Is the version of We Will Rock You produced by Jeff Griffin available anywhere? I have a copy on an old tape that was broadcast on the last Alan Freeman Rock Show on 26th August 1978, but frustratingly it spanned the end of the tape so it got chopped in two.
I have always thought that the narrative was spoken by Lesley Judd who was a Blue Peter presenter, it sounds like her.

The version that was played by Freeman is the one that's on this Session 6 Master
For those who are complaining about the 18kHz cut off, that would be the Lossy compression on the MiniDisc part of the transfer. The Holy Grail of transfers would be: Master Tape --> 192kHz 24-bit PCM --> FLAC compression OR DVD-Audio
Cheers for the upload though, MD is no-where near the worst of the Lossy treatments this COULD have gone through!

Unless I've missed a negative comment, I haven't seen any complaint about lossiness on this share, maybe someone pointing out lossiness on MD's but that shouldn't be considered a complaint

Would very much like to discuss trading for these files with someone - RapidShare is no more, and it seems that those days are gone now (sorry - could not resist).
As far as the frequency response points go, it would be normal to see roll-off at around 18-20kHz.
In the days when these session files were recorded the analogue consoles used rarely - if ever - were capable of anything over 20Hz to 20kHz resolution. The consoles used at Trident (the A-Range) and the Neves were both capped out at 20kHz maximum, and an awful lot of microphones likewise cannot actually capture anything above 20kHz either - if that high. I've attached the Trident Console user manual, and assure you all the Neve's are the same.
It's a shame they went to miniDisc, which uses ATRAC data reduction, and it is lossy - so even though it is true 24-bit, the actual compression algo used is a lossy, perceptual one.

Great post. Please post more ! We need more quality dialogue like this.
My question is - if the original source couldn't have exceeded 20kHz, then does going to miniDisc really make it that much worse, if at all?
Suppose a direct 16/44 transfer to digital from the master was possible. Wouldn't that make it a mere storage medium, like burning a DVD onto a blu-ray disc ?
