Turin: radio broadcast taped

This is an archived legacy thread. Replies are closed, but the discussion is preserved.

I've been asking for the Turin concert, which is obviously very important for me, but nothing surfaced so far. I'm sure a copy of the gig on digital format exists, since EGG appeared on the NewOrderOnline.com forum, but it seems that nobody could get it, or wanted to share with me. Anyway a member of an Italian mailing list wrote that the Italian national radio station RAI Radio 2 broadcasted "a New Order concert" while I was on holiday, but no other info was available, not even on the archived pages of the radio site. I just hoped it wasn't Turin, since missing it would have been such a disgrace, I hoped it was something already broadcasted in other countries, like the Brittany concert. Anyway another member wrote it actually was the Turin concert! BUT the miracle happened and she taped it!!! Unfortunatley it's not the whole gig, less than one hour, because the Radio channel uses to edit the concerts when they broadcast them. Still, better than nothing. Tomorrow evening she should give me a copy of the gig. Unluckily I can't transfer from the tape to a digital format, because my stereo has no audio exit. But I can copy it for everyone asking me via E Mail. But before doing that I'd rather see if there's anyone who can make that copy available in digital format. So if anyone can do it please tell me and I'll send the tape to you. You'll then convert it to digital format and record it to a CD and record the CD to others who will record it to others etc.

BTW excellent work on the new message editor I see only now... :thumb:

This is an important update (hoping that anyone is interested):

I've received a kind offer from someone willing to do the recording the CD from the tape, but I have to forward to the forum some bits of what I've just written to him.

I've just made a copy of the Turin radio tape and of course meanwhile I've heard it. I'm rather disappointed though I know I shouldn't expect more and I'm still really happy to have it. I understand that this bootleg could be of no interest if not for very hardcore fans and of course for those of us who were there. In brief, sound quality is not so good (some radio and tape noise, low volume etc.), even for a taped radio broadcast, many songs are missing (yes, including EGG!), the stupid DJ talks every two songs and LWTUA is broken in two segments by the end of Side A. And the setlist order is not respected. Overall should be 50 minutes. More importantly A LOT of audio editing should be made on this tape and I'd like to know if you can and want to do it before doing the CD. We won't have the perfect bootleg, but the quality of this recording can be much, much improved with some audio editing (and EGG can be added from the MP3 surfaced on the web) so I'd need to know if you wish to do it or if you can recommend anyone else who can do it. I'll send the original recording to the one who'll do the audio editing because I think I have some problems with my copy (even lower volume on Side B, and maybe slightly faster speed). Please save this info for when you'll do the job, if you wish (if you don't I'll copy this to that kind soul who will want to do it, as I'm not really able to touch any audio editing software... I know the best thing would be the one who has the whole bootleg shares it but apparently it's not going to happen, I don't know why, but it hasn't happened so far...):

I'm sorry, this is what we have. To add insult to injury, the track list must be re-ordered. We can also add the MP3 file of EGG which was available on NewOrderOnline.com Of course I haven't recorded it on the tape as we already have it in digital format (I would be amazed if you don't have it, but no problem I can send it to you via E Mail)... also there's space on the tape to add it if we wish anyway... That file has a good quality and will enhance the bootleg.

[...]

With a very hard work we can have a nearly decent CD to hear some of the best tracks from the concert, it's more like a compilation of a radio broadcast of the concert than a proper bootleg, but better than nothing...

[...]

At the moment sending copies of the tape as it is to anyone else would be rather useless (also because apparently my tape recorder doesn't work well as it used to be last time I used it years ago). I just want to send the master recording to the one who'll do the editing... the others will have the edited CD.

...Of course here I add what I forgot: if nobody will do the audio editing he'll do the CD and it will always be better than tape copies... I'm listening to a copy made from a copy and I'm now absolutely sure copies come with faster speed... I'm really sorry I can't offer anything better, but this is what I got, and it's the only thing surfaced so far apart from the MP3 of EGG... Thanks for your patience.

Final update until the CD is available, then I promise to shut up! ;) Sorry for the multiple posts, but I've just quickly received a kind reply: sorted for the edited CD. I'm going to send the tape on Monday, we just have to wait for him to receive it and do the job. Then you'll know it and you'll just have to write us and it'll start to spread... :thumb:
