Musical archaeology. One of my many bad habits is converting all my LP records and original cassettes to wav or mp3 , in an attempt to preserve what I think could get lost with time. It’s only another format change and, however much I work on it, the result is not always as good as hoped, but I like to do it. I copy it in wav from a cassette player to my PC, I use a program to separate individual tracks, I fiddle with the sound if needed, I convert it to mp3, at 320kbps if possible, and finally I scan the sleeves or add new custom-made ones. Some time ago I converted a Back To Zero tape, in what was maybe my third attempt. I bought my “original” tape from Detour Records when they sold LP’s and cassettes by mail, back when CD toasters still ran with SCSI cards. I fathom this tape is a copy of a copy of a copy. When you find bootlegs on the web you classify them in three categories: VERY good sound, acceptable sound and listenable. In this case the sound is listenable and maybe only appropriate for big fans or tireless collectors of any sound material. It’s a short concert, 8 tracks plus a sound check and, as indicated on the tape, it is their seventh concert. I won’t write about Back To Zero, I’d rather advise you to go here, where you will find plenty of useful info. Depending on your skills, it’s not too difficult to find the “Your Side Of Heaven/Back to Back” single on the web, the only single published by Fiction Records in ’79. The Your Side Of Heaven song already appeared here (this blog) in the Unicorn Records compilation “The Unsung Heroes”. ..................(Translation: madbarbax). martes, 5 de abril de 2011
