LEON REDBONE VPRO studio Hilversum The Netherlands January 28 1977


On October 13. 1978 I recorded this programme ("VPRO"s Nachtconcert") and have kept it for decennia, until now, 2006, and I am cleaning up those old recordings before they detoriate completely.

In 2001 there was a rebroadcast of this show, which I recorded as well, though this lacked the two last songs (the announcer talked through the end of track 5 and the beginning of track 6.)

I decided to to a back to back torrent of the two.

The old 1978 recordings were vamped up using EAC, Audacity and CD Wave Editor for boosting the volume, dehissing and editing.

The 2001 recording I only used CD Wave Editor on to edit the songs.

As an addition I kept the announcements and end credits of the show just for those who were wondering or, for those remeniscing how it sounded.

Mr. Redbone also brought a little casstteplayer on which he played some music in between songs.
