OU Notes:
In its original incarnation, it ran quite fast. I slowed it down to A=440 in March 2003 and reposted it to the same lossless groups. In doing some research on the net in preparation to torrent it, I discovered a Russian website selling mp3s of my Usenet post! The uncorrected version is still being traded and has been torrented elsewhere and on TTD as recently as 01-12-08 by Dylan (now inactive). I haven't found any reference to the remastered edition being torrented. Before sending it in, I opened up the .wav files from my backup CD-ROM in Audition 3 and ran automatic phase correction on the lot, then resplit the tracks on sector boundaries, and converted to FLAC with TLH. Revised artwork is included, to indicate the new track times and the additional step of phase correction, otherwise it's the same as the previous artwork (which is still out there on the web, too - both versions). This is a really nice show. Harry is funny and engaging as usual, and uses some language that must have been bleeped in the broadcast!
Note: Track 1, which is mistitled "God Babe, You've Been Good For Me" on the back insert, is actually called "All The Ones I Counted On Are Gone."
RIP, Harry.
Enjoy!
