THIS IS A LOW QUALITY RECORDING....BE WARNED !!!

You'll need to break the long ones on your own terms. The first track is 90 minutes and you will need to split it if going to CD.

The information on this upload is incredibly interesting. No doubt about it. It is not easy to listen to. I am not sure if it's one interview session or two, as there seems to be a "goodbye" in the middle. I am not able to absorb it all and determine if there are segments out of place (in a single interview) or if there are two seperate interviews. Believe me folks...I tried to sort this out...but it's consuming too much time for me to try to continue. It's basically an informational listen, with Page's responses on tape telling a story in itself. The written word doesn't quite convey the reactions you will experience. It's valid. Even if you've read the statements he made previously...it's revealing to hear them said by the man himself. (ie:Jimmy reveals that he was a taper, and names 4 bands that he taped!). Oh yes...it's worthy

The segments are natural to the reel tape I am copying it from. There is a 2 minute overlap of dialouge on the end sequence. You get what I got, because I couldn't really figure out a better way to do it. I could have spliced this bit...but what's the point when I am unsure of the sequence of the whole thing? I'm beat down and broken trying to better this thing. I initially envisioned this wonderfully annotated thing with nice segment breaks, but I just got broken myself. Again...the information is there, and you shouldn't be listening to this if it's not for information, and the deliverer's tone. Portions are almost unintelligible. You'll need to know semi-obscure English band names funneled thru English accents to get it all. This is probably a cheap cassette with built in mic, sitting on a couch beside Jimmy...yet Pete Frame's voice booms in at times...I don't have a solid picture.. Not wonderful at all...yet revealing for those who put the effort in. And it will be effort to understand everything said...yet it all can be understood.

I received this as "a tape at Jimmy's house" with "Charlotte delivering tea".

The information was used for a Feb 1972 Zig Zag fanzine, so the interview may actually have been late 1971...I don't know.

I recommend headphones with your eyes closed to help "put you in the room", and stabilize your focus on the voices...that helps a lot.

My source tapes were way worse than this. Boomy bass, low volume levels, and no high end. I tried several combinations of Soundforge presets to improve it. Settled on 1) 6db high end boost, 2) noise redux #1, and 3) normalize volume at 90%. That's really the best you'll get outta me. I searched the web for how to handle voice recordings and got nowhere. If someone out there can turn this sow's ear into a silk purse...lay it on me.

This isn't a "kick your feet up and have a beer while listening to the speakers with your friends" thing. It's for serious researchers to mull over, and over, in a private setting.

I probably could have typed out the damn transcript in the time I've spent already...but then you'd miss all the inflections and reactions.

I would guess there are about 10 people out there who will salivate over this,and 200 who will wish that they had never downloaded it.

IF YOU'RE NOT SURE YOU WANT TO HEAR THIS...DON'T TRY...I DON'T WANT TO READ COMPLAINTS THAT YOU WEREN'T WARNED. This is lossless, but somewhat ugly.
