The Damned - Berkeley Square, Berkeley, California, USA - 06.03.1982 (Flac)




Good FM broadcast. Thanks to the original uploader on Dime.

Original Info File:

Lineage - 1st Gen (?) Cass > PC > Wav > TLH (Sbe's & Flac 8) > Dime...


01 - I Fall
02 - Wait For The Blackout
03 - Disco Man
04 - I Just Can't Be Happy Today>
05 - Plan 9 Channel 7
06 - Melody Lee
07 - Noise Noise Noise
08 - Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde
09 - Limit Club
10 - Love Song (cut)

This was acquired in a trade, & was originally broadcast on KALX FM.  It's a lively show & a very worthwhile one, recorded on the last night of a

month long US tour, but unfortunately the last track is cut, & I'm not sure why...There is a little hiss but nothing to detract from the overall,

 & the recording itself is fairly well mixed & balanced - it also seems to have not been edited for radio consumption...

Don't turn this to mp3, decode it to wav & burn 'em...

The Damned - The Gramercy Theater, NY, USA - 29.10.2016 (Flac)



HUGE Thanks to the tapers for sharingtheir recordings and to Stacheleber for doing the matrix.

Original Info File:

Celebrating 40 years

This is a matrix made of 3 different recordings which have been upped to dime.

Rec. info of the single versions:

Version 1
recorded by madelf, audience master
Edirol R-09 w 2 audio technica mics (1 At-831b & 1 pro 7a) > wavelab 6 > TLH > make torrent 2 > dime
Recorded on the front railing right in front of the hanging speakers in front of Oxy. A pretty prime spot.

Version 2
recorded by spitback:

Recording: Schoeps MK41s > Nbob actives > Nbox Platinum (ABS) > Sony PCM-M10
Transfer: SD Card > 24/96 Wav > usb > iMac > Audacity > 16/44.1 Aiff > xAct > FLAC (level 8)

Recording location: Next to Soundboard

Version 3
recorded by Nitcomb: SP-CMC-8(AT-U853A Cards)->
SPSB-4 Battery Box-> Roland R-05 16/44.1
Lineage: SD Card-> Pro Tools-> xAct-> Flac

Recorded

Processing of matrix:
flac files of 3 versions -> transfer to wav-files -> Samplitude 11 Silver -> arrangement of matrix -> edit/remaster -> transfer to flac -> dime
I had to adjust the speed between the versions minimally. Some minor EQ was made (bass + treble lifted) and sound level adjusted.

The result is a great sounding recording of a fantastic show. Many thanks go to the tapers for recording and uploading.
I found the poster of the show in the web and attached it here. Aslo attached is a photo by spitback from his original upload.

Top Of The Pops - The Punk Years No2 (ProShot DVD)









All credits to Bandit999. Thanks S+©kmªÑ for the link.

Bandit999 Presents

Top Of The Pops - The Punk Years No2

OK here is "Top Of The Pops - The Punk Years No2"
Which is made up of mainly first generation VHS videos recorded when
the UK satellite channel UK Gold re-broadcast lots of full episodes,
theres a few that are not from UK Gold but they are OK quality.
I have edited out the presenters talking where i could without losing
too much of the start of the song, this makes it a lot better to watch
as the presenters did go on a fucking lot...

For some reason the quality of this volume seems a little lower than the
first one. These were some of the first DVD's i made after getting a DVD
recorder, i have been going to re-do them at the highest quality which
would mean 5 DVD's instead of just 2 at the least, i will get around to
doing them at some point, just not for a while due to the other stuff i
want to do first, i would suggest getting these until i do the HQ ones.

Fully authored as usual enjoy, your friend Bandit999

Punk Brittania Ep.1 (DVD)






Brilliat documentary, if you already seen the Krautrock or Synth Brittania you know what to expect, if you didn't, you don«t know what you're missing. Thanks to the original uploader.

Pre-Punk 1972-1976

Episode 1 of 3

Duration: 1 hour

Narrated by Peter Capaldi, this opener of a three-part documentary series in BBC FOUR's celebrated 'Britannia' strand is scheduled to chime with the 35th anniversary of the Queen's Silver Jubilee and the arrival of punk as national and then international music culture. The film explores the road to punk in Britain, which begins in the early 70s with a young generation already conscious that they have 'missed the 60s party' and are stuck in a Britain heading for economic woes and dwindling opportunities. Meanwhile the music of the day - prog and super rock - seems to ask not for their interest and involvement, but only their awe and their money.

But before the punk generation finally arises to have its say during 1976 come a group of pub rockers, a generation of bands sandwiched between 60s hippies and mid-70s punks who will help pave the way towards the short, sharp shock of punk, only to be elbowed aside by the emergence of the Sex Pistols, the Clash et al.

An unlikely cast of characters set the scene for punk in early 70s Britain. Reacting against overblown super rock of the day and the glam their younger sisters like on Top of the Pops, pub rock set the template for punk. Small venues, fast retro rock n roll and bags of attitude typified bands like Dr Feelgood, Ducks Deluxe, Kilburn and the High Roads and Eddie and the Hotrods. These bands engendered a small London scene which is sometimes forgotten and helped define the Pistols, the Clash and the Damned, both positively and negatively.

Featuring copious unseen archive footage and interviews with John Lydon, Paul Weller, Mick Jones, Wilko Johnson, Nick Lowe, Adam Ant, Brian James and many more.
