Show 204 - Magazine - Live At Festival of Fools, Melkweg, Amsterdam - 8 June 1980

 

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
A short high quality set from Magazine, recorded from a stereo FM broadcast from the time. I think from the same broadcast that the Human League restoration of their set at the same festival came from (albeit a very different taper source).

What Was Done
There were quite a few dropouts to fix on the left and right channels (and never on both at the same time!). The right channel was rather louder than the left too, so that got fixed too. Fixed the start and end so they faded in and out gently, then go to work with the EQ and the usual studio toys to bring some clarity to the sound mix. Finally, I mastered to make it clearer and more powerful and less flat. The result is a nice and clear recording, very enjoyable to listen to.

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 helps helps me do more shows. Either way, enjoy the show.
