“The Rocket 88 Story: 1978 – 1985” feat. Ian Stewart, Charlie Watts and many more

This is a series of shows provided by nzb to present the story of Rocket 88 - the side project of Ian 'Stu' Stewart and Charlie Watts.
Thanks very much to nzb that provided us his recordings, to Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) who gave critic and advise regarding my work, to my friend Riccardo (MrNo) who participated to a big part of my collection.

(infos taken from The Rolling Stones Complete Works Database by Nico Zentgraf

The intensity of the sound varied so it was necessary to amplify the sound of the first tracks (+1,2db), then a little more (4db), but after track 10 the sound was saturated … nothing to do to in this case! I improved the beginning/end of the cd-r with a fade in/out.
I delete a little gap at 0,2s in “Swindon Swing” and a 4s gap at 3’12 in “Talking About Louise”, a big gap at 3’19 and one in “Shufflin’ The Boogie” at 4’15.
”I Got A Problem” was cut in two parts, so I restored it into one track but a little default can be heard at 2’13.
