I owe this weekend's Storm Bert a thank you. The shite weather that Bert offered us this weekend meant that I had no excuse not to tackle a task that I have been putting of for years now. When I first got the wherewithall to transfer old bootleg cassettes to CD-Rs I was using CD labels. However, whether it was because they were cheap or whatever, some interaction over time occured (leaching of the inks or adhesive components into the business bit of disc) that rendered many of them unplayable. It took two full days to go through everything, some were rescued by careful removal of the labels whilst for others I had digical versions (often superior remasters (thanks DomP!) on various hard drives.
The upshot is that only 5 or 6 discs were lost and need replacement. I will post the short list soon, if anyone can help. An upside to this arduous task was to unearth some unposted stuff that I had listed but mislaid.
This is one such, The Stranglers in Nice, for the first time since the 'riot'. Hugh makes some cryptic reference to their last visit.
