what shows from 1974 have the muffled / scratchy sounds? I want to check mine to see if I have even done those dates.

Over the last few months they've played February 9, March 23, April 27, and June 1, 1974, and at some point in those SXM presentations there have been skips, pops, scratches, and various muffling effects. It sometimes sounded like Casey was broadcasting from under water.

However, March 23 and June 1 came directly from the original master tapes. If anyone can provide examples of those two shows, I'll check against my masters.

And I have some 1970 shows from Charis that sound, while a little lacking in top end, otherwise airably clean. So it is, as skuncle suggests, not impossible that they could sound better than I gather they do... not sure when you got those but completely redid 1970 in 2011 from all of the original reels. Working through 1971 and 1972 now.

Right now during The Entertainer it sounds like the needle really needs to be cleaned off! Whoever recorded this did a really bad job. gonna say SXM must have really screwed something up, mine's as clean and clear as if sitting in the studio with Hamlisch recording it.

How odd. What are you getting to work with, Shannon? 1/4" half-track? Multi-track?

May I ask about the 7/4/87 (regular) show as well? When XM broadcast the show, they skip a song completely (I think it's #30). Is there anything wrong with the original source or did XM screw up something?

Keep in mind that #30 on that show was Kim Wilde's "Keep Me Hanging On", which was jointly used as a LDD (some gal who finally ditched her on-again/off-again boyfriend that catted around on her). As a matter of fact, in looking at the countdown list, it doesn't appear that any songs were skipped. Even George Michael's "I Want Your Sex" was played (and Casey did say the song title in this show).

To Shannon L: Are there certain years (or segments of years) where Premiere has no master tapes and has to pull the shows from vinyl sources for airing? Are there many shows where the masters are simply gone/lost?

Are there many shows where the masters are simply gone/lost? They can be counted on one hand. The only show SEGMENT that seems to be forever lost and exists nowhere is the third hour of the second show.

My hat is off to Casey and Don, then, for being smart enough to keep the masters; I thought you were remastering *from* the vinyl... You're saying the 1974 vinyl sounds different from the 74 tapes? Or that 74 sounds different from other years? (Why yes, I am an audio geek; why do you ask? ;-)

Today's 1971 show is a vast improvement sonically over last week's 1974 show. Clearly last week's show came from the vinyl, but I'm wondering if someone at SXM made it themselves at home??
