While doing some research I found another version of this performance. That was sourced from an unofficial release on vinyl which has now been converted to a silver CD. This is from my master "Off the Air" tape recording and has never been shared before.

Performed balance and volume adjustments as required. Converted to 16-44 for CD burning archivists.

Loved the sound of this Phillips tuner. Punchy and excellent stereo separation so no EQ needed.

Frequency analysis reveals the standard FM broadcast roll off including a spur at 15.734 kHz. This was a by-product of the recording equipment and would not be audible to most people. A narrow band notch filter was applied to reduce the amplitude so it is now inaudible to young and old ears.
