Anybody who has as I have for sometime hankered after at least hearing the Skip Weshner tapes (especially after Mende Joveski's Your Song teaser a while ago see
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showpost.p...13&postcount=6
(It appears that his mp3 is no longer available on the limited time file storage website he elected to utilise)
Thos who have not yet heard the 4 CD's worth of off radio recordings will be pleased to hear that a complete set of High quality lossily compressed mp3s (sampled at the highest rate of 320KBPS) is available for download at rapidshare the links and contents of the 4 CDs are listed at:-
http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f90...fm-133639.html
Alternatively those who can manipulate a torrent or who want a perfect losslessly compressed file set will find a new entry at
http://www.dimeadozen.org
In accordance with Dime's rules those files are in "FLAC" (Free Lossless Audio Codec) format the good news is that flacs may be played in Windows Media Player after installing the free K-lite Codec pack from:-
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...Codec_Pack.htm
and/or burnt to an audio CD using Express Burn which will itself convert them (and can also be set to produce a "continuous" CD with the gap between tracks set to zero
When and if you avail yourself of this opportunity you will be able to hear a pair of unreleased "songs" in addition to the aforementioned "Your Song" these being
"The Seabird Song" and a brief snatch of "The Doomsday Song" ( the latter both sung by Gord and recited by him)
also featured is another unreleased song called
"Take It Or leave It".
A further alternative is to simply listen to the lower quality streaming version also now available on sugrmegs
