Not sure how to go about this. Just 'restored' a tape I made of Petula Clark
Live in London from the Beeb. its actually quite a good recording, none of
this squashed dynamic radio 2 do these days. Anyway, can anyone tell me when
this was put out? I need to label the cd!

It was broadcast on Friday Night is Music Night on 15th December. The
year was any of 2006, 2000, 1995, 1989.

Don't know which year, but they all had 15th December fall on a
Friday.

I'm now curious to learn how you know the above! :-)

FWIW I have a number of old radio recordings. Usually I wrote down the date
at the time. But didn't for some of them. Is there a generic way to find
out this info? I'd assumed not.

I'm wondering if the relative lack of level compression implies the
earliest date?

Slainte,

The Hippodrome? That puts it a while back now. The place has been
taken over by a bunch of Christian nutters.

I got my info from a quick Google. It may have referred to a repeat of
course.

According to the BBC website, it was 2006, so maybe the compression
isn't as intrusive as you'd think?

I'll have to pass on that since so far as the Pet Clark is concerned I was
commenting on the basis of what Brian said. Not my cup of tea! :-)

My own recordings extend back to the 1970s. Most are in the 1970 - 1985
period, although a few are pre 1970. IIRC The BBC didn't start using any
systematic automated level compression (as distinct from limiters) until
the mid 1980s.

Slainte,

Friday Night is Music Night!
Gosh, that brings back memories:-) Is it still running?
When I was a nipper it used to be Sydney Torch conducting
the BBC Concert orchestra, with two guest singers - Adele
Leigh was often one of them - plus a military band. The
Coldstream Guards and Royal Signals were always my
favourites:-)

Halcyon days!

Iain, if you want my own opinion - the 'wireless' is still far and away the
best 'entertainment source' of them all!

It was good then (very) and it ain't too bad now - even with the sodding
adverts on CFM, which I hafta say is frequently so sublime in the evening
(different entirely from the daytime crap) almost the entire evening gets
taken over by it!!
