Upload Plan - Missing Shows...!

Ok, so...the plan is to offer download links to all the Live and Loud! shows broadcast so far. At the time of writing, Shows 46-57 are up. This is because they were only available on mixcloud for streaming before and never for download. So they're done and out of the way!

Shows 1 through 45 were all downloadable at 1 time. 29-45 were available as 320 kbps mp3s. All those before were only available as they were broadcast - as 128kbps mp3s. Well, I don't know about you but I like the better sound quality... All gigs when remastered by me (almost all, anyway) were saved at 320 - but without intros etc. Unfortunately 1 or 2 were at a lower rate to begin with, as that's the source file I was working from was at. In 1 particular case, the remaster and show has completely disappeared!

So this is the plan:
Shows 29 and 31-45 will be up next as they're all ready to go in the better quality mp3s.

Shows 1-28 will be uploaded with a brief new intro from me in 320 mp3s (except 2) for the first time, in chronological order.

Show 30 (Jean Michel Jarre in Egypt) will have to be remastered - that was the one lost.

Bit of a pain but I want to get them up as soon as possible and this seems the best way of doing it.

The Missing Shows
There are a few gaps:
Show 4 - Duran Duran 1982 - I remastered this a second time as I wasn't happy with the first. This then became Show 12.
Show 14 - Erasure - I got grief from someone who claimed to be working for Vince Clarke's management (at 1 point he faked an email claiming he WAS VC's manager...). After he'd got a copy of the show, of course. Telling me to take it down or face the consequences - so it got taken down. If you really want it, plenty of fans on Erasure forums and FB pages managed to get it before it was taken down, so ask there.
Show 20 - IAMX. This was never available for download as the files were originally made available by IAMX to fans. Seemed safer to never offer this one.

Anyway - 31-45 should be up over the next few days. Feedback has been good so far - glad people are enjoying them!
