A very good FM broadcast recording, but it's in mono. While the DJ, Bernard Lenoir, talks excessively between songs, the overall sound quality is fine. Clarity varies between songs, with some sounding a bit muffled. To complete the recording, we used the DJ outro from a lower-quality FM broadcast source.

Notes

A very good FM broadcast recording, but it's in mono. While the DJ, Bernard Lenoir, talks excessively between songs, the overall sound quality is fine. Clarity varies between songs, with some sounding a bit muffled. To complete the recording, we used the DJ outro from a lower-quality FM broadcast source.

Source 1 is an excellent sounding pre-FM recording, free of DJ chatter, and with a missing song patched in from Source 2.

There's also a higher-quality master FM broadcast recording sourced from a reel tape available at Source 2, although it's slightly incomplete compared to this recording.

Special thanks to darkdevoted for providing this tape.
