DEEP PURPLE
Paris, France, July 9, 1985
"Mk 2 reunion" - Rockpalast
Satellite re-broadcast - (96:25) - Q: A


Explanation:
I know the above mentioned video to be quite common among collectors, yet after a number of searches with different keywords, I've noticed it isn't present in any Dime torrent - even dead ones.
Now, the videos available on the web seem to be either Xvid files, YouTube sourced, or dvds of medium-low quality, derived probably from high generation vhs tapes of the original broadcast. A few of them are incomplete, too.
In the early '90s, a German satellite channel named WDR, rebroadcast the entire show in superior quality, and I've recorded it on a HighGrade VHS, that remained unplayed since, as I'm not a big fan of late DP myself and never received a trading request on that particular item. So the tape is virtually intact.
Today, continuing the process of digitizing my entire collection of vhs into dvds, I noticed the picture/sound quality of this title to be far better than any version I've stumbled across so far. Also, while most VCRs in the Eighties were mono-track, the audio track of this copy is recorded on Hi-Fi mode, bearing a wider frequency response.
I've been thinking to starting an audio torrent as well, but at a closer hearing, I noticed a bit of compression I'm not able to handle; so I'll stick with the dvd alone.
That's all.
