    Biccio59's Collection Series

    I am pleased to present the birth of this project. They are tapes in audio cassettes coming directly from Biccio59's personal collection. He has recorded countless masters over the years and collected several recordings.
    There are many musical genres, international artists but also italian ones. The shows are from the 80s to the early 90s, mostly recorded in Italy.
    I took care of the digital transfer of the audio cassettes, using a magnificent Denon DRM-800 device just revised. What I present to you is a faithful and unaltered sound, a raw transfer of the original recording. No effect type, filter, equalization has been applied.
    In this series you will be able to appreciate recordings never circulated until now, or in many cases it will be an upgrade compared to versions already circulated but in lower quality.
    A profound thanks to Biccio for having made his precious treasures available: each recorded concert is a unique and unrepeatable historical document, testimony of an evening, of a period, of an era. A time machine that allows us to return as spectators of past events.

    Con piacere vi presento la nascita di questo progetto. Sono nastri in audiocassette provenienti direttamente dalla collezione personale di Biccio59. Egli ha registrato nel corso degli anni innumerevoli masters e raccolto svariate registrazioni.
    Si spazia tra molti generi musicali, artisti internazionali ma anche italiani. I concerti vanno dagli anni 80 fino ai primi anni 90, in maggioranza registrati in Italia.
    Io mi sono occupato del trasferimento in digitale delle audiocassette, usando un magnifico apparecchio Denon DRM-800 appena revisionato. Quello che vi presento è un suono fedele ed inalterato, un trasferimento raw della registrazione originale. Non è stato applicato nessun tipo di effetto, filtro, equalizzazione.
    In questa serie potrete apprezzare registrazioni mai circolate fino ad ora, oppure in molti casi si tratterà di un upgrade rispetto a versioni già circolate ma in qualità inferiore.
    Un profondo ringraziamento a Biccio per avere messo a disposizione i suoi preziosi tesori: ogni concerto registrato è un documento storico unico e irripetibile, testimonianza di una serata, di un periodo, di un’epoca. Una macchina del tempo che ci permette di tornare spettatori di eventi passati.

    Opening and closing with Next To You? Wow, I had never seen that. I've checked the Police Around The World setlists and it seemed to have happened at least 11 times between 1979 and 1980. Surprising!

    I had never understood the band's (or more like Sting's) apparent devotion for Next To You. I mean, I like it and it's a nice rocker but closing all but a few of your Reunion shows with it?
  6. Most times it was more or less a one minute thrash added onto the end of fall out. It's not the strangest event involving 'next to you' that has to go to Bourget, Paris 10 1 1982 when, after being late for the gig due to the weather, next to you made an impromptu appearance as an extra encore.

    Meanwhile 40th birthday of Essen 1980 this weekend so I finally got round to a conversion.

    Wasn't Essen 1980 broadcast? I think I have it in my small-but-ever-growing Police bootleg collection. What is this conversion you talk about?
