Analog&digital mastering from €30
Level 42 "Live at The Central Hotel" Gillingham 15 March 1981
2023 restoration.
Hi everyone. I'm Tony and it was my father Dave who recorded the gig in 81.
​
He was there with a friend working front of house sound. Mark King needed to borrow a reverb unit. Dad went home to get one and asked to record the gig, on a cassette deck he had conveniently brought back with him.
​
This recording was my introduction to mastering around the year 2000. Mastering has been my passion ever since.
​
Although I´ve re worked this many times over the years, I believe this is the best version, as I addressed the lack of Dolby B decoding from when it was originally digitized and then did further processing.
​
Please share so everyone gets the opportunity to download.
​
Enjoy!

So, 1981 at the Central hotel Gillingham. Pops mate 'H' is doing the front of house sound. Mark King asks if he can borrow a reverb unit, and Dad living close by goes to get one. Also bringing back a cassette deck and asking Mark if he can record the gig.
​
Skip on to maybe 1998-2000ish. I'm browsing through Dad's tape collection and find the recording. He'd never even mentioned it before, so I was a bit surprised.
I then digitized it using the16bit soundblaster card in my p200 :)
