Mainly...hope and dreams, unfortunately.
Any idea where these tapes are stored?Here is the list of shows that Ken Rasek recorded while working for radio stations in the Chicago
area. Some of the date and venue listings might not be completely accurate, as he did so many
shows during that period of approx. '75 to '85. While Ken is known mainly for doing mixing for
XRT, he worked for many Chicago area stations during that time.
Some quick bullet points for the XRT broadcasts-
First encoded broadcast: Ellen McIlwane, June 76(QS)
First SQ broadcast: Joan Armatrading, August 76
End of (new) SQ broadcasts at XRT: Dec. 79, when Ken left XRT
Unless otherwise noted, Ken recorded to 4 track and made SQ stereo encoded tapes for the night
of the broadcast. Most but not all of the rebroadcasts of Kens shows have been remixed from the
4 track tapes to straight stereo.
There are a few exceptions to this, with the LUP broadcasts as being a good example, where much
of them were broadcast live in SQ stereo.
If you can provide any additional info such as missing performance date or correction and
the broadcast station with the format of the broadcast (SQ, QS, Stereo) this is the place to do it

Antkoot,Any idea where these tapes are stored?
Or who stores these tapes?
I agree with some here: those tapes must be public somehow!
maybe store them digitally at archives.org would be a beautiful thing?
Vinylguy4, the Son Seals record is supposedly SQ encoded, however the image is a little narrower than the mix that was done for the radio (at least that is what Ken told me a couple of years ago). If you find the Son Seals bootleg of the radio broadcast it is a little more noticeably SQ, although not nearly as clean as the legit cd. Also, there seems to be some added eq on the cd, which would corrupt the encoding a bit.Son Seals - Live and Burnin' Alligator ALCD 4712 CD/LP
I have this one on LP, used the surround master in SQ 4.1 mode. It did not sound like an SQ recording to me. Tried QS, was better but did not sound like QS either.
Tribby, on the bright side Ken usually used TDK tape which tends to be a much less problematic with sticky shed than a lot of other brands of tapes.I hope these tapes are being stored properly and are, or have been, transferred to digital.
They'll soon be turned into flakes and dust soon enough.
I checked a track of my cd last night. It is SQ, however the transfer used for the CD is kind of unstable and doesn't decode well. Wonder what kind of setup Alligator used to transfer the reel. It could be made to decode with a bit of work.Yow !!
That's a big bummer . I'm hoping my ordered disc turns out to be a quad version.

No prob. It'll take a little time to dig out the cd, as I have only the files on my compooter.Just so I know we're on the same page...Could you post a pic and provide an album number of the CD ?
Fizzy, sorry for the delay. here is the cd cover as well as the catalog number on the disk. Like I mentioned, this one isn't "plug and play" as the audio is pretty unstable. I wonder if the LP version of this would be different, as I expect they were mastered at different times in different places?Just so I know we're on the same page...Could you post a pic and provide an album number of the CD ?
