MONTREAL (Le Club Soda)
Frankenstein Production n°45

29th October 1989: Montreal, Canada, Le Club Soda
Line-up: MT (gtr, voc)/Blondie Chaplin (gtr, voc on 'Semolina')/Joel Diamond (keyb)/Wilbur Bascomb (bass)/Eric Parker (dr)

Jaap and I had the same version: only one half of the show (as if we had only the first CD of a double). On Traders Den the uploader Whotrader recently posted an almost complete version of this show (“Goin’ South” was cut in two parts and circa 1 minute was lost).
Then nzb sent me his version: it’s an alternative source, with a better sound but a little saturated and also incomplete. In particuliar the end of “Stranger In This Town” was missing. It also ran too fast (around 4,6%), about half a tone too high.
So I decided to make 3 versions for this show (because I like it so much!)
I lost the initial textfile with all the precisions of my “rework”: here I tried to recreate what I remembered!
- 1st with nzb’s version upgraded: I completed it with segments of the 2nd source at the end of tracks 05 and 09 and with 1 minute at the end of track 10. I reduced the bass but added a little more high tone and reduced the speed with 4,6%.
- 2nd with Whotrader’s version upgraded: I added a little more bass and in particuliar high tone and I reworked the transitions between the tracks…
- 3rd a mix of both sources: on the left channel is “nzb’s source” and “Whotrader’s source” is on the right… For the synchronization I “worked” by little segments (maximum 1 minute) because the recorder’s speed was not constant: of course I succeeded only with the parts that were on both sources! For example this is why here “Goin’ South” is also cut in two parts. On this I did spend a lot of time so I hope that others, like me, will appreciate the final result.

A big thank to Whotrader and nzb who allowed me to use their files and to my usual partners in crime nzb and Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) who gave critics and advise regarding my work.
