This is indeed fantastic news,
As I have reported earlier somehow and regrettably I missed seeing this live in 1972 and only have the BBC RadioTimes page plus two fair cassette tape recordings made for me by a friend of the "stomping" "Farewell To Nova Scotia" (a zillion times better than the comparatively pedestrian version on the La Cave bootleg from 1965) followed by a great spoken introduction to the sublime live Miguel in which Gord said something like "The road was ribbon of Moonlight from The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes" then something about a purple mOOr and an old inn dOOr?? but these were "of necessity" purely Monaural recordings that I will try to upload and make available ASAP."Of necessity" due to the use of a common monaural mains tape machine and Mono television transmission.
I think I am right in saying that back in about 1971/72 the Beeb was just getting around to experimental stereo radio transmisionsion using the new FM radio service for one channel and either AM radio or television audio for the other and that proper stereo television was still a decade or so away.
S o Jim Dan snd Al can you tell if the current repeat is in mono or stereo??
it is now 4:42 am ESTin our morning I will contact my family in Stockport later and try to persuade them to make a digital rcording to pass to me but if anyone has a DVR and can get a file to upload to http://vimeo.com (eitther complete or split if necessary) please do so as Youtube of course has the 10 minute limit although six parts will be much better than none!!
