O'Keefe Centre, Toronto, On, Canada

CHUM FM Broadcast

New transfer July 2025
++++++++++++++++++++++

Lineage for this newly transferred version would go like this:


CHUM FM radio broadcast -> Unknown receiver -> AKAI glass head cassette recorder -> TDK SA-C90 master -> Nakamichi RX 202> Pioneer Stand Alone Burner PDR-609 > Eac > .wav files > WeTransfer > Pc > Soundforge 13 > Cdwave to split > Flac > Mp3tag to tag.

A funny thing is, I attended this show and I left my recorder on pause ready to record. My mother, (will the real God please stand up:), bless her soul, stood by and started the recorder perfectly on time for me. The rest is history.
This is hereby dedicated to Mae Johnston, my mother.

A special thanks to "theklopeks" (Jody) for doing the digital transfer for us as without his help this version would not exist. Cheers Jody!
