Alan (who is doing this beautiful job) said that he will have enough of the tracks mastered to make a sampler by the end of the day! Remember, he's had to take both my tracks AND the rips sent to me by Techboy, fix them up, and merge them (among other things!), so your patience is greatly appreciated!



Can you clarify a bit further the source of the tapes that are your dad's?



Also sorry to hear about the bad news, but I so hope you deliver! Can you clarify a bit further the source of the tapes that are your dad's?Also sorry to hear about the bad news, but I so hope you deliver!

Gladly! The tapes were given to him by his Danish friend, David. He was clearing out his cassette collection, and told my father they were some of his favorites, but he had already transferred them to CD. Knowing my father still used tapes (he was in a band at the time, and had some very good audio equipment), he gave to him. Fast forward some years, and my dad gave them to me after he transferred them to open-reel (which is being sourced.) I never thought anything of it until finding this board and meeting Mark and Robin last year, and discovering that they were pretty hyped. I've always just enjoyed the music, but I've heard some examples of the lengths some fans would have taken to secure a copy.Initially, I thought about selling them, but they mean too much to me personally. Thank you for your concern! Mind you, the tape is old Maxell. It had to be baked before even being used (that was fun.) The quality however, will be superb thanks to the compiling of pre-existing rips from Mark. Therefore, since this is a mesh, consider it what you want. Master/Remaster/Salvaged/etc. The only thing that will remain unaltered is the HQ scans, which I have already shown to a few friends on this forum.Regardless, I have never heard the songs this good sonically! Alan has sent me a few proofs, and they are fantastic so far. I really do appreciate the generosity of this forum, and I sincerely ope you will all be pleased enough to donate. This whole endeavor is about my father, and I'm trying to give to the community so I can provide for him.
