Live and Loud! Radio is an occasional series of free downloads, starting January 2017. Radio sessions that never got an official release, sympathetically repaired and remastered and then released onto the internet, all for free.
No theme tune, no intro from me - just the original session, repaired and remastered and available in a downloadable zip file containing each separate track.
Live and Loud! Radio Prog 5: Yazoo: John Peel Session Recorded 16 February 1982
Tracklisting
1. In My Room
2. Winter Kills
3. Don't Go
4. Midnight
The only files I could find online were fairly low bitrate MP3s of a sometimes quite noisy and harsh recording so these were saved as WAVs for working on.
Hiss reduction applied to reduce - but not eliminate - quite a lot of the noise. Each track then had 30 band EQ to remove top end harshness and enhance the lower end - kick drums and bass synths. The middle was then eased down a bit make it clearer and create more "space" in the tracks between the instruments. Sounds far better now. Enjoy!
EDIT September 2018: This session is now being released officially in October 2018 as part of a boxed set, so this page now is for information only. You can check out the boxed set here

Thanks Tomas - glad you've found stuff to enjoy on here! Check out also the Yazoo gig from 1982 on this site, if you haven't found it yet - just look under "Yazoo" in the tags on the right and you will find it!
DeleteMessengers - yes, they were support in 1984 and also played with them on stage 1982-1984. I do have 1 recording but it is very poor quality; I'm not sure I can do much with it. Maybe a better one will come along sometime...
Hello Again Flip.. Yes I would really like to hear How Messengers. Sound Live I Have theirs fantastic 12" Maxi vinyl singles..So that would quite Interesting = Fingers crossed, That you can have any Recording with this Band / And Would that be More Ultravox ?? When Midge Ure is the Singer Like from 1982 -83 or so even 81 then..Anyway..Thanks for your always nice Recordings Here , I really like these alot / Tomas
ReplyDeleteI think it was at 16 June 1982
ReplyDeleteOk - I took my info from the John Peel Sessions website I think. Broadcast in July, so June recording sounds more feasible, for sure.
