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.

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.
