The lineage for the 7 music files is now:

FM Broadcast >> ? >> flac files received in online trade by Mr Grow >> Pando package to me >> Cool Edit 2000 (see note below for what I did to the files) >> TLH ... Fixed SBEs >> to Flac 6. Torrent created with TLH

Big thanks to Mr Grow for these

Mr Grow's files didn't include the station outro so I've included that from my original recording.

I've re-included the interview with Peter that I have listed as coming from the same date. From comments added to the previous torrent, I think I'm confident in saying that the interviewer was Norwegian so it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that it was recorded in and around Oslo at around the same date.

After I originally seeded this show here as this:
Torrent #296829 R.E.M. - The Circus, Oslo, Norway 1984-12-06 FM Broadcast (remtorrent)
I was contacted by grow, another Dimer, who had a significantly better sounding version. the MP3 sample that he sent me confirmed this but there was a problem with the time/pitch. He flac'd his files and then Pando'd them to me and, after I'd used TLH to decode them to wav, I stretched them to 105.7% with Cool Edit 2000 (i.e I flattened them by a shade less than a semi-tone) they were back in pitch.

This version here is sourced from a much lower generation copy and is, therefore, a significant upgrade to my original torrent #296829

FM Broadcast >> ? >> Cool Edit 2000 (stretched to 105.7%)
