SL Tapes (work in progress)

[Dr Mango]

Over the last couple of months I've been quietly uploading the fruits of my latest batch of SL tapes to the mooo server. Here's a list of the ones completed so far. I've got all the tapes in the batch ripped so it's just been a case of finding the time to go back and master them before uploading the mp3 version. Now that the distraction of the Ashes is over this process should speed up.

As is customary, I started with the tapes that offered something new. But I'll list them in tape order:


L198 - 23 February 1992. One section of this show from side B of the tape. Previously unshared, this starts with the second track in the show.
L199 - This contained two sections of 15 February 1992 on sides A and B. Side A began with the start of the show (previously shared) while side B starts at about 00:20 and stops with the 1 am news. A couple of minutes at the start of the show was brand new but the rest has been previously released.
L200 - 20 March 1992. Two sections of this show on this tape. Side A starts about 20 minutes 
in, curiously at the same stage as the previously released file despite them being from different sources. Side B is 45 minutes of all new 
material and straddles the 1 am news.
L201 - 17 April 1992. Two sides of tape from the same show. Side A is from the first hour and side B takes you to the end of the show. The whole show has been available in full for some time.
L204 & L212 - 2 May 1992. The first 75 minutes of the show (30 and 46 minutes respectively) from 
sides B of both tapes. This is a brand new segment and completes the 
show from the SL source.
L205 - Side B has the first 30 minutes of 25 January 1992 and is brand new. Prior to the above, there's 9 minutes of new material from close to the end of 15 December 1991, also new. There's a couple of unidentified tracks in this show for any sonic detectives.
On the other side of L205 there's the last 33 minutes of 21 December 1991. This has been previously shared, which is just as well because the quality of the recording is a bit ropey.
L210 - 27 March 1992. Two segments of this show. Side A comes somewhere between 11:30 and 1 am. Side B takes you to the end of the show. Both sides brand new.
L215 - 24 October 1992. Two sections from this show on this tape. Both sections were previously shared in part: Side A adds an extra 15 minutes of material while side B gives 7 minutes of new stuff. This is the 4 hour show from when the clocks changed and has recently been compiled into one file.

Not forgetting of course that L197 snapped on me but was fixed and ripped by Stuart.

That's all for now. I'll have another big file ready for download later and it's something to look forward to.
