TWIST AND SHOUT07:24 THE AGORA CLEVELAND, OH New from the Bruce Springsteen Archives, transferred from the stereo reel-to-reel tapes via the Plangent Process and mastered at Gateway Mastering. HD files are 24 bit / 192 kHz. Release notes from Toby Scott: I found the seven Agora tape reels in a box that had been returned from the Rock'n Roll Hall Of Fame. The tapes were part of an exclusive Springsteen exhibit “Asbury Park to the Promised Land”. It wasn’t until the request to release this show came up that the tapes needed to be found. Not at Sony, not at Thrill Hill Archives, not at the archiving company. Last known location was the Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame. They informed me what box to look in and there they were, marked with the original indication of speed, tracks and show date. I had the tapes delivered to Plangent Processes for evaluation and transfer, if they seemed to be of adequate quality. After comparison to other copies of this show, this was the best version and potentially the original master tapes. Plangent transferred all seven reels using their unique process, which corrects any speed variations for accurate playback. This eliminates the wow and flutter usually found in the playback of any analog tape. This new transfer to the digital domain was done at 192 (samples per second) with 24 bit resolution. The resulting digital files were sent to Gateway Mastering for evaluation and mastering, as was done to the Box Set Volume 1, recently released to critical acclaim. The resulting new master will give a renewed vigor to the already exciting show.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a show I recorded off of the radio on a cassette. King Biscuit Flower Hour, I think. It was definitely the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland and the set list brings back memories. I played the hell out of that tape back in high school. Some asshole in college permanently borrowed it and I have wanted to listen again for 30 years. Man, that was a great show, even on a cassette recorded from the radio! I assume that it will be available? I can hardly wait! Thanks for the post.

Ahh those radio broadcasts Remember Radio?

I did the exact same as poster above me I still have the cassette / no I did not borrow yours. ..

Bruce will be dropping more of these in the years ahead. I'm thinking he has a pretty full vault to empty out..

It's the live aspect of hearing the recordings that make listing so much fun and I'm sure I'm not alone in being grateful for Wilco streams ..
