Notes:
Ticket price: £14 (adv)

Having heard the Paul Jones BBC Radio 2 studio tracks posted on Dime (http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=289477) I was inspired to check out the live gig at The Brook just a few days later. Not that well attended but still a enthusiastic & friendly crowd. My recording has come out very nicely so I thought I would share it with all you good folks at Dime.

Note - I've left plenty of space on Disc 2 if you feel like adding the Paul Jones Tracks (all 6 of them!!, great stuff!!) after the live tracks.

For those interested - basic details of the mastering applied to my original Zoom H2 recording (using Wavelab6) are as follows:
A: EQ / Multiband Compression / Limiting (-0.2dB max) / Dithering to 16bit
B: WAVs edited to fit on to 2xCDRs (with overlap) plus fade in/out
C: track split

A note for any finicky audiophiles out there:
Mastering has been done to polish the raw master recording with the aim of enhancing the listening experience. If you prefer virgin recordings, unspoiled by any such amateur 'dabbling' then do not join in on this one. Be warned now ... I don't want any whinging! ;-)

But for the rest of you Dime'ers I recommend that you GO FOR THIS ONE ... you won't be disappointed!
I score the sound quality as 9 out of 10 ( = A- ); but hey! ... don't flame me if you don't agree ... & at least keep it friendly ;-)

If you have any comments, whether positive, negative or otherwise, I would love to read them ... don't be a lurker!
