Roy Harper
1969-xx-xx* _ Stockhom(?), Sweden _ unknown program _ (M-TV remastered)

~*~ Carefully remastered fixing various issues, with NR & EQ ~*~

01. Don�t You Grieve
02. Feeling All The Saturday
03. I Hate The White Man
04. Goodbye (with Turid)

Total Time ::: 16:29

::: VERY fine TV studio broadcast with some sibilance. Check samples for instant enlightenment or injection.
::: Warts (NOT to worry you!): Repaired dullspots but surely missed a few. Sibilance issues decreased but still present. Slight distortion on louder guitar passages.
::: (*) actually labeled late 1969 or 1970. Unknown (city) location & TV program. Stockhom is a guess.
::: TV show was split between Roy, and Turid (a Swedish folksinger who joins Roy on his last song).
::: Remastered from Lagga shoebox recording #8.
::: Live versions of 4 songs from "Flat Baroque And Berserk", Harper's 1st of 8 albums for Harvest.

Recording Information ::: original mono TV broadcast -> unknown reel-to-reel machine -> master reel -> unknown digital transfer method.

Remastering 2015-11-xx ::: master TV recording flacs -> TLH -> wavs -> Audacity [normalisation to remove DC offset, channel/phase alignment, fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch, bump, pop, click, dropout & dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, NR & EQ as noted below] -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. First uploaded week of 2015-11-21. Further remastering notes: This suffers from excessive sibelance ("s" sounds") - Roy does not have a lisp! The Spitfish "de-essing" program didn't help. As recommended in some audio forums, manually lowering each incident improved it a lot - perhaps 50% of the problematic impact is gone. NR removed some hum & hiss without leaving artifacts (IMO). While it could generally use some high end, increasing highs brought out problems. EQ'd a bit by notching out around 250Hz. Many dullspots/dropouts were repaired.

Line-up ::: Roy Harper - acoustic guitar, vocals // #4 Swedish folksinger Turid - backing vocals.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

DimeTravel 228 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader, Lagga! ::: Corrections welcome ::: This came about as a part of a larger Roy Harper project I was working on. At first there wasn't so much apparent I could do for improvement, but then I relaised there was a lot, it was just going to take some time. Wonderful & incredible time period for Harper. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
