There will be a slight delay in the start of
this vine. I had planed on announcing it today and taking the first caller. It's
going to be a five disc vine. Two discs for the early show Halloween (31 Oct 81,
Palladium, NYC TTNS), two disks for the late show on the same day as broadcast
by MTV and a fifth disc that will contain some obscure television appearances
that I just obtained this week.
The delay is caused by my personal
dissatisfaction with the audio quality (no bass) on the early show mpeg files.
The video quality isn't the best ether though not bad. Ordinarily I'd be
thrilled to have them just the same but I now have a chance to do better. I got
myself a good capture card for xmas and I've been learning how to use it. One of
our members is making an original tape available to me. I just can't send these
two discs out with the chance that in a few days I can have a better set to
offer. The video quality isn't all that great on the late show ether but the
sound is very good. Besides it's really about the music and I'd rather have a
blotchy picture to go with the music than just the music alone or a good picture
and poor audio quality on the music. The second disc/file from the late show
seems to have a less blotchy picture than the first as well and both have great
sound. Look for the initial offer coming up just day's from now if all goes
well.
