Excellent quality FM broadcast audio of a 1991 Swiss radio re-broadcast, edited to remove the radio host and station jingles by using audio of a 1987 Japanese NHK FM radio broadcast, which is sourced from the "Rated PG" bootleg bonus tracks and a freshly remastered version of the second-generation cassette recording of the broadcast. There is consistent sound quality throughout, with very minor radio interference noises occasionally heard, most noticeable during [[It's Called A Heart]]. Most clicks and pops were manually removed. This audio has fewer dropouts, less wow & flutter, and better clarity overall than prior available versions.

Notes

An excellent FM broadcast recording primarily sourced from a 1991 Swiss radio re-broadcast on DRS3. It was edited to remove the radio host commentary and station jingles. The editing process also involved reintegrating small missing segments using a 1987 Japanese NHK FM radio broadcast. These segments were sourced from the bonus tracks included on the 'Rated PG' bootleg, along with a freshly remastered version of the second-generation cassette recording of the same broadcast.

The resulting audio has consistent sound quality throughout, with only minor instances of radio interference noises, primarily noticeable during It's Called A Heart. Clicks and pops have been removed by manual editing. This remastered audio exhibits fewer dropouts, less wow & flutter, and overall better clarity compared to previously available rework.

The following audio was used to fill in the gaps:

  • Black Celebration: intro patched using speed and phase corrected version from "Rated PG"
  • It's Called A Heart: intro patched using speed and phase corrected version from "Rated PG"
  • Everything Counts: first bar of intro patched using second-generation cassette
  • Stripped: intro patched using second-generation cassette

The opening note of Something To Do does not appear in any unaltered broadcasts but is included in commercial releases. At least one radio station, from which a recording was previously available as Source 2, patched it using the opening note from the album version. However, since the audio is only present in commercial releases, it was not patched into this version.

The auCDtectTaskManager results are inconclusive, marked by question marks; this is likely due to the presence of the 19kHz FM stereo pilot tone, which may be confusing its detection algorithms. However, manual analysis of the spectrogram confirms that the audio is lossless.

For further details and lineage information regarding this recording, please consult the Source 2 and Source 3 pages, respectively.

Many thanks to subwave collection CH, dmplus, darkdevoted, Vince, DMRobo, and Robert for their involvement with this production.
