I recorded the Blues night but sadly not the rock night.

In defence of the "boffins" we don't know what state this particular cassette was in before they got their hands on it... Richard Skinner's intro sounds like reception was dodgy to say the least.

The quality after the "boffins" had done their stuff was truly abysmal. I thought they were supposed to be restoring this stuff to it's former glory to include in their archive? I already have the full Clapton broadcast in question in almost broadcast quality, the "boffins" wouldn't have to do anything!
