Hi-Rez & CD Quality downloads of long-lost MONO mixes, BBC compilations, Spectral Remixes and other curiosa, all meticulously restored from the best sources. Hendrix, The Who, Beatles, Love, Mothers, Stones, Them, The Dead, etc. Free for All!
F.A.Q.
Who? Retired sound engineer who loves music from the 60's & early 70's.
What? My aim is to make rare stuff publicly available again with the best possible sound quality.
Amazing to have this collection! I didn't download the previous posting for this because I thought I was fine with whatever official collection of BBC material had come out (in fact, I have a couple of them), but this will be my go-to for Jimi at the Beeb. Many thanks, Prof!
The original tape sources featured here are in the BBC archive, but the official releases use sketchy sources and dubs that are on file at the BBC and were unfortunately accepted as definitive at face value.
These kind of things still happen with BBC releases, if the compilers don't just grab stuff from random bootlegs (Rolling Stones).
Super thanks for this. This now sounds like three guys absolutely ripping it up on basic gear in small cold rooms. It is what it is and it is good! The two official releases sound like ugly tarted up messes (though growing up on Alan Douglass' work I do have a guilty soft spot or tolerance for it). Coupled with all the poor sound source but historically interesting material this is just terrific. Once again thanks for making the definitive versions of so much music.
WOW
