Received this this morning in reply....

hi there...these are the compiled tracks not the radio shows.....70%
from original cds...the rest from mp3 or original vinyl...the quality
is good...there are a few tracks over the years that are so obscure
that i have had to settle for lesser quality recordings..but not
many...cheers

Niag.
