Re: Glastonbury 92

[Rob Fawcett <robhdean@ya...co.uk>]

I hope I was clear that the Beeb has the gig, just
that I don't think it has any additional tracks in the
archive than those originally broadcast.

I don't know if this has been mentioned already but
the set is currently being seeded via bittorrent on
www.dimeadozen.org by someone who recorded if off air
at the time. There's a bit of unpleasant dynamic
compression on the recording, which could have been
the R1 optimod being mis-set, but overall it's a great
recording...
