Transferred from the original D.I.R.-British Biscuit radio show reels incl. 
basic restoration by Alessandro Vasserot. 
Restoration (CEDAR Cambridge), mastering and cover design by tom 2006.
A TM/AV Production - trade freely - never buy or sell!

No EAC-cue sheets this time (no intros at all). But I'd recommend to use EAC 
anyway!

AV recently purchased at Ebay-auction the Pre-FM Reels for the elusive 
British Biscuit Aug 15 1976. The reels itself were in a quite good condition 
considering their age, but they suffered from numerous shorter and a few
longer dropouts. So it took a while to fix this manually. This raw version 
(including presenter's introductions and commercials) will be released as 
part of the GRaSP series.
After the CEDAR treatment (mainly noise reduction, phase correction and auto-
balance) we discovered some more minor flaws which could be again manually 
corrected.
Comparing the sound with other contemporary concerts it was evident that the
reels sound lacked in the bass range and the upper mids were over-emphasised. 
Instead of officially released live tracks I decided to use the studio album 
A Trick Of The Tail as sound-reference. This worked fine and a slight bit of 
Retro Exciter (from Ozone 3) gave the needed brilliance on top.

The artwork was done with slight variations from the usual TM Productions
style by using large scans of the original reels boxes. Again, it comes in 
PDF only, so maybe hints for the correct printouts are helpful:
Use Adobe Reader (Acrobat Reader) version 5 or higher.
Print settings: It's very important that "Page Scaling" is set to "none", and 
"Auto-Rotate and Center" is checked!
"Choose Paper Source by PDF page size" should be unchecked!
Some encountered problems with CD-label printing from PDF, so it comes as JPG 
in 600 dpi resolution.
