Remaster Notes:-

Here is the remastered version for this gig, sourced from RC's tape.
Many thanks to him for his many shares, what a gent!
This sounds glorious, it turned out excellent.
It ran slightly fast so it has been slowed down by 3%.
The tape flip between 16 & 17 doesn't cause the loss of any music.
Was a joy to remaster, took to it like a duck to water (as the saying goes).
The only negative is that there is some tape hiss still present.
Removed as much as I dared, the music more than makes up for it being there.
Cannot go wrong with this, download & enjoy friends.
An excellent way to sign out for '18.

28 - Some Girls [John Peel Session]

R.C. Notes:-

Atomic and Union City Blues are from a fierce 7 inch single. 
Warp 8 and Warp 9 in electroglide were Alex singing on a band called "One Note Jam",
which I suspect was just Motorcycle Boy calling themselves something different to be experimental (or maybe follow up band). 
The files are mostly rips from vinyl & tape transfers.

Remaster Notes:-

The John Peel Session tracks were recorded on 30th August 1987 & broadcast 14th September 1987.

Okay this post caused me to have a long hard think (which is always dangerous),
most of these are officially available from places like Ebay & the excellent Discogs.
However there is no CD release or as far as I can tell no plans for one.
Or any re-issues of the vinyl releases.
So...
Here is a compilation generously shared by RC with r & r by yours truly.
This isn't perfect by any means, some of the source material (especially Peel Session) could be better,
there is a glitch in track 3 at 1:56 - 1:57 for instance, some tracks remastered better than others,
but as a compilation it works pretty well.
Shows what a great band & songwriters they were.
Alex's vocals are so dreamy & lush.
If any one connected to the band object to these being offered here please let me know.
It is never my intention to offer anything that you can get officially,
but the band won't get a penny from Ebay or Discogs hence this compilation.
They will be removed immediately and not shared privately.
Would love these on CD or a collected vinyl box set possibly.
If one gets released these will disappear.
So while we wait for an official release this will keep us going.

Enjoy & try to be kind...

Notes:-

Just finished many shows by The Motorcycle Boy & turned my attention next to some Smiths tapes.
So I started transferring this tape & wow, it sounds great!
Then I compared it with the only other file that I know of by Soundsville.
This new tape sounds much better (I.M.O.) but I am lost as to the source.
It sounds like Paul's soundsville tape only better.
The tinny treble is gone on this version.
So after discussing it with R.C. we present it here for your comments.
Included in the torrent are 2 low rate mp3 for you to download first & see what you think.
You can then download or not as you want.
This transfer is untouched all I did was cut it into separate tracks.
Share freely, do NOT sell, only change to mp3 for your listening please.
Enjoy.

Remaster Notes:-

Nice show from the band.
Considering this is over 30 years old, it sounds very good.
Taper did a top job with the recording.
I restored it, then gentle eq added & here it is.
The editing wasn't that good so I retracked the whole thing.
Crowd/talkers are very quiet around the taper, which makes it even better.
Only negative is that it is lossy.
This is really worth checking out, a great document of a great band.

Enjoy...

Notes:-

I put this as possible PreFM because the first track features talking of the radio announcer,
he says Ok give me 10 seconds and then does the count from 10 down before introducing the show.
I couldn't find any more info on this disc other than there are apparently two shows an early and late...
this one being the late show.

Remaster Notes:-

This was in a bad way when I got it.
It was distorting badly.
Took some doing to bring the distortion down & reveal what was underneath.
And underneath was a really nice gig.
Used very gentle touches to fix it up the best it can be.
In between songs there is some tape noise & a little hiss,
when the music plays it isn't an issue.
This is one of my favourite remasters, it is like day to night sound wise.
If you have the original then you can forget listening to that.
This is so much better, listen and see for your self.
My thanks to the taper & various people for the shares till it found it's way to me.

Enjoy...

Remaster Notes:-

Excellent if short set.
This ran to slow, it was speeded up by just over 3%.
Slight "washy" effect show the limitations of the source material.
It isn't perfect by any means, but with what I had to work on it turned out okay.
The only other negative is it is lossy.
I think the last track is missing from this file set.
If this is your taste then this will not disappoint,
unless you are after lossless perfection of course.

Remaster Notes:-

This is an amazing gig.
Must have been great being there, last night of the tour,
introduced by Debbie Harry, 3 encores.

This recording is really, really good for being 38 years old & audience sourced.
Slight distortion at times, but overall it is fine.

Took a long time to clean up & remaster, tricky in many places,
had to give it loads of TLC and it responded well.
I couldn't live with it edited like it was, so I retracked the whole thing.

The only negatives apart from above is that it is lossy,
it would have been better with a lossless source,
still a very nice listen as is.

There are a few "talkers" at certain points with as always riveting stuff like:
where's my jumper?, I've been stood here for ages etc.
I removed what I could without ruining the flow of the gig.

Terry is on top form with his own way of dealing with things.
The band are as always on top form,
they really were something special live [no pun intended].

So grab a beverage of your choice and be whisked away in my dream time machine.

Enjoy...
