There are regular crackles and this recording is by no means perfect but it is a fascinating discovery because it is different to the usual simulated stereo version. Throughout John Peel’s dialogue you can hear audience muttering, clattering and banging that is not normally there. It’s nothing extraordinary but does confirm it’s a different mix to the mono master. It’s a mystery why the BBC left the ‘room’ in this version, while removing it from the mono master and the stereo transcription disc used, most notably, by Harvested.
This was one of Kbrubaker’s first tapes. He probably purchased it in 1978 but there's a slim chance that it was from early '79. It came from a seller who advertised a tape list in the back of a music magazine. This seller only offered a few Pink Floyd tapes and Kbrubaker does not recall his name or location, unfortunately.
KSJO is a commercial radio station licensed to San Jose, California, and broadcasts to the San Francisco Bay Area on 92.3 FM. It currently airs a country music format branded as Nash FM 92.3. It was a rock station throughout most of the 1970s.
The Realistic cassette has a gold and red cover and boasts of how it has a “new advanced formula” - “low noise, high frequency, tensilized polyester tape”. Nice!
My thanks to goldenband for his speed correction advice. I applied a correction of +1.15% to bring it up to pitch using Elastique 2.1 Pro. No other changes were made to the recording.
