This was a live broadcast and not broadcasted a few weeks later as I posted here in this forum two days before. The radio station advertised the live broadcast before and
for this reason I programmed my stereo video recorder which had a timer (my dat deck at home did not have a timer or I did not know how to use it). For this reason I can
only offer a first copy and not a master. I hope this version will be an upgrade for some of you.
Listening to the recording I cannot here any difference to a master recording. The sound quality is really good.
The speaker introduced the recording and a second speaker overdubbed most of "Pride". I did not cut the comments out because those comments show you that it was a simultaneous
broadcast and not a pre-recorded one.
Unfortunately the radio station only had permission to broadcast half an hour.
First transfer and upload in March 2010.
