Unreleased Gems of the BBC: Vol 5 and 6 FLAC

This is a complete top to bottom repost- the extraction problems were simply that the file string name was WAY too long so I shortened the folder names so that it worked
Inner cover Vol 5 & 6
A Sgt Weatherman Compilation From various sources some better than others but all the tracks are of a resonable standard. The sources vary from tracks recorded with a microphone in front of the radio's speaker to digital rebroadcasts.
All tracks decoded to wave with TLH, de-clicked and channel balanced with wave Corrector Professional. No NR but I did boost the treble or the volume on a few tracks using Nero Wave Editor converted to FLAC (level 8) with TLH all SBE errors corrected
Thanks to all the original tapers uploaders and traders that made this collection possible.

Some of the files are broken, so the RAR chain won't work, I'm afraid.

Sorry, it's a failure at the Son House,I hope you can mend it:

ok, is it on rs, mega or both?
what extracted properly, what didn't and what was the error message?
I don't wish to sound anal but without specifics it is harder for me to correct and you know that I hate it when I make mistakes.

Both, my friend:

Parts 1 and 10 are faulty. I tried part 10 from mega and then rapid and it's CRC error both times

I've got to say I have a problem too.

1. I downloaded all ten parts from Megaupload

2. I extracted part one from the special RAR and renamed the underscore to "&".

3. I extracted part 10 from part 10 (same name - odd). If you didn't do this you lost the tail end of volume 6 completely.

4. I extracted. WinRar reported lots of duplicate files and also 3 CRC fails. (one jpg, two FLACs). The FLAC fails were tracks 6 & 7 volume 6 (Sonhouse & Tempest). The result was these were missing from the extract.

5. I examine the RAR parts to find out which contained the missing FLACs. I determined that this was RAR parts 8 & 9 and used WinRAR recovery. The recovery files were renamed and extract repeated. This didn't work. The FLACS were reported CRC corrupt.

6. I downloaded 8-10 again from Rapidshare. Oddly enough, If you open the RAR set on part 1 then Vol 6 track 7 appears to be missing entirely. If you open the RAR set on part 10 then Vol 6 track 7 (end of) does appear.

Very strange. To rescue me I need Vol 6 tracks 6 & 7.

Thanks anyway

Hiya

Same as X , tried d/l'ing from both RS & MU , CRC error says Son House, no mention of tempest, both tracks missing when extracted.

Appreciate all your hard work, hope you get round to fixing this sometime

Wow! It looks like you have volumes 1, 5, 6 and 7 here... do you also have 2, 3 and 4 (and 8 onwards) by any chance? Thank you!!

MU links 1-4,6,7 and 9 all currently reporting as temp unavailable, whichever 'route' you use.

All RS ok and complete as at date_time below

A small point....

"Osobisa" - should be "Osibisa"
