Long story.. I play in a Big Band, we did a studio recording in 1996 and a batch of un distributed tapes has been discovered in our archives. It is not a bootleg, totally legal as we own the music scores.
Would any wammer be willing to transfer a tape to CD please? I don't have the facility to do this.
Of course postage and other expenses will be paid by me!
Thanks in advance , please pm

Hi Trumpetman, Is the tape a cassette or a reel to reel?

I can do that for you. I assume a CDR is ok.

I remember how i did this Andy and why. long time ago mind you. cassette tape and a Aiwa Tape deck Plumbed in to my pioneer PDR509 i was chuffed to bits when i done it . Why i did it .. well 1985 (Falklands war) Mark Allen was in for John Peel and on that show they repeated the 1978 Session Steel Pulse. I wanted to keep that session for ever i liked it so much and I have.

Well done for volunteering your Services Andy. I have a bag of Custard Doughnuts . I feel I should award you with one

Hi Trumpetman, I've finally managed to sort your CD.
I've managed to lose your address. I know it was in the conversation forum but it seems to have disappeared.

Thanks, TT.
I seem to have sent you my copy!
You'll find the first 3 tracks are silent on one of the CDs. I was using it to set the record level.
Just start it on track 4.
I must say for an old cassette, I was impressed with the quality of the recording.
The quality of the musicianship is first class and for anyone thinking of going to one of their concerts, I'm sure you'll have a terrific night.
