Well, amidst all the chat about tape decks, I found I could not resist track listing before the track listing arrived! Anyway here’s my attempt - here

I think the Apollinaires session is from Jensen. The first track is not from the Peel session and the second one, Envy The Love is different to either the Peel session version  (which was last broadcast in Sept 82) and the single version. The Ideal Couple and Shape Up tracks are identical to a Youtube share of what purports to be a Jensen session from 15th June 1983. However that might be a repeat broadcast. Either that or the Jensen session is actually a Crowley one.

See http://www.thespecials2.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=23604

I can’t ID for certain two of the Black session tracks, and I don’t know for sure if the first one is Black.....

If your computer has a decent soundcard with analogue inputs that should be fine. The Behringer is simply a cheap but fairly decent analogue to digital (and vice versa) converter that plugs into a USB port. It takes its power from the USB, but is not inside your computer's casing, which for some soundcards can cause electromagnetic interference.

Agree with all that – though as 3 head machines have individual heads optimised to playback and recording, rather than a compromise, it would be better for the purpose.

What do these Behringer things do – are they of any benefit if I already have a good sound card?

totally agree on azimuth accessibility being a good idea - but three head isn't too important as you're not really recording, although it is generally an indicator that the machine was kinda 'top of the range'-ish so might be better quality generally... 

also totally agree on cleaning the machine between each side. old tapes are horrendous for dumping stuff on the heads/rollers.

and agreed that the ion etc 'converters' are the lowest of the low... ANYTHING is better than those things... but still, they ARE better than nothing ;)

I wouldn't say nakamichi is overkill - those machines will pull every last scrap of info from the tape - in most cases the machines that the shows were recorded on put down much more information on the tape than they were capable of playing back at the time. A Nak will get it all back.

But the main thing is get a stable strong machine in good condition - all the rubber (belts, pinch rollers, idler tyres) needs to recent-ish

A cheap behringer usb soundcard will be fine.. posh soundcard/AD stuff at this point *is* probably overkill, although every little helps, maybe...


don't fall too far down the tape-deck rabbit hole - there's no way back :)
