Notes "Crimewatch Revisited- This recording is a compilation of three existing sources (seemingly all from different lineages). One of these sources (source 3 below) is currently available on Dimeadozen.

Source 1: "Crimewatch" silver CD produced in 1992. Bought some 15-19 years ago and ripped (via EAC). Lineage unknown, but excellent quality. I'm guessing from a later BBC FM broadcast than the other two sources, via high quality tape. (I'm sure this has been on Dime at some stage, but I couldn't find any record of it).

Source 2: "Walking On The Moon" silver CD produced 1994. ChrisA (on Dime) had a copy which he kindly ripped (via EAC) and uploaded to me directly. This is from the original BBC FM broadcast that took place five days after the event. Sounds like a low gen (but ageing) tape, with considerable FM noise in places.

Source 3: "LDB Special Series #238". From the same broadcast as source 2 (but by a different taper on different equipment). Higher generation than source 2. All 11 songs from source 1 are included. Five additional songs are taken from source 2. The announcer intro is taken from source 3. All sources were pitch corrected. Source 2 and source 3 were also denoised and EQ'd. The whole show was then retracked, flac'd and uploaded. Basically, this recording is a pitch corrected Crimewatch CD with the introduction and five extra tracks blended into the mix as seemlessly as possible.
