It should be noted that some of these tracks were originally broadcast off speed, so on one or 2 tracks the BBC
announcer sounds too slow but the song itself has been speed corrected to the proper pitch (track 4 is the most noticeable).
Also, it is likely that people out there might have improvements to this compilation, so if anyone has better quality,
more songs or more specific info please upload them as an upgrade...
Finally, there is not much time between the tracks, so you may want to add pauses if you prefer
to listen to it that way (since it fades between most tracks).
To my knowledge these are all unique versions that have never been officially released.
When I compiled this I checked carefully to make sure than no songs were just the record
being introduced by BBC announcers or just alternate mixes.
This is not the same as any of the BBC bootlegs, which have had studio outtakes mixed together with the BBC tracks.
Also, all of this has been carefully remastered, so if you compare them I think you will hear the differences.
ENJOY!
