The Sisters of Mercy - Artmania, Sibiu, Romania - 13.08.2010 (DVD)

I wasn't intending to share this one here in the DCR, but after I posted the DIME link at Heartland, I got some PMs and e-mails from HLers asking me to post this one because they didn't had a DIME account.

All credit for taping and sharing goes to Satanic/ www.bloodbath.ro . It's a excellent audience recording, even if the taper is very far from stage and with the zoom almost always at the max, he still keeps a steady image dispite the fact that he didn't had a tripod, so an extra Shout Out Loud for his skills, Respect!

Was the first visit of the SoM in Romania, at one of the best festivals from here (Artmania). This version (i think exist more two - i see the videocameras in the venue) is a handy record. To put my tripod somewhere was to much for the promoters :)).

This dvd is not for sale. Was made by a fan for others fans so please, keep the original format, don't reencode, don't split (dual layers dvd's is very cheap and almost all dvd writers recognize this format), trade for free and go to concerts and buy official products!

Cassette(aud,master,TDK AR90,recorded on Sony Recording Walkman with T-shaped external mic[Eurochannels EMC3630]) > wav > Soundforge(even up L+R chans,tidying up tape flip) > CDWave > split on sector boundaries > flac(6)~

I used to take the tapes apart and shorten the leader tape from the end of side A meaning I could let the tape run to the end so it auto-reversed and only missed around half a second.  Tape flip during intro of If You Only Knew (0:52 into song). As that part was just a drumbeat & guitar I joined it on a drumbeat, losing less than a second of audio in the process but making a nice seamless edit.

Salvation - Great Northern Rock Session, 02.11.1987 (Flac)

A the second contribution og Egg_Crisis to the blog today. I already had been asked for more stuff from this band, unfortunately I had nothing worthy of posting, so this one fits as a glove. Again Thanks to Egg_Crisis for sharing this session here on DCR.

Original Info file:

01 Payola
02 Pearl Necklace
03 Unicorn
04 The Happening
05 Thunderbird
06 Listen To Her Heart
07 Interview (Incomplete)

Length - 25:34

Great Northern Rock was a radio show broadcast on various BBC local radio stations in the Yorkshire area, BBC Radio Sheffield, BBC Radio Leeds, BBC Radio Humberside being 3 of them.

It's probably only 1st gen although it sounds a lot worse due to poor radio reception.  Recorded by a friend in York, unless she got it from someone else in which case it's 2nd gen. I received the tape in December'87 so it hadn't had time to go a lot of generations.

There's a weird sound at 2:53 on track 2, 0:57 on track 4, 2:40 of track 5, and 2:08 of track 6 that's present on the original tape, not a processing artifact.  Sounds like maybe the record button was pressed instead of stop at some point before I got it. The right channel was noticeably worse than the left, and normally I'd have thrown the right channel away and just used the left, but the stereo is quite noticeable in parts so I had to keep both.

Dawn After Dark - Crystal High (1st single, April 1988, FLAC)

The contributions of Egg_Crisis to DCR just started two days ago, but today they lift off to really high levels, with three gems not to be missed. First one is this rip of the first single by a lost and forgotten band from the 80's. A Huge Thank You to him.

Some info about the band taken from their MySpace:

Formed in 1986 and based in Birmingham the early Dawn After Dark were heavily influenced by bands such as Death Cult and these influences showed heavily on their first demos...

Relentless gigging and general badgering brought them to the attention of Chapter 22 Records and London based Metropolis music, who became the bands management... 1987 saw the band traverse the UK as headliners and as support act to New Model Army, Ghost Dance, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, The Swans and the Rose of Avalanche...

1988 saw the release of Crystal High on Chapter 22 Records and saw the band tour with Fields of the Nephilim on the mark of the watchman tour. This saw the band gain a following in the shape of the Warriors, later to become the Dawn Losers, basically a hardcore group of kitbag toting lunatics that followed and supported the band everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Crystal High sold out in the first week of the Nephilim Tour and 'Dawners' T shirts appeared everywhere... 1

988 saw the release of The Groove and more tours followed with Balaam and the Angel, Living Colour, Gaye Bikers on Acid, Pop Will Eat Itself, The Wonderstuff. The Groove appeared in the indie charts and the band appeared in full page spreads/interviews in Kerrang and numerous fanzines. To top it all Dawn After Dark appeared it the top 20 best new bands in Sounds music poll of 1988. ..

1989 started to see the demise of the 'alternative' scene and in a bid to survive the changes Dawn After Dark rightly or wrongly started to change their sound and a heavier influence came in...

1989 saw the release of Maximum overdrive and gigs with The Dogs D'Amour, All About Eve and touring with Wolfsbane followed. Dawn after dark headlined and filled venues such as the Marquee and Irish Centre in Birmingham

Tape flip during If You Only Knew.  I used to take the tapes apart and shorten the leader tape from the end of side A meaning I could let the tape run to the end so it auto-reversed and only missed around half a second.  I patched up the missing half second from another part of the song to make a seamless edit (2:45 into the song).

Notes:
I'm not sure about how this is tracked, she did some guitar interludes between songs.
I'm clueless to what the songs sound like, i.e. starts and finishes, and no Myspace
clues to go by. I did the best I could.. I think it's close

The Band:
Anna Calvi - Vox, Guitar,
Mally Harpaz - Harmonium, Percussion,
Daniel Maiden-Wood - Drums, Back Vox

WIKI:
Anna Calvi is an English musician who plays in the band of the same name.

of 2011 poll. Her self-titled debut album was released in the United Kingdom
on 17 January 2011, where it debuted at number 40 on 23 January.
