THE STYLE COUNCIL
Glasgow 1985 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Apollo, Glasgow, Scotland; June 16, 1985. Very good FM broadcast.
Thanks to guesswho for sharing the show at Dime.
guesswho noted:
Discovered a bunch of FM concert broadcasts I recorded onto cassette back in the day. Radio Clyde broadcast of 43 minutes of the gig. For some reason Clyde shifted My Ever Changing Moods from near the start of the set to near the end. I attempted to put it where it should be but due to the spoken intro crashing the start of You’re The Best Thing it was impossible to move without upsetting the flow.
This was the last ever gig at the Glasgow Apollo.
Lineage:
Tuner - Pioneer Cassette - Akai Cassette - PC - Adobe Audition - Audacity - TLH - Flac
Once on my PC I put the raw file through Adobe Audition to tweak the sound slightly including speed correcting.
I then tracked using Audacity before converting to FLAC using TLH.
