[peel] Karl and his tapes , upload update

[Stuart Brooks]

Just making a wiki page for this now, interesting how similar the Laibach track (which cropped up in the Gumtree tapes recently) is to Portishead’s Machine Gun.

Sounds like the tape is in good condition, maybe clearer even than the other tapes.

There are some pops and clicks in the right hand channel, perhaps they were there on the tape, but perhaps they sound digital in nature. I have noticed on occasion Audacity reverting to Microphone record input instead of line input, which can have an effect on the sound. 

Anyway thanks for making the effort to share these, I’m quite sure that some of these old tracks might never have been heard again!

Cheers Karl!

Just wondering if you could remember where the Lotus Eaters 1983 and Members 1982 sessions came from – there’s no sign in Ken’s In Session Tonight which makes me wonder if they might have been recorded from a commercial station.

Hi all 

I am just uploading one of my tapes to the Moo. Thanks to Andrew for coming round and showing me the Audacity of everything.

This one is from Late July 1984 and Has Peel / Jensen and the odd dip into a soul station ( around this time it was almost subversive to be into a bit of soul... but not really )

I didn't tidy up the 10 second gap in the middle for the tape flip and this tape is not perhaps one of the more interesting ? I just wanted to get one out there
