Total Time ::: 31:29
::: EXC FM broadcast tape, Check samples to see if it meets yr standards or for a post-download buzz.
::: Warts: Taper shut off deck between some songs. Occasional very slight volume/stereo imaging fluctuation between channels (no problem!). DJ talks over music at start of #8.
::: Incomplete broadcast tape. Anyone have the rest?
::: #1. Extra long instrumental ending? Usually has vocals in last 2 minutes, but they're all finished here.
Recording Information (lineage not certain) ::: WDR-FM stereo broadcast -> master off-air stereo tape (reel?) -> 1st generation reel -> 2nd generation cassette -> DAT -> CD-R.
Remastering 2015-08-22 ::: CD-R -> EAC -> 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, +1.5% pitch (speed) fix with single pass after frequency analysis & with pitchpipe verification, NO equalisation] -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. First uploaded week of 2015-08-29.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.
DimeTravel 171 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! ::: Corrections welcome ::: A magical period for Wizz, what a lovely sound. More in a folk than blues vein here & a great set selection. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
