4 or 5 out of 10.
So don't expect to much & you may enjoy it.
Audiochecker results were mixed, so I left it in flac (which was how it arrived to me).
Took a fair amount of restoration, I did what I could to make it more listenable.
To much reverb from the soundboard on "Sugar Hiccup" it is not from my work.
Lots of talkers around the taper adding there own cheers/whoops/clapping.
Probably one for hardcore fans only.
If you take the plunge hope you enjoy it.

Remaster Notes:-

Nice sounding show from early '84.
Needed a fair amount of restoration to it before remastering.
There was some distortion issues, fixed most.
Last 3 songs still suffer sadly, by HD it improves but be prepared!
Applied some light EQ, mainly in the bottom end, with a slight touch to the highs.
There are a few minor dropouts here & there but it doesn't spoil the songs.
Nice versions of Pretty Girls Make Graves & Back To The Old House.

Enjoy...

Remaster Notes:-

Great gig, spoilt because it distorted most of the set.
So I have reduced the distortion.
Not all gone but a massive improvement on how it was.
Also did various cleaning up tasks on this as well.
Then applied some light EQ, mostly to bring the bass under control.
Having watched a video of this gig recently I think this came from the VHS Video,
transferred to the CD this comes from.
Whatever it sounds really nice, took a lot of time & work to get it this way.
As always hope you enjoy.

Notes:-

I bought this CD in a records store in May 1995.
The Tracklist at setlist.fm site includes a song more (track #03)
which is not present at discogs site and on the CD itself which
instead of 20 tracks contains only 19 tracks.
The reason is that the track #02 on the CD contain both the songs ("9-9" and "Windout").
Tracks were only ripped from the CD, no additional audio work was made on them.
Total playing time of the CD is 01:05:17.
Enjoy it.

Remaster Notes:-

This was a great show spoilt by the radio chatter.
So...
I have removed all the DJ talking, now only the music remains.
This was done by using fades in & out.
Not a perfect solution, I don't think one exists, so it is what it is.

I also put the songs that go together back together,
they were split into separate tracks on the original.
Personally I prefer the songs in the way you would have heard them had you been present,
everyone has there own preference, no right or wrong, this is mine.

When all that was done I did some light EQ touches.

A few issues:
In "I'm Not Scared" there is a half second "jitter",
this is on the original, nothing I have done to it,
goes as soon as you hear it, so no real problem.
On "West End Girls" from 2:20 to 2:30 there are more "jitters".
These you will notice big time, present on the original.
On "It's A Sin" & "Domino Dancing" there is another half second jitter, nothing serious.
I have no idea how to rectify these errors,
if anyone knows please get in touch, I would be most interested to learn.

There are extensive original notes in the download for you to read if you so wish,
from the original seeder(s) on Dime.
My thanks to the taper & seeders for this ending up with me.
Hope you like it.
Enjoy,

Remaster Notes:-

No lineage on this one, arrived to me as flac.
Short but sweet this one.
Sounded over bright, rather harsh.
Tamed it down & cleaned it up & gentle eq, job done.
First track has some tape issues but soon settles down,
some issues in metal mickey, but soon goes.
Guess the tape was in a worn conditioned before being digitized.
Nice listen even with the few issues mentioned.
If you like the band then this is for you.
Enjoy...

Remaster Notes:-

What can one say?
It's The Jam & it sounds great.
If this is your thing you will want this.
Needed minimal work, just brought out what was there.
The only negatives are that it is lossy.
And the second lot of tracks are not as well recorded as the first 16,
still sounding good though.
If I find a lossless source will redo this.
Till then this is as good as it gets.
Enjoy...
