OT : Friday Rock Show & 6 Music 'Classic Concerts'

[haze_harrison]

This is a "just back from the pub" response so please forgive any inaccuracies. My guess is that (in some cases at least) they are broadcasting from a digitized TD source and certainly some of the TD discs are a bit of a dogs breakfast due to the time limitations of vinyl. Maybe that is the problem with the Queen show, I think there is a "mic in front of the TV" cassette in a box somewhere in my toy room. I was listening to the Def Leppard TD (thank you Paul) before going to the pub tonight and at least one track is missing compared to the original broadcast. Of course sometimes this works the other way, the Stone The Crows rebroadcast (and TD) are 50 odd minutes long when the original broadcast would have been about 30.

At least Chris Hawkins only butchers the beginning and end of th show. A lot of the early Dream Ticket shows had station/DJ indents popping up between songs...

>When I heard the Queen re-broadcast, I did write and complain to 6 Music to ask why in some of their re-broadcasts do they leave out tracks now and then. The Queen re-broadcast show I remember in particular was awful when compared to the original (it just happens to be one of my all-time favourites so I know it pretty well), it suffered from a real major hatchet-job as have a few others - Thin Lizzy in 1983 springs to mind along with Split Enz from 1980 - I Have copies made from TS Discs of both. I got a response from Chris Hawkins that it was sometimes due to copyright issues that some tracks were left out that were originally broadcast. I suppose he's right, but I never got an answer as to why they sometimes jumble up and mix around the running order too. But, on the up side he did also say he would try and refrain from talking over intro's - yeah, I whinged about that too :o)
