I'll still post the odd radio show or two, as they turn up in the archives. But, I think I'll gradually turn to a series of master reels that I happened to discover. Each reel was transferred to DAT. Each DAT was digitally dumped to a computer as a .wav file. The .wav files were converted to .flac and then to a series of .rar files. I'll provide you with the descriptions, as written on the original reels. These reels are from a very serious collector & are the sources used for virtually every RoIO from these dates since. I asked a bunch of friends to compare with other released versions of these shows. We found that these versions are almost always slightly longer (more audience noice and longer pauses between songs - the kinds of things that are cut for commercial RoIOs) and have better audio spectra than other versions. In other words, even if you already have these shows, you'll want this version. As suggested above, I have done absolutely no editing, sound adjustments, or other manipulation.
DAT recorders can record in different sound quality levels. Again, you get exactly the quality of the original DAT tape. This means better-than-CD for most of them.

I should also probably tell you that there's a little bonus weirdness on the very, very end of this one... But, I honestly have no idea what it is. If you should happen to know, please leave a comment!!

Dr.,
Is there anyway Part 10 of Master Tape 1 can be uploaded again (rapidshare deleted it). All the other links worked, unfortunately its an all or nothing deal with these files since they are one giant file.
Thanks so much for this blog, it is a godsend. I'm trying to download as many of the master tapes between now and the new year before most of these files are deleted by rapidshares new policy.
Best,
Judd, NYC
