February 09, 2022 Neil Lewis 1981 - Magic 92 (NY) Amatuer Hour (Jim Hopkins Remaster)
From the Neil Lewis tape archives.

This was an amateur radioshow that a young Neil Lewis appeared on, in N.Y. 1981. It sounds like it was recorded with a mic on a portable tape recorder. The original recording was very noisy. I was able to remove a lot of the background noise, as well as the motor sound from the tape recorder. I was able to improve the sound with EQ as well.

*Lots of pause button action on this recording, but it's Neil Lewis history that needed to be preserved. It's cool to hear Neil's young voice.

*This recording was taken from a 7" reel, on Scotch brand tape (notoriously one of the top worst brands known for dropouts, and poor longevity for storage , there are some slight unavoidable dropouts thoughout the mix. The original recording was 3 hours in length, but the last hour of the B side had so many severe dropouts that the last hour had to be trimmed off.
