There's a really hi-res. version in lossless FLAC format now uploaded to TheBox.bz

TheBox.bz member 'itxlan' says: "I recorded it off air from a 'Folk on 2 - Special' in 1982. It was recorded onto stereo TDK metal tape - the best available at the time - and it's very clear (although there's some tape-hiss that can easily be ignored in preference to the effects of noise reduction filters)."

Apparently 'itxlan' mentioned this hi-res. recording to Peter Bellamy at a gig, and Peter said "could he have a copy since he only had a low-res. version." Unfortunately Peter passed away before this could be done. The hi-res. version has been uploaded in Peter's memory.

For those with TheBox.bz access it is here:

The files are in lossless FLAC format and are about 292MB in total. I'm trying to think of a way to upload them to Mediafire.com or Rapidshare.com
