THE POGUES
December 1, 1986
Vredenburg, Utrecht, The Netherlands

Taken from the Dutch KRO "Op Slag Van Maandag" FM radio broadcast, March 22, 1987.
Source and lineage (taped and transferred by Magnix): FM > Tape > WAV > CD-R > WAV > FLAC level 8
Used software: Cool Edit Pro > CDWave > Adaptec Easy CD Creator or Nero Burning ROM > EAC v0.95b4 >
CDWave v1.94.5 > FLAC v1.1.2 as build in Traders Little Helper v1.1.1 (build 90).

and then: > wav > cool edit (dc offset, pitch/speed) > cd wave > flac

dc offset was miles out, pitch was less of a problem (-0.15 semitone).
very nice sound on this one, featuring a version of the rarely heard "the ballinalee"

from the original text file -
Another tape from the Magnix Live Archive.

The original transfer of this tape was done more than 6 years ago (April 2001).
FLAC, SHN, and the likes didn't exist yet (I think), and storage was not so easy as nowadays
(with affordable external harddrives, recordable DVD's, etc.), so this was only burned as audio,
and not as a lossless data backup file as well.
Now time has moved on, I'm going back to these older transfers to rip them for back up.
When the rip is OK, EAC-wise and soundwise, it will be transferred to FLAC for backup purposes right away.
If there's a problem, the old tape will be dug out again,
and a fresh transfer is made when the tape hasn't gone down any further.
And when I haven't come across the same or an upgraded version on a BitTorrent site or elsewhere,
it will be shared for others to enjoy.

Disclaimer.
Please note that this is a real FM capture, no cable, but straight from the airwaves.
Also, this comes from a tape that was already more than 14 years old at the time of transferring.
This means that some FM and/or tape anomalies or degeneration may be present.
Most has been fixed to the best of my abilities and most of this stuff is of very good quality.
MP3 samples will be provided upon request.

September 2007.
