"On the Air" is ready.
It's a 2 CDR anthology which contains broadcast material from 1967 to 1972 (+3 live tracks from movies) It don't include the often released tracks from the BBC sessions. I didn't include full shows either.

Few words about this weed:
When I started to work on this anthology, it wasn't suposed to become a weed. But it appeared that this 2CDR set might interest some echoesians, since some of these tracks are quite difficult to get. 

Most of the time, I had 2, 3 or 4 different versions of the same track. I carefully checked these versions to find out which one I though was the best one. I tried to improve their sound quality (I can't count how much hours I spent to do it).

I couldn't find all the tracks I hoped to find. So if you have a broadcasted track recorded from 1967 to 1973 (exept the BBC tracks and full shows) which isn't include in this 2CDR set, please let me know (maybe one of these days I will release a 3rd CDR to complete this 2CDR set)
