(Stuart) Date: Mon, 2 May 2011 21:12:49 +0100 Subject: [peel] Peel shows on VHS In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: HI I assume that when you say they are recorded in stereo that they are recorded in hifi mode (i.e. using the flying video heads rather than the little linear head used in non-hifi VCR decks). Having had a lot of experience with playing back old recordings that way, the most critical thing is really to make sure that the tracking is spot on. If not there will be all sorts of nasty interference (much like on a badly tuned FM station). A good deck should be able to align the heads automatically on playback but manual tracking may be required to get it just right. As long as the recording deck was in good condition at the time (no creasing of the tape by worn pinch rollers for example) and the deck you have now is still in good condition, you should have no problem. The old mono soundtrack will not sound very good, in fact much worse than an audio cassette, but is more robust. I don't think there is a way of altering a tracking of a mono soundtrack to improve quality. (without taking the deck apart) Coming to the Mac I have heard that Audacity can be a problem to get working, but this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_software_for_audio lists a number of alternatives. Assuming you do get a sound out of your VCR and into Audacity or such on the mac, just make sure that there is no clipping on the record levels, and save to flac and high bit rate mp3. (I use 220-260kbs vbr) Good luck Stuart _____ From: peel@yahoogroups.com [mailto:peel@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of vegetablesman Sent: 02 May 2011 20:44 To: peel@yahoogroups.com Subject: [peel] Peel shows on VHS Hi, I have a number of John Peel Radio 1 shows from the Nineties recorded onto VHS video cassettes in LP mode.

Reconstructing shows is something that I admit to having an interest in doing myself, but I don't have your artistic touch, and it's always a pleasure to hear the results. Something that I am also tempted by but simply don't have the time to do is remastering (splicing high quality mp3s into less than perfect shows to make them listenable). To this end, I collected all the music bar the sessions from the 21 January 1980 show and was toying with making a good quality whole file (well, what remains of it anyway), but my other Wiki work has conspired against this. If anybody would like to have a go, please get in touch and I will send you all the 'bits'.

So 1955 is HERE It is very, very similar, but like they dropped the clips and had to put them back together from memory. The main thing for me is now Radio 2's Jeremy Vine speaks to you as if you were a dullard, where the Radio 1 presenter from 1980 Stuart Grundy thinks you are at least slightly higher up the evolutionary ladder. Anyway back to 1955, the first 12 mins are a bit ropey in quality (the mini tour), but it gets much better when the year starts.

I think it is a lot better. I couldn't do anything with the Bill Aitken tracks, though So I remember exactly what I was doing on 3rd January 1977. It was a Bank Holiday Monday, and that meant a special "Alan Freeman Show" with part 2 of the best selling albums of 1976. It was a good 3 hour show. I recorded it and it is available HERE The Saturday show was also recorded and is available HERE (Also 3 hours, but the first 45 minutes were on a cassette that has been lost) I just noticed that the Wiki has a nice write up about Fluff http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Alan_Freeman I also recorded the Peel show from 3rd January 1977, but I think my attitude then, as now, was that anything that featured both Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton was to be avoided. ONLY JOKING!! No I think that it was just one of a series of end of year countdown shows, and I did like the Freeman show better, so with tapes being so expensive it got recorded over. I did make up for that by capturing the entire FF from 1978, though, by way of atonement. We have 1976 now too, thanks to Ken and John. Anyway, listening back to the top 10 of 1976, does at least indicate what a challenge Peel faced introducing Reggae and World Music, let alone Punk, to his listeners.

I recorded their In Concert from 1978 where they shared the bill with Gordon Giltrap It is available HERE Haze has already posted the Gordon Giltrap part, and his recording shades it for quality, but at least we have the full show. As for Racing Cars, well it is a bit of a racket, and maybe they suffer from what happened to a lot of his favourites - the record company and fans demand stuff that takes out the very elements that attracted him in the first place. And even then, as a one hit wonder band, the least they can do is to play that one hit, which they didn't. Although I do think Horses deserved it's place in Peel's heart. I remember, as apparently the band did, watching the Jane Fonda movie (about a danceathon during the Great Depression) on TV a couple of years earlier, and so it was a nice retropective soundtrack to that melacholic mood.

BUT halfway through doing the page, I realised that it's a repeat of the 11 September (of which only half was recorded). So the latter date is the real Acres premiere. Ah well, at least we have the whole show now. 2) Dec 92 (Andy Kershaw) Wiki: http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Dec_1992_(Andy_Kershaw) About the same time that John was doing the 1992 FF, Andy did a Pick Of The Year, and very entertaining it is too. Partial show courtesy of the Lowman tapes and ripper Mark, with many thanks. 3) Best Of Peel Vol. 39 Wiki: http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Best_Of_Peel_Vol_39 Great record-only selection from Mike, again with many thanks.

The origin and originator of the term "disc jockey" is debatable. I looked into it in some detail a few years ago when I wrote some encyclopedia entries for a scholarly reference book. I could be wrong, but this is what I came up with then: "The term 'disc jockey' was coined in the United States in the early 1940s to distinguish the new style of presenters of radio shows based on discs from conventional announcers. Variety, the US entertainment trade magazine, chose 'disc jockey' to replace 'record jockey' (used by the record company executive Jack Kapp in a magazine feature in 1940), first using it in an article entitled 'Disc Jockey Solves Vacation' on 23 July 1941. It has also been attributed to the gossip columnist and broadcaster Walter Winchell. At first, the word 'jockey' simply referred to how the DJ controlled the loudness of discs, 'riding the gain' on the control panel dial. It also came to suggest how the DJ 'rode the records to success,' championing and repeating a favored disc until it became a hit. Who were the first DJs? It is generally agreed that the first notable shows to start the trend toward high-profile programs based entirely on commercial discs were presented by Al Jarvis, who invented The World's Largest Make-Believe Ballroom on station KFWB Los Angeles in 1932, and Martin Block, who copied the idea in 1935 for WNEW New York. Each played three or four records in a row by a featured artist, speaking to listeners as if the artist were physically present and playing live. Block's show became a phenomenon, partly because of his talent for coining slogans for advertisers; by the end of its first year, it had over 4 million listeners and was running for 2.5 hours every day. It encouraged national advertisers to sponsor the new chart shows that were based on sheet music sales and records, and the radio networks to introduce more disc jockey shows, especially late at night (Fong-Torres 1998)." ...and so it goes on for another 1500 words or so! happy to be updated or corrected! ken the book was: Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World, ed.

And then i go for the plain obvious when the mood takes me i.e.people from this list Black Star Liner Leftfield Suns Of Arqa Loop Guru Dreadzone Transglobal Underground Ozric Tentacles System 7 Eat Static . . . . that kind of thing. All of whom are well known to Peelites but i can't think who gives them airplay not even Stuart Maconie on his Freak Zone.

I ended up using an older version of Audacity. I had a few tracking problems and had to dig out a different VHS recorder than I'd intended for digitising my first show. I grabbed a tape at random and have now digitised a complete programme which I believe to be from 25th February 1998 ( I hope this doesn't step on anyone else's toes). I think the sound quality is pretty good but would like other opinions before I digitise any further tapes. I have the programme in .aiff format and would welcome tips on converting to flac and mp3. I would also like to know the best place to upload the programme.

I would just use Audacity itself to export to mp3 and flac, from the Audacity project file. 220-260 kbps vbr is a good option to save mp3s (option comes up when you export). The first time you use Audacity to export to mp3 you will need to download a LAME mp3 encoder (a dll file) and let Audacity know where it is (you will get help with this from Audacity first time you try) this is for boring licensing conditions. There aren't many programmes available from 1998 so you're certainly not stepping on anyone's toes there!! As far as uploading goes, well a 220-260 kbps mp3 file of 2 hours will probably come in at around 270Mb. So, you could split the file into two halfs and upload to Mediafire (their file size limit is 200Mb) alternatively see if Branko on the Peel Newsgroup has any space left on his Mooo server and ask for an account. Mediafire is good, as uploads and downloads are fast and less troublesome than Rapidfire or Megaupload, and there is no limit on the number of files or total space used.

The advice did help. I ended up using an older version of Audacity. I had a few tracking problems and had to dig out a different VHS recorder than I'd intended for digitising my first show. I grabbed a tape at random and have now digitised a complete programme which I believe to be from 25th February 1998 ( I hope this doesn't step on anyone else's toes). I think the sound quality is pretty good but would like other opinions before I digitise any further tapes. I have the programme in .aiff format and would welcome tips on converting to flac and mp3. I would also like to know the best place to upload the programme.

As Steve says I can use iTunes but I have heard that some people don't like the results of itunes mp3 encoding and prefer Lame. I have a program called xACT http://xact.scottcbrown.org/ which encodes to a variety of formats including Lame mp3. I have tried it with my Peel file and it has produced a 178.6mb mp3 file at 228kbps VBR Joint Stereo from my 1hr 49min 27sec .aiff file (Peel was in a 1hr 50 slot). Does that seem about right? I'm currently uploading it to mediafire as suggested and will post a link. How do I contact Branko regarding this Mooo server? Hopefully, I will be digitising quite a number of programmes as time goes on and an account would be very handy. Finally, do people here prefer mp3 to flac? I think the quality of the recording benefits from lossless but realise that the larger file sizes are a bit of a problem. I've just tried a flac encode using xACT and have a file size of 698.3mb. Is this too big for 1hr49m?

That remaster (tarted up version) is HERE BUT don't they always on those releases overlay some widely excited crowd to give the show "atmosphere" which treads all over the song (The Steve Hillage In Concert CD was another victim) and ruins it.

There will be flac copies as well as mp3 going the rounds by now. We also tried to get as much of the Peel/other DJ's intros and outros on as well. My favourite is Peel calling them The Incredible String Vest! I still catch Robin & Mike whenever they are in the neighbourhood. If you are London bound you can catch "Trembling Bells with guests Mike Heron, founder of The Incredible String Band, and multi-instrumentalist Nick Pynn at London’s QEH on 30th May". I'll be seeing Mike's daughter, Georgia Seddon, at The Captains Rest, Glasgow this Monday night. Different style but still interesting enough. > What is the punk-est > band ever I wonder ? The Pistols ? Slaughter & The Dogs > (best name), maybe Angelic Upstarts (Mensi is a great > "name") ? I always thought The Damned were/are the only true punk band. Still Smashing things up after all these years. Its a strange juxtaposition isn't it. I really love the String Band stuff but also really love The Damned stuff and lots of things in between.

There will be flac copies as well as mp3 going the rounds by now. We also tried to get as much of the Peel/other DJ's intros and outros on as well. My favourite is Peel calling them The Incredible String Vest! I still catch Robin & Mike whenever they are in the neighbourhood. If you are London bound you can catch "Trembling Bells with guests Mike Heron, founder of The Incredible String Band, and multi-instrumentalist Nick Pynn at London’s QEH on 30th May". I'll be seeing Mike's daughter, Georgia Seddon, at The Captains Rest, Glasgow this Monday night. Different style but still interesting enough. > What is the punk-est > band ever I wonder ?

Still Smashing things up after all these years. Its a strange juxtaposition isn't it. I really love the String Band stuff but also really love The Damned stuff and lots of things in between.

(Stuart) Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 00:35:44 -0000 Subject: Some more SL tapes Message-ID: Hi all Here is the first half of my latest batch of tapes from Rocker. These are all made from L141 to L150 of the SL tapes. You can find all of the shows on http://mooo.peelwiki.com/dl/Stuart/?C=M;O=D The file naming makes clear what is in the shows. The Tapes page on the Peel Wikia indicate which Peel shows are on each tape and links to the appropriate date page on the wiki. http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/SL_Tapes_(tapes) As with other SL batches, some of the shows contained Andy Kershaw shows, but most mysterious of all is a recording of a New Order-esque band called The Dreaming which takes up all of one side. Anyone heard of them? Some of the Peel shows are newly shared for the first time, some are new sections of shows, some have been previously shared though for a subset of those the sound is better here. This has all been meticulously documented on the wiki. When dating shows, I've decided to package the mp3 files as follows: In general these 1992 tapes are unbroken 35 to 40 minute sections of shows, on a side of a C90, though with some smaller segments squeezed in here and there. Steve L recorded onto batches of a-sides of his tapes then onto batches of b-sides. As Rocker did not have the benefit of knowing what was on each tape, this means that the tape numbering is kinda random within each year, so it may not be until all the tapes are ripped that the shows can be pieced together. So, I have split side a and b of tapes, unless I knew for a fact that side b followed straight on from side a. This should make it easier to reconstruct later on. Stuart From simont@...

These are all made from L141 to L150 of the SL tapes. You can find all of the shows on http://mooo.peelwiki.com/dl/Stuart/?C=M;O=D The file naming makes clear what is in the shows. The Tapes page on the Peel Wikia indicate which Peel shows are on each tape and links to the appropriate date page on the wiki. http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/SL_Tapes_(tapes) As with other SL batches, some of the shows contained Andy Kershaw shows, but most mysterious of all is a recording of a New Order-esque band called The Dreaming which takes up all of one side. Anyone heard of them? Some of the Peel shows are newly shared for the first time, some are new sections of shows, some have been previously shared though for a subset of those the sound is better here. This has all been meticulously documented on the wiki. When dating shows, I've decided to package the mp3 files as follows: In general these 1992 tapes are unbroken 35 to 40 minute sections of shows, on a side of a C90, though with some smaller segments squeezed in here and there. Steve L recorded onto batches of a-sides of his tapes then onto batches of b-sides. As Rocker did not have the benefit of knowing what was on each tape, this means that the tape numbering is kinda random within each year, so it may not be until all the tapes are ripped that the shows can be pieced together. So, I have split side a and b of tapes, unless I knew for a fact that side b followed straight on from side a. This should make it easier to reconstruct later on. Stuart From saipanda@...

In this month's Kamikaze show for Dandelion ... new album tracks fromMerzbow, Tim Hecker, Falty DL, andHype Williams, new singles from The Deeep, Arthur Boto Conley's Music Workshop, Boddika, and Burial, and classic tunes fromStereolab, J Dilla, Niney, and U Roy. On top of all of that, you can hear tunes from Florian Hecker, Braiden,Henry Thomas and Clara Rockmore, plus a few pieces from an astounding new record called Historische Aufnahmen, a collection of very old electronic recordings, including the sound of a pygmy hunting ritual from the 1930s. Seriously strange stuff ... On the show NEXT month (June): Three label features this month for you. First up Blackest Ever Black, so a load of street goth nonsense from the likes of Raime,Regis, and Tropic Of Cancer; then Pan Recordings, so loads of experimental gubbins from Hecker, Joseph Hammer, Keith Fullerton Whitmann, and Frieder Butzmann; and Daddy Tank Records, featuring dark electronics, shoegaze and hip hop fromPang, Hangin Freud, Social Studies and Twiggy and the K-Mesons. All dead good. That stuff aside, though, tune in to hear brand new bits fromApplehead, Prefuse 73, Cyclo., Chrissy Murderbot, The 5.6.7.8's,Nguuni Lovers Lovers, 2562, Downliners Sekt, plus loads more, and a load of classic hits from Melt-Banana, David Jahson, Bo Diddley, The Kon Tikis, a couple of Mississippi bits, some reissues from Conrad Schnitzler and Zdenek Liska, and a very special track from Dandelion's birthday compilation ...

(So It Goes 2512) Date: Tue, 31 May 2011 13:56:24 -0000 Subject: William It Was Really Nothing & This Charming Man Message-ID: Fellow Peelites I will accede to all three received requests for ex-30242 re-ups as soon as possible. In the meantime: 1) Date: 21 March 1992 Sessions: Papa Sprain, Silverfish Wiki: http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/21_March_1992 There are now no less than three separate recordings of this show doing the rounds. The one I have (many thanks to Steve and Mark) duplicates some material, but carries on to the end. I have not edited it in with the others as I have been persuaded it is better to wait and see if the missing middle section turns up in the SL Tapes. So it will probably reappear in the future (hopefully complete). 2) Date: 01 June 1996 (BFBS) Wiki: http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/01_June_1996_(BFBS) All the BFBS shows are interesting at the very least, but this one particularly so as John bares his soul about his middle age crisis concerning a certain Scottish songstress. Many thanks to Carsten. Best wishes Steve (TK) From koogy@... Tue May 31 19:05:03 2011 From: koogy@... (koogy@...)

Just uploaded 8th July 1998 to Mooo and I'm about to do the same for the show from 9th July which was on the same tape. The 9th July recording includes most of John's pre-show chat with Steve Lamacq but unfortunately misses the opening few seconds of the actual programme. I can confirm that the wiki is correct in it's identification of the Chris Barber track "Oh Didn't He Ramble". Enjoy.

They are catalogued on the wiki http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/SL_Tapes_(tapes ) L151 to L160 and can all be found on my Mooo folder http://mooo.peelwiki.com/dl/Stuart/ (anything with L151 to L160 in the file name is new) A few Andy Kershaw shows in there, and the usual mixture of new bits of Peel shows, the odd new show and some duplicates of old shows that might sound better.
