As I said no editing or improvements....so feel free to make your own version. Hopefully someone here can do this with all the available sources and create the finale mix of this show.


To be honest I've done an improvement of Side A for myself (click & crackle removed / speed changed) with Nero Wave Editor and Audacity and the result is satisfactory...but I think that there are some people here arround on the zone who can do a much better job than me!

Thank you very much.

The tracks are not split. This is a torrent for those who need it:

Thanks Nordico !

It's definitely better than most versions, but still not quite as good as ShortSharkSock's copy heard here:

Judging by the waveform it looks like it's similar to the Get Down re-releases from 1993, so I have to wonder if his LP is indeed from a different pressing or if the gear used for the transfer really does make that much of a difference.. ?

I can assure you my copy is absolute not from a 1993 release. It was one of the first vinyl bootlegs I've bought in the eightees...
We have to wait for till ShorSharkSock's share his complete copy here....with the artwork.

I definitely wasn't insinuating that, just pointing out the similarity.

I think there are more versions of this LP than any of us realize !

thanks for the share

Hopefully the someday the best copy (Master Tape...!!) will be shared here!

Thanks a lot, Nordico!

Many thanks.

Thank you for the share!
Yes, it would be nice to hear how the master would sound like.

Don't know what happens, but this is what I wanted to post:

The gear used for a vinyl transfer indeed makes much of a difference. Imagine, there are people that pay over 10.000 dollars for a turntable, tone arm, cartridge and tube amplifiers. They wouldn't do so if it didn't make a difference. But rest assured, I've not spend so much on my sound system. (Not even close!)

Also a comment on the first or second press issue. There seems to be a general feeling that 'first press' records are superior to later pressings. Theoretical this might be right, but in common practice not. If the first stamper that's taken from the mother is worn out after more than 10.000 copy's, a new stamper would be made from the mother. This is than called 'second press', but the first pressings of this second press are most likely a lot better than the last few of the first press.

In case of this bootleg, it also possible that there never was a second press, and the same stamper is used again for more copies.

Since I bought my copy in the late eighties (it was already used) and it has a lighter green color, I think it was pressed after the dark green ones. The artwork and labels are exactly the same as the ones Nordico shares here.

I know that all lighter green and other colors are assumed to be from 1993, but that is certainly not true.

I think that sounds pretty accurate. Really looking forward to hearing your version in its entirety.
