Thanks must go to all those whose efforts in capturing, compiling and editing these recordings enable so many others to enjoy music that would be lost forever to the air.
The FLAC files are uploaded exactly as received. The exact lineage is unknown though these recordings have been carefully and skilfully compiled and edited to produce a near seamless recording.
Flac Report included.
This looks really great – thanks so much Mat (and FM)!

What source did you use for the Montreux ’80 Wavelength? Sounds so much better than the circulating boot, on a par with the DVD release. I’d love to have the whole audio in this quality. It’s possibly my single most listened to Van recording!

I’m afraid I did not put this compilation together. A friend of the site called FreeMorrison did. I have no idea where he got it. And I’m afraid he seems to have left the scene.
