Note:
I don’t normally circulate shows with any cuts or edits but this is a
good recording and I have not come across a better capture, so…. two tracks
have starts missing (a few seconds) and are marked by “Fade In”.

Also “Connswater” and “Summertime” are spoiled somewhat by a Whistling cretin
who felt the need to demonstrate his skills throughout both numbers, wish I could
have got my hands on him, he wouldn’t have whistled at another show !

Number: WARDOUR-096
Source: Silvers > EAC > WAV > jetAudio > FLAC

A brand new release from Wardour. This time they’ve released a 4 CD-set which contains both famous Wembley shows from July 1986.

The first night is the same old source, but from a much lower generation tape, as the old version had worse quality. This version sounds much better.

The second night is a new source, taped right near the stage in great quality. You can hear the whole concert performed as live as it was in fact, without all those overdubs present on the official releases.

The Beatles – London, England (01/01/62)

THE BEATLES
THE DECCA TAPES
The Definitive Edition
January 01, 1962
Decca Studios
West Hampstead, London, England

Remasters Workshop RMW 540

Pitch, level and phase corrected January 14, 2010 from the CD on Masterdisc 005.

OK, Beatle Peetle, this is it! The Decca Tapes…at the honest-to-(insert your favorite deity here) right speed, at last, no foolin’.

Despite what they all said about their Decca Tapes being speed-corrected, they were all wrong. These tracks have always been at the wrong pitch on every single issue – Deccagone, Circuit, Yellow Dog (twice), Vigotone, Masterdisc… but this issue is guaranteed to have these recordings running at A=440 on every track. Each has been played against the grand piano preset on a Korg M50 workstation, and adjusted to match in Adobe Audition 3. Even if the group were not precisely tuned to concert pitch when they played it, they are now. You can play your instrument with all the songs without having to retune or being even a hair sharp or flat.

The source used here is the Masterdisc CD. It sounded the best out of all the other issues, and had no noise reduction, except that it ran a semitone sharp, with some variations. There was a small imbalance in level between channels – that’s fixed. Not a fraction of a second of audio is added or taken away.

Two fixes have been performed. The first note of “Hello Little Girl” ramped down in speed from a higher pitch. That has been straightened out. And the folks at Masterdisc had combined the channels of their tape to mono. This was fine because their playback was in phase to begin with. But on “Searchin'” there were two spots right next to each other where the phase was out for a very short time, as it had the telltale swishing of phase cancellations. Those have been patched with audio from the Vigotone CD “March 5, 1963 plus The Decca Tape.”

That iteration was horribly out of phase due to azimuth misalignment during digital transfer; it was at the wrong speed (which was fixed), and it has a ton of noise reduction applied, which dulled the high end and rolled off the bass. Even after phase correction, it was still brighter in the left and duller in the right, evidence of multiple-generation dubbing on different tape machines. So the two fragments needed for the patches are taken from the left channel, and re-equalized to match the Masterdisc sound as closely as possible. It worked out so well that you’ll never hear it when the patches go by (the patches are less than a second in total).

Barring another issue from even closer to the master, this is about as good as it gets for the Decca Tapes.

Natalie Merchant – London, England (03/25/88)

Natalie Merchant
Donmar Warehouse
London, England
March 25, 1988
(opening for Tracy Chapman)

Source: aud > ? > CD received in trade > extracted via iTunes > FLAC

Sound quality: B / B+

Tracklist:

  1. A Campfire Song
  2. Gun Shy
  3. Everyone a Puzzle Lover
  4. Don’t Talk
  5. The Painted Desert
  6. Lilydale
  7. What’s the Matter Here?
  8. Maddox Table
  9. Verdi Cries
  10. Like the Weather
  11. After Talking To Myself (unreleased)
  12. Where the Soul Never Dies (with Tracy Chapman)

Notes:

This was Natalie’s second-ever solo performance (she also performed at this same location on the previous day), serving as the opening act for Tracy Chapman. Most songs are Natalie performing entirely alone, accompanying herself on piano, although there is cello on at least one song and possibly some limited acoustic guitar on another. Tracy Chapman performs with Natalie
on the final track.

This recording is interesting not only for the rare solo performances of older songs, such as “Everyone a Puzzle Lover”, “Lilydale”, and “Maddox Table”, but also for the unreleased song “After Talking to Myself”. There is at least one other recording of Natalie performing a partial version of that song, and it is available on the Chicago 4/14/88 recording (uploaded separately).
