Hey gang, I've finished mastering & digitally cleaning up my recording from that show, and I must say, I'm fairly pleased with the results.

If you would like a copy of this show, here's what to do:

1) Email me offline at markgugs@hotmail.com - please put "Testament recording" as the subject so I don't auto-delete you.
2) Please review the illustrated guidelines for B&P (Blanks & Postage) at www.mcnichol.com/bnp
3) Once I reply to your email with my mailing address, I will ask that you send 2 blank CDRs (1 for your show, 1 for me) + return postage (a single $.37 stamp will cover it)

Any questions?

A little off-topic, but you wouldn't happen to be related to a one Mr. P. Guglielmo, who teaches earth science at Clarkstown South High School, in lower New York state(not the city), would you?


Anyway, I'll probably hit you up for that show eventually, all out of blanks at the moment though.

I don't understand what you mean here.

SharingTheGroove is an entirely LOSSLESS music-spreading website; no one with 1/2 a brain goes there looking for MP3s.

To answer a few of you...this show is already in the process of being torrented at STG, with complete artwork ta boot. Most likely by tomorrow or Tuesday. You can also look for Vital Remains as well, for the brutal death metal fans out there. Also, it's going to be in APE format. Why? Because that's the format I like. :)

FYI, if you're not already familiar, you'll need www.monkeysaudio.com v3.97 to decode the files and/or listen to them via WinAMP. APE is also not very user-friendly for MAC users, but c'est la'vie.

yeah~~~~~~~~~STG thanks a lot man!!!:worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:
 
Good show, really good recording. Give it a strong A. I'll give more comments when I listen to it a couple more times.

I would open a window, but after I figured out how to decode it, I deleted the transfer files as I didn't know I needed them. I did leave my window open for awhile when I was trying to decode them, I hope I helped someone..... I'm sorry, I didn't know what I was doing, and no one answered my post on torrentstorm, so I was going on a wing and a prayer.
