Hi hatters!!!

 Perhaps you can help me !?

 Do you know about any existing Live Videos and / or Video Compilations
 of our canadian friends ?
 Perhaps you could tell me an adress where I can purchase these things.
 It's nearly impossible to get MWH Stuff in Germany.
 I got 'Pop Goes The World' and '...In The 21st Century' last month (you
don't believe it, do you?).
 I got 'Rhythm Of Youth' and 'Folk Of The 80's III' since 1983 / 1984.
 Bought 'Pop goes the World' in 1987 and lost it somewhen in '90 (How could
this happen...)
Never knew about the existence of '...In The 21st Century' and  'Sideways'.
Thanx to the Internet and The MWH Sites !!!
Seems as they have never been released in Germany.
Still waiting for 'Sideways', ordered 2 month ago (so let's wait another
month. ...or two, or three ???)

Is there a live-version of 'Walk On Water' availible somewhere ?
 (One of my favourites after 'Safety Dance', 'Where Do The Boys Go?' and 'I
Like'.


Thanx in advance...

 DAVE

P.S.: Hope my english is not too bad...

I just heard them play "Chain Reaction" on CHUM FM here in Toronto, maybe
this one will be a big hit for Ivan, who knows.

Subject: (hats) CDs 6 & 7, new Ivan video

Hello Hats fans,

I wanted to explain why there is a delay on CDs 6 & 7.
The guy who is remastering the CDs is VERY busy.  I am going to tell you
all why we need to wait on him though.

1.  I do have the original CDs here.  I have made duplicates and sent them
to another listmember as a backup, just in case. So there is no dire need
to rush them out.  They won't go anywhere.

2.  This guy is using a studio and sound engineer to remaster the CDs
     I don't think we can do any better than this.

Why do the CDs need remastering?

These CD concerts have no post-production done to them whatsoever.   These
are RAW soundboard concert recordings.
This means that the CD must be EQed.  The sound is very clean, but it is
also VERY Midrange heavy.  The highs are there, but they need to be boosted
with a digital EQ (no loss in quality).  This is a must.

Also the mids need to be turned down.

There is also some dropouts on the tape.   This CD will still be from the
second generation DAT.  Digital -> Digital -> digital so we won't be
messing up the recording in any way.

The sound guy is by NO means going to do any dehissing or anything like
that.  We aren't going to screw up the sound in any way.

I am just worried that if we stick this CD on Richard's site today.
Then people will be satisfied with the sound quality and just assume that
it sounds like that on stage, which it doesn't.
The pots on the board are adjusted for stage and not CD understand?

The sound quality is going to be around the same quality as the Toronto
CFNY show.  There is occasionally even less hiss than that at times.  Other
times there is more hiss.
I think this 1984 tape deck was adjusted either too high or too low (hiss)
at times during the show.  But I am told by "someone" that this is one of
the best soundboard recording he's heard from an analog cassette from this
long ago. :0

Well,
What do you all think........

Should we do a downloadable version 1 of the CDs for the time being, or
wait for the remastered ones, which will sound 50% better ?
