The noise in the background is the air conditioning in the British Library listening rooms which is very loud (and the headphones very low). The samples played straight from the tape in the second Stowe radio special don't have that noise.michael_charles wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2023 8:59 pm Why are some people convinced the hum is from A/C? That could be from the motor in the machine. Supposedly it isn't in the snippet that was shared when the tape was found but we don't know how that was recorded, etc.

Re: Stowe School 1963 (Non Label) Taken from the raw tape
I think we established the other day that the pre-release spiel did say that it is the same source but remastered. But how well that comes over depends on the translation you're using.20YearsAgo wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2023 5:18 pmDid the "Non Label" people actually say it was from Raw tape? Or was that inference added elsewhere by others? FWIW, nothing in the artwork provided here suggests that the label had access to the "raw tape." Indeed elsewhere, I thought someone said it was a "Graf Zeppelin" remaster.
The main thing about this version that I can hear is that the air conditioning has been mixed out, and the speed corrected along the same lines as the Goody version. And the missing bits haven't been reinstated (including a missing second or so at 33sec into ASORAB). The EV cd does not have the interuption during PPM so this cd cannot be sourced from that, it must be from the pre-EV raw rip (which is otherwise exactly the same soundwise as the EV cd1).

I love what you are saying, but it hurts my head when you throw out things like "ASORAB" and "EV". My old brain fails to decipher the references.Lord Reith wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 1:12 am

And they STILL didn't fold down to mono...
