Lineage: the Grape's Sony Pressman with built in microphone > Maxell UD C90 cassette master.
Transfer (grner1 - 2022-08-01]: Nakamichi Dragon > Sound Devices MixPre-6 II @ 32bit(float)/96kHz > Pro Tools (normalize, minor seamless fixes, tracking and down-sampling - no EQ or noise reduction) > WAV files > xACT (Flac level 8 files, tagged with sector boundaries verified for the 16/44.1 files).

Approximately 1 minute was missing from the last chord of Uncontrollable Urge into the beginning of Mongoloid. That bit was patched in from the better channel of another source (Sony supplied microphone > Sony TC D-3 > TDK SA C90 cassette master > Nakamichi RX-505 > KindKables > Apogee Mini Me @ 24/48 > FLAC > xACT > Pro Tools (pitch adjust and splice into gap).

"Grape notes": Thanks to the one(s) responsible for recording the alternate source which has been shared here a few times between 2008 and 2019. That alternate source overall has much more audience noise and runs fast but worked well for the short patch needed here.  This is being offered as both 16/44.1 and 24/96 file sets for those who care about one or the other or both. Please support the artists and live venues any way that you can. Enjoy and SHARE!

Band Of The Month: OASIS **FINAL 2024-10-10 with Round 10**

Seems like the tour excitement is catching on and a few fans have found this page. I don't have anything specifically rare but might as well put it all up. Don't really wanna clear out any of the Google drives so it has to be Pixeldrain. There is a 5GB daily download limit but I probably only have a few days worth. This collection is by no means comprehensive. Share widely if you wish. To be honest going forward - I don't like posting anything I haven't listened to. I lost track and can't really dedicate my life to Oasis right now so it's up to you to point out any flaws, most importantly CD skips from bad rips or too much diginoise - 2 things that make me trash a recording. Anyone have a complete Manchester Dec 1994? The one on Dime is heavily redacted. Can any of the experts recommend anything particularly exciting? Maybe I will make this a monthly thing with a different band. Or not. Like I said, just not feeling it anymore. RIP Douglas Parenteau aka OasisDou...

back on Friday

Lots of crashing ticket prices but unfortunately I didn't feel like spending 6 hours on the bus to Inglewood and back so I have been taking it easy this week. And finishing transfers. Same old drill, I will write up the info files Friday morning and post, possibly deleting stuff to make room so if you have been dawdling on anything, grab it now because once it's gone, that's it. None of the stuff I was threatening to do in lieu of staying home and working on tapes ever materialized. Too hot, too complacent, THC burnout, etc.  + + + And again. Since I spent $229.60 on a concert ticket last night I will probably skip Herbie tonight and a bunch of other stuff I had on the calendar but it was so worth it. More time to work on transfers and get stuff up and out though.  Same old thing, if I have any new transfers, I will write up the info and post on Friday. A lot of the stuff I listen to like one or 2 songs at a time, throw down the markers, get bored and move on to something e...

Back On Friday

 I guess this means I will be back on Friday with any new transfers I might have done. Which ain't much.   * * * *    I will be back next Friday with at least the uncompleted projects I was trying to get up the other day. I didn't go to a single show in the last week period. I have a bunch on my calendar but other than the Prima Donna show I bought a ticket for, who knows what I will end up hitting. I just got a text from the dearly neglected saying "we should go see Billie Eilish" but I think she was one and done for me at least until she hits the corndog circuit. I might take her down there, find her a ticket and turn her loose inside like I did for the Foo Fighters Santa Barbara show but not spending "real money" on my ticket. I also notice stuff on the blog disappearing beneath the fold - when you click "more posts" at the bottom of the first page, it cuts out a huge chunk of content. Like 6-10 entries. I tried changing the amount of posts per ...
