This is an audio recording derived from the "Stage 2" DVD download that has been shared here.
I had enough difficulty finding a way to get VTS files to disk, let alone trying to rip audio,
so this is from a CD recorded from the DVD, and processed through Audacity. Some purists may be
astonished at such an idea...personally I think a little analogue processing is fine...I like
the warmth of analogue for a start.
I worked on these recordings for myself so if it's not for you, you do not have to download. I
mention listening in headphones as I have done my best to widen the sound using Audacity...mono
doesn't always sound particularly good in headphones, hence working on these a little. The
processing in Audacity involves a lot of trial and error and sometimes different settings per
track...so if you are not sure if it's for you, try downloading one track (it's not as if
samples seem to be allowed here, not that I have time to do those anyway).
Personally despite the very good quality of the Dallas files, I find this a better listen, if a
little bassy...I reduced the bass slightly as I found it a bit much, but still left it a little
'boomy' in the spirit of the original broadcast.
I set the Musikladen theme (is it just me who finds this to be one of the highlights of the
show!?:)) as track 00 so it can easily be skipped or deleted for personal use by the downloader.
There is a very small skip in Moon of Alabama, a fault from the video version...I did try fixing
this but I couldn't do it any convincing repair so I left it as is.
Can anyone share this?
THE EVENT OF DAVID BOWIE
3LP of Bad Segeburg 18 June 1983.
I am well aware that there was a CD version, and torrents of that and a tape version of the LP version have been shared...can someone share a direct transfer from the LP, please?
Thanks for any help!
