"BBC Archives 67-69 - 40th Anniversary Edition"

Podcast Episode Summary

Show #150 Release date: 16. April, 2010

For this special edition of Brian Damage, accompanying us is RonToon of Harvested Records to discuss what Harvested does and to focus on their incredible sounding upgraded version of "BBC Archives 1967-1969".  The liner notes say "This release required a lot of work and took more than 6 months to complete. The purpose was to present each track in the best possible quality. The process was long because it was performed on a track by track basis. For each song, we had to compare many different sources in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each version and then decide which one(s) to work on. The mastering work was done very carefully, trying to repair every flaw that could be corrected... and there were a lot (tape warble, crackles, drop-outs, incorrect speed, etc)."  Enjoy!

Note: The Harvested release contains more tracks than whats here.  Mmwwahahahaaa!
