Thanks, but in what way is this an upgrade?

The original share by JSS was mini-disc sourced (lossy)

This one has less hiss, and is indeed losless.

It comes from a promo cd of a radio station. ( king biscuit flower hout)

Thanks for the explanation.
I can see ALL the tracks from the promo cd were once shared here, but were they ever available in FLAC?

Mine was taken from this CD : http://www.ebay.com/itm/King-Biscuit-Queen-Kansas-Genesis-Rush-Triumph-Blondie-/221259483401?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item338417c909

The one you mention does feature the audience noise. The best of the Best cd only features WWRY !

You will get a alternative front with Freddie wearing his harlequin and leather jacket from the 78 tour.

I bought my copy for $ 2,-

As opposed to what might appear to be a mutated mash up by Psy, this ladies and gentlemen is the REAL THING! Happy memories of watching this on late night TV back in early 1978 and being blown away; even Deacy's little bass solo drove me nuts. Pure bliss folks, just absolute, pure energy. Roger in particular was at a peak at this time. Thank you!!

CDV

A video of the fast WWRY on TV in 1978 ? If that's true, which version would it be ??

Houston 1977 of course. It was shown on TV in the Netherlands too, way before it's official release.

Interesting. Bizarre that no VHS copies floated around in the 80s and 90s. Nearly everything else broadcast in the late 70s did..

It's not clear to me what this is. Can someone enlighten me as to what we're talking about? Who or what is JSS? Justin Shirley Smith perhaps? And what did they share?

MERCI BEAUCOUP

JSS in this case is John S Stuart - a regular poster on these boards......

As our dear QZ'er Dave said, John S Stuart shared the BBC sessions from his collection, transfer from mini-disc and those versions sound better than any other version shared previously. Problem is mini-disc is lossy (less than mp3 but still) and this particular WWRY version sounds a bit clearer and it's indeed lossless.

Thank you!
