[peel] Re: New Wave Prog 29/8/77 Reconstruction

[Kevin and Alison Singleton]

Bill

Thank you - and I agree with you about remastering.  I will be doing the bare minimum to restore my tape of 29/8/77 to completeness.  It was a radio show after all.  Even with the original vinyl, a replacement is going to sound subtly different.  Plus I'm getting sentimental.  I'd like to keep what I had...

Regards
Kevin

  Kevin - Many thanks for these, and well done for a good quality transfer too!

  Now all you remasterers out there - you are going to have to be careful on a couple of songs if you replace them with CD versions, because they are sometimes very different to the vinyl versions.
  And not just on "loudness" difference that all CD have (see loudness wars that mean CD's have much less dynamic range than vinyl) -

  but also in the fact the CD versions are often different than the original 7" single.

  Take "Gary Gilmour's Eyes" (insert joke here)

  I must have many punk compilation CD's and there seem to be 3 or 4 versions (I have a sneaky feelling it was also re-recorded) but all of them a bit different to the original 7"

  So remember "reconstruction, not revision" and thank you for your efforts.

  I might just have a go myself.

I also fixed a few other problems in the original file and generally tidied things up a bit.
