Since then, I've improved my "studio" quite a bit and also have unearthed a few more recordings. There's also been two more tours. I was recently listening to those discs and decided they don't really sound all that great. So I decided to "remaster" all of them and recreate some of them. I think they sound much better. And they are more complete. As to why I ever did this: 1. I love raw live recordings. 2. I wanted just one disc from every tour instead of 10 of each in which the difference between the discs was one song. 3. My fanship of JJ is based largely on his constant innovation and reinterpretation of his own (and others) music. This set reflects that. With special thanks to Jeff, Bjoern, John N., Gert, Maura, Carol, Bladerunner and especially Phillip (hope I didn't forget anyone), I was able to accumulate enough different shows from every tour that I think I had at least one version of every song played. From there, I took the best sounding version of each song and created a master list. From the master list, I took as many songs as I could fit on an 80 minute disc, in order of songs I most wanted to have from each tour. Then, using Sound Forge, I blended all of the songs together so that they sound like one show with no breaks of silence, and remastered each song as best as I could (not everything was salvageable - like "Moonlight" from 1983 - but I put it on anyway because I like the song so much) and balanced the sound levels. I hope you will find it all worth it. It took me about two months to complete the original set and a month to complete this one, but I am very happy with the finished product. Now if only the record companies could have done this for me... As always, these are not for sale - either by me or anyone who receives one. These are strictly for trade and personal enjoyment. I do not take it for granted the legal questions surrounding this and ask that everyone be respectful of JJ and his management and thankful that they allowed me to share this the first time (and presumably this time, as well). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Joe Jackson Tour History Collection 1982-1983 Disc 4-A 01 On Your Radio 02 Another World 03 Cosmopolitan 04 Sunday Papers 05 Look Sharp 06 Fools In Love 07 Target > 08 TV Age 09 Cancer 10 Tuxedo Junction Sources: Tracks 01, 02, 04-08: 12/9/82 - Orpheum, Boston, MA ("In Concert" radio broadcast) Tracks 03, 09, 10: 2/21/83 - Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany ("Rockpalast" television broadcast) Disc 4-B 01 It's Different For Girls 02 "Motown Medley" Uptight (Everything's Alright) > Tears of a Clown > I'm Gonna Make You Love Me > How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) > Heat Wave > Uptight (reprise) 03 Beat Crazy 04 Got the Time 05 A Slow Song 06 I'm the Man 07 Steppin' Out 08 Moonlight 09 What's It All About, Alfie Sources: Tracks 01, 03-06: 12/9/82 - Orpheum, Boston, MA ("In Concert" radio broadcast) Track 02: 2/21/83 - Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany ("Rockpalast" television broadcast) Track 07: 1/22/83 - Regal Theatre, Hitchin, England ("Sight and Sound - In Concert", BBC Radio 1 broadcast) Track 08: 2/12/83 - audience recording, Rouen, France Track 09: c. 1982 - "Countdown", Dutch television broadcast
