A quick request. If you plan on downloading this and putting it on your YouTube channel or your own bootleg page - I don't mind. But a credit to this website where you found it and a link back to this page would be really appreciated. It helps me gauge which artists are popular - ie more chance of other restorations coming. Don't just steal it, cut out the intro and outro and take the credit. Thanks.
The Show
An
audience recording - the earliest known of OMD, or Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark as they were more commonly referred to at the time. It was fairly clear but distant. I guess someone had at least applied some noise and hiss reduction. But it was quite "middly" soundwise with no bottom end at all, and not particularly easy to hear most of the sounds.
What Was Done
There
were a few dropouts to fix, and VCL XI unfortunately is incomplete - it cuts off abruptly in the first 2 minutes and there was a big gap before the recording cuts back in before the next song starts, so that was faded out and back in so the sound flows better. Volume was a bit up and down in places - fixed
that. Once that was
done, I got to work with EQ and the usual studio toys to bring some
clarity to the sound mix, smooth out the rough edges, make everything more audible, and then mastered to make it clearer and more
powerful overall, and a little wider (remember this is a mono recording from the audience). The sound is now far better though, and I think makes the gig all the more listenable.

Supporting The Site
If
you want to support the work I do on these recordings, and the site,
and (if you wish to) obtain separate, fully tagged 320kbps MP3s of this
restoration for less than the price of a coffee in return, or lossless
FLACs or even a lossless copy on CDR, head on over to the Rewards For Donations tab
to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the
site costs. There is no obligation to do so of course - you can take the
file on this page absolutely for free - but every single donation does
go towards this site and helps me do more shows and update some of the
software I use as time goes by. Either way, enjoy the show.
