Sound RatingA
NoteContrast clause: This recording is a compilation of three existing sources (seemingly all from different lineages). One of these sources (source 3 below) is currently available on Dimeadozen.

Source 1: "Crimewatch" silver CD produced in 1992. Bought some 15-19 years ago and ripped (via EAC). Lineage unknown, but excellent quality. I'm guessing from a later BBC FM broadcast than the other two sources, via high quality tape. (I'm sure this has been on Dime at some stage, but I couldn't find any record of it).

Source 2: "Walking On The Moon" silver CD produced 1994. ChrisA (on Dime) had a copy which he kindly ripped (via EAC) and uploaded to me directly. This is from the original BBC FM broadcast that took place five days after the event. Sounds like a low gen (but aging) tape, with considerable FM noise in places.

Source 3: A recent Dime torrent, uploaded by metro_cubo called "LDB Special Series #238": http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=315870. From the same broadcast as source 2 (but by a different taper on different equipment). Higher generation than source 2.

All 11 songs from source 1 are included. Five additional songs are taken from source 2. The announcer intro is taken from source 3. All sources were pitch corrected. Source 2 and source 3 were also denoised and EQ'd. The whole show was then retracked, flac'd and uploaded.

Basically, this recording is a pitch corrected Crimewatch CD with the introduction and five extra tracks blended into the mix as seemlessly as possible.
