DARK CIRCLE ROOM: 2021

RE-UPLOAD: The Sisters Of Mercy - No Time To Cry - German TV - 1985 (Proshot DVD)

Here's a gift for all of you . This is the playback performance of TSOM on german TV in 1985, with an image quality that is lightyears away from any source avaiable until now. It's a DVD, image 4:3 Letterbox, so to make it fit on your 16:9 LCDs you'll have to use the zoom function. If you watch it on VLC player, use the crop function to 16:9.

A HUGE THANK YOU to sleepchamber for sending this video to me.

Enjoy!

Fan made DVD for trading and sharing porpuses only!
DO NOT SELL THIS DVD!
Support the band by going to the concerts and buying merchandise.

It's been almost a month since I posted anything...So I figured I owed you something extra.

Taking a cue from the mighty ijwthstd.blogspot.com I decided to take a different approach, one simple wetransfer link for multiple recordings of a band.

THESE LINKS WILL BE DEAD IN A WEEK, so if you see something of interest take it as soon as possible.

Tell me what you think of this method, if readers like it, I might start doing some more of these posts.

Stay Safe.

Cheers.

NEED HELP!!!

Stay Safe.

UPDATE July 2020: Due to an overwhelming response to my plea for help, most of the blog is again in my possession. The exception are the recordings listed below, which I still need. Unfortunately, until I get them, re-uploads of the listed recordings are impossible to do.

Let me personally thank Frederic, Appick, Ledl33, Eggi, herr_zupp, bm, Gordon H, normnoia, lil_devil, Chris E, thebasement67, sam1, Michel, CCCCC, John M, BM, Marc U, Ced, STUMM101, Steve S, Dave_Sez, ziggyswoon, Zipty6, Pestilence, Egg_Crisis, Mario, Wim, Louise C, Jason D, Avatar, DKAY, MadPhil32, Richard H, dos, seelenstrom, Radek, gardeningatnite, Stephen F, Indika, Jason P, Bastien C, Rob SG, Koubiako, drolem, Alfred H, Gordon H, drido, Phillipe B, Jaeger, Inez, Marco L, Nick P, Bohdi Amol, machicouli, Steve, zenlunatic, mentallystillinthe80s, Uwe B, pillowman, monotype, teenagesintaste, Koubiako, DrG, Rob D, Rob K, Scott A, Stocky1988, Johnny V, Adam P, Mick Mercer, Ronan, derfapplez, stormtrigger, Juan SM, T Unalan, Vince, Derek P, creatured, analogkid610, Nigel B, Nuno M, Scott R, Mike M, Markus K, Craig G, Patrizio V, Frank and Jens D, for sending a lot of the files I was missing. Added a lot more, so still needing help.

So, I had a Hard Drive crash, exactly the Hard drive that had all the recordings that were on the blog. I had a second backup drive, but unfortunately it only contained the video files and half of the audio files..

To try to keep this archive alive, I'm asking the blog readers to give back some of what they received from the blog. Only on that way, can this blog be alive. I'm going to intensify the blog posts on this self-isolation time, and ask to anyone that can send me some of the missing recordings to do so.

Below it's a preliminary list of missing recordings, that were already posted in the decade of existence of the blog. I will update this list daily with more recordings missing and removing the ones that were sent to me.

You can share these recordings with me via Mega, Wetransfer, GoogleDrive, Yousendit, or whatever means you want, to this email address:

darkcircleroom@gmail.com

Or if you prefer you can upload them on Dime, TTD or Zomb.

Thanks in advance. This is the list for now.

Thanks to borzage for sending me his remaster to share here.

- MULTIBAND REMASTER by the Digital Loyalist -

Thought i tried to remaster of this audience recording using some Multiband Compression as i already done with my previous torrents.

Vocals are a bit distorted but i think that's the way it was on stage and the remastering brought it up. Nevertheless i decided to leave it like that because it's such a great gig though quite noisy.

Thanks Foxtrotter.

Enjoy !

I posted these recordings 2 years ago, thaey're now made available again by the taper. HUGE Thank You to Brent for all his work, it's much appreciated.

Original message by the taper:

This week (May 2021) is 2 years since The Cure played 5 Disintegration 30th Anniversary shows at the Sydney Opera House, the last time I shared my recordings was 2 years ago in the week or so after the shows, around 10,000 people downloaded them back then, but I'm sure there are still people who missed them and would like to download them...
So here's direct download links to my complete and uncut master recordings of all 5 shows.
I recorded using Roland R-07 digital recorder > SP-SPSB-8-MKII 9 volt battery box > SP-CMC-4U cardioid stereo microphones on sunglasses arms ontop of my head pointed towards the stage/hanging speaker stacks.
First lot of links are CD standard 16bit/44100Hz resolution, the second lot are 24bit/96000Hz resolution, most people will probably only need the 16bit/44100 files unless they're planning on playing on a high end system. I recommend boosting up the high range (treble) frequencies using a graphic equalizer for them to sound really great!
These are the exact same file sets I shared 2 years ago.

Tape flip during opening moments of last song. Matched drumbeats on the edit so it's barely noticeable, if at all.

Her band had been due to play at the Duchess on 3rd Aug 1992. I went along to the gig only to find it'd been cancelled at the last moment. On that occasion the band was named as "Sister Gun" on the gig advertisements although I've no idea if this was an official name or the Duchess's doing, but perhaps a Sisters-based name wasn't a good idea anyway, given what happened when two other ex-Sisters tried something similar with their band!

This tape is again from the collection of DiploDerek, who unfortunately is not with us any more, so we dedicate this post to his memory and with it try to spread all the love that Derek had for (this kind of) music. Below is a picture of him with with Irita, the bass player from LA Witch.

MULTIBAND REMASTER by the Digital Loyalist -

I guess you all know that this is one of the very best live show from Joy Division.

In 2012, FAGE did a great remaster out of the VARA Radio Station Master who recorded this fantastic gig.

In 2021, i thought it was time to try to do a slight remaster of this one bringing more power to this performance, adding more brilliance, trying to widen the sound.

So this is it. If you prefer to stick to FAGE, you can listen to it there :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgtlOYlqf1o

41 years after Ian Curtis left, this music still haunts us more than ever.

This is the first set.
If you want the second set, we'll see if here is enough demands.

Hope you'll enjoy it.

Cheers

A legendary Joy Division set from the 1980 European tour, preparing for the launch of Closer. After the opening act doesn't show, the band play for much longer than normal, a seventeen-song set that includes all the hits - and it's captured in astonishing quality on an FM broadcast, with this bootleg being sourced from the master tape.

Tape story:
The venue is a big club in Bologna. I located myself at about 10 m from the stage.
This is a mono recording because I had massive problems with the connection between the 9V battery and the battery box (left channel unusable).
Nevertheless the sound is crisp and clear (and with a very professional screamer during the first half of JD set).

What about the show?
It was my fifth Peter Hook and The Light show in about three years (Movement/PCL set in Roncade 2014 and Unknown Pleasures/Closer sets in Lisbon 2014, Florence 2015 and Soliera 2016, all taped).
NO set was significantly shortened compared to the other Substance shows (only 2 B-sides at the beginning and no Shellshock nor State Of The Nation).
Dave Clough on keyboards.

Technical notes:
- As mentioned above this is a mono recording: right channel has been used in place of the unusable left one with a slight equalisation because the original recording was a little bit boomy.
- The total running time of the recording was 2:31:47; I have cut the first 9:17 mins of intro recorded music from PA and the last useless 24 secs reducing the master firstly to 2:22:06.
- Then I have divided the recording in two separate parts, "New Order" set (1:12:16) and "Joy Division" set (1:00:11), deleting 9:39 mins of recorded music from PA between the two main sets.
- "New Order" set: I have amplified the recording (+3.5 dB) and faded-out the last 6 secs.
- "Joy Division" set: I have amplified the recording (+3.0 dB), faded-in the first 8 secs and faded-out the last 7 secs.
- If you burn to audio CD, you will need 2 CDs (CD1: 01-13; CD2: 14-28)

A short but sweet set from Television. Their first Detroit appearance, opening for Peter Gabriel, on his first solo tour.
Yes, that's booing you're hearing...a prog. rock crowd sitting
through a set by what they perceived as a 'punk' band from New York.
Television were a surprise opening act. We expected a opening band, we just didn't know it was going to be them until they were introduced, luckily I was set up to tape whoever it was going to be.

Marvellous show!! My first time at a David J concert and i enjoyed it big time. It was a small audience for a big venue but the room was filled with good vibes and so was the show. Beautiful arrangements, great sound, David in a good mood and a great house sound. My recording is untouched i listened to it and decided to leave it as it is because it sounds great to me.

This comes from a vinyl bootleg I likely picked up on one of my many trips to the UK in the 1980's. I suspect it comes from Italy due to all the spelling errors ("Manifactured By", "Previously Unrealeased"). It was on the MANINBLACK RECORDS LTD label, and supposedly limited to 500 copies. It's actually a very nice pressing with about zero surface noise, if you can believe it. Good stuff! Enjoy!

An excellent gift by Christian, who sent me this soundboard recording to share here, here's some info about it, that he was kind enough to share:

The Thompson Twins were pretty much pop in the mid '80s, but their early incarnation was something else - a seven piece as opposed to a three piece.

A few years ago, a concert came to light within the Thompson Twins collectors circle that had pretty much been unknown. It was the Thompson Twins recorded live at the Nite Club in Edinburgh, Scotland on the 17th of February, 1981. This turned out to be the earliest known live recording - a complete concert - by the then seven piece. Up until 2018, the earliest known live recording was the First Session 12" (12th February, 1981), but that was just four tracks and performed in a studio for the BBC.

What's great about this show is that it contains some tracks that have never had a studio version put out (Physics And Chemistry) as well as performances of a couple of their earliest singles (Squares And Triangles, She's In Love With Mystery and Fast Food). This concert was on a reel-to-reel tape. The collector who got this had to do a bit of restoration, but not much. The first song that was on the reel-to-reel was the ending of a song by a group called Everest The Hard Way (listed as track 00 in the flac folder). This song was left on there to preserve the posterity of the show. This show is a great glimpse into what they were before hitting it big and pairing down to just three people.

The folder is dated 14th of February, but the date of the concert is 17th of February as shown by the advert of the tour featured on the art folder.

00-The Best Years

Sins of the Flesh we're a second wave British goth band, who released a couple of EPs and and an LP in 1989 and 1990, their sound was quite influenced by Christian Death and Sex Gang Children. After their first LP they started to change their sound adding more electronic and mixing their goth roots with some PWEI beats. They were calling this era 2ND Coming and recorded a lot of demos, but only released an EP and this tape before disbanding. A compilation CD with some tracks of this era was released in 1995, but did not include any of these tracks.

This tape is from the collection of DiploDerek, who unfortunately is not with us any more, so we dedicate this post to his memory and with it try to spread all the love that Derek had for (this kind of) music. Below is a picture of him with Anne-Marie Hurst + Andy Cousin.

Nonetheless, bearing in mind the rarity and historical significance of this Dutch recording, it should be kept in circulation, and thanks to Hans De Vente for sharing his tape. Other European 1977 audience recordings still online are Manchester at http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f145/television-1977-05-26-manchester-uk-aud-flac-164575.html (FLAC, thanks to the great EDGE, at least the Filefactory link is still live) and Lyon at http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f90/television-lyon-france-8-june-1977-a-163324.html (320, thanks to the great tinajazz, the Turbobit link is still live). The only other known 1977 recordings are from LA's Whiskey A Go Go on April 5th and 14th which are rough to say the least and are no longer online.

RIP Pete.

Remastering>Hiss removal, EQ & stereo expansion with adobe audition 3>you
**New MD5 created

The original, although a nice enough recording, suffered from hissing & was a bit thin & dry for my taste. Quite tiring to listen to all the way through.
Noise floor changed to -23.4dB & hiss reduced by 24dB
Stereo image has also been widened to 166%
EQ-d to warm up the bottom end & take the edge off the snare sound.
Tried to bring Marx up in the mix, but the results just made my teeth hurt.
Hope you like the result.

Excellent PreFM recording of the Picture Tour for the Faith album with the extra 4 songs from FM.. This version was recently shared on Dime, minus the song Faith, which is included in this link, and banned because of suspicion of lossy ancestry.
The spectrum posted at Dime that showed cut off leading to claims of lossy lineage is the same as other versions of FM recordings from the 80’s, it’s also the same as the FM recording from the 2005 6 song broadcast, which means that the original master is the cause of the lossy looming spectrum, it has nothing to do with the use of any type of lossy process when editing it,

Huge Thanks to Brent Graham for sending me the link to share here.

Master clean up / edited / shared by Brent Graham.

-----------------------------------------
FIRST TIME IN CIRCULATION.
***Australian version, 11 songs digitized from 1/4 inch reel to reel tape, multitrack mix master.
***Plus 4 songs not included in the Australian version, digitized from master cassette tape (first tape no copies) recording of Canadian radio broadcast in the 80's.
-----------------------------------------

Today 14th April 2021 is 40 years since the release of The Cure's 1981 Faith album, I think the 40th anniversary would be a good time to share one of the rarities I have in my live Cure collection, the best sound quality recording I have of the tour from 1/4 inch reel to reel tape, I know that no other person has this, so this is a first for anyone to hear this in such great quality! No doubt it's the best sound quality anyone will have heard from the Picture Tour for the Faith album, there were better performances / shows, but this is undoubtedly the best sound quality of anything out there from
1981, so for the 40th anniversary of the albums release I'd like to put it out there and share it with everybody...

To make the show as complete as possible I have patched in 4 songs from a master cassette tape recording from Canadian radio in the 80's (In Your House, Primary, Jumping Someone Else's Train and Another Journey by Train), those 4 songs were not included in the Australian broadcast, the quality of those 4 songs is OK but not great, but the best that can be found.

The 1/4 inch tape digitization did not have Robert's comment before Faith "This is the last song it's called Faith" or the comment after Faith "Thank you good night", so I have patched in those 2 comments by taking them from the Charlotte Sometimes 12" vinyl single (the live version of Faith on the Charlotte Sometimes 12" vinyl single B-Side is from this show). The reason I sourced the comments from the 12" vinyl and not from the extras CD of the Faith album remaster is because the 12" vinyl single has a longer amount of crowd noise before Faith than the remaster bonus CD, which allowed me to seamlessly join up the crowd in between A Forest and Faith without having a cut in the crowd between the 2 songs.

I needed to do a bunch of fixing/cleaning up ("mastering") on the 1/4 inch tape digitization, the left channel was noticeably less bright sounding and lower volume than the right channel, I'm unsure if it was damaged tape edge, incorrect azimuth or tape head alignment during digitization, or maybe for some strange reason was EQ'd down, but after some time and effort I have got it to closely match the right channel and sound as it should (EQ'd left channel separately to match right, EQ'd both channels together). I also did a bunch of work on the 4 songs from Canadian radio broadcast (swapped left & right channels, EQ'd, lowered volume, and corrected speed-tempo & pitch -2.6% / -2.9% (about 45-50 cents as the cassette tape was playing quite fast).
I also EQ'd and lowered volume of the comments before and after Faith taken from the Charlotte Sometimes 12" vinyl single B-side. Overall no real problems anymore, the 1/4 tape has a bit of hiss sometimes noticeable left channel, but nothing bad, it is related to the very slight tape damage or digitizing issues I mentioned above. The main problem with the 4 songs from radio cassette tape was that the hit-hat was almost ear piercing, so I brought 12.k down around -13dB which has improved it greatly, but will never be able to be fixed properly.
I think it should sound good with standard type bass/treble controls around about bass 40% / treble 60% / subwoofer pretty low !?!?

This is all of the songs that exist of this show from this 1/4 inch tape source, after the multitrack tapes were mixed and edited down for Australian & Canadian 1981 radio broadcasts they were probably re-used / recorded over, but I think likely were given to Robert Smith, as I do know that Robert has multitracks of the show because he told me himself...
It would be nice to hear a full show re-mix from Robert's multitracks some day!, some of the mixing could be improved!

Some notes...
Faith from this show was officially released as the B-Side on the Charlotte Sometimes 12" vinyl single in October 1981.
Robert introduces Charlotte Sometimes as "this is a song we've only ever done once live", nobody would have known Charlotte Sometimes at the time as the single/song was not released until 2 months after the show.
Robert plays 6 string bass in Primary and Faith, and sings while playing synthesizers in The Holy Hour,
The Funeral Party, All Cats Are Grey, and Charlotte Sometimes, Simon also plays synth during the intro to A Forest and plays bass synth pedals in Faith, most noticeable the last minute or so of the song.
Faith is an extended 10 minute version with ad lib lyrics and 6-string bass.
The last song Forever is a "jam" with ad lib lyrics based on the instrumental track Three from the Seventeen Seconds album, it was played to end most shows on the tour (similar to All Mine in 1982), and played here and there throughout
The Cure's history to end shows, but this Picture Tour for the Faith album was the last year it was played to end almost every show of the tour.

In addition to the 1981 radio broadcasts of which only mostly badly degenerated sounding cassette tape copies exist, a few songs were broadcast on Australian radio in 1995, then 6 songs broadcast on Australian radio in 2007, however the quality of the actual broadcast was poor, the sound was very thin and brittle, so this is an all round huge upgrade.
The 80's Canadian broadcast did not include All Cats Are Grey, and when it was played during the Australian 80's broadcast a ladies voice (I presume the DJ) spoke over the top of the song 1 minute before the end saying "testing testing 1 2 3 testing", so this is the first time All Cats Are Grey has been available witout the ladies voice speaking over the song.

---------------------------------------
Track listing is:

*All songs Australian source digitized from 1/4 inch reel to reel tape, except 02 - In Your House, 05 - Primary,

TOTAL: 1h:17min:25sec.
---------------------------------------

Based on setlists of the time it's most probable the whole concert was the following setlist below, they had recently started playing the yet to be released Charlotte Sometimes B-side Splintered In Her Head in between Grinding Halt and A Forest, but in the reel to reel recording you can actually hear the last second of Grinding Halt before A Forest starts, so it's unlikely Splintered In Her Head was played.
The show is most probably complete except for the following 7 songs : The Drowning Man, 10.15 Saturday Night, Accuracy, At Night, Fire In Cairo, Play For Today, Grinding Halt.

Recorded by Frans to cassette, digitised by Frans

A very rare (but probably incomplete) FM Radio recording of Manchester's finest post-punk/funksters, A Certain Ratio.
Recorded during a short Benelux tour at Paard van Troje in Den Haag, the recording does show it's age with a little low freq background noise in places, some interference (probably from the radio) and a little distortion during Knife Slits Water. There is also some evidence of pauses during some tracks (talk over edited out?).
