Lush- KCRW Snap Live in Studio, Santa Monica Ca 12/7/90 xfer f/1st gen audio cassette Miki Berenyi

I forgot I had this one. It was one of those late era audio cassette trades, after I traded DAT only with rare exception. A live lush KCRW session is definitely a good reason for an old school tape trade. Unfortunately, the interview with Deirdre O’Donoghue (one of my favorite hosts) was edited out. Live songs only. It’s a little overdriven on the high end, but that’s kinda how Lush were back then. I recorded them a few days before this and holy high end saturation! I still need to hook up the DBX unit and do a proper transfer of that one.

Natalie Merchant- KCRW Snap Live in Studio and Interview, Santa Monica Ca 12/28/88 high gen tape

Alright, 2 early ones for you today. This first one is probably the highest generation tape I have ever posted. From what I can see online, there are no good copies of this one. It was so sped up from high speed dubbing that I time stretched it by 12 PERCENT and it still sounds a little fast to me. Izotope did a nice job of de-hissing it. It’s as good as it’s gonna get.

Long interview w/Natalie and Deirdre O’Donoghue, plus Natalie on piano. Really cool performance. Sounds like the first time “eat for two” was performed.
