I'm bored so I decided to take a shot at this.
Does anybody know/have the original Paris La Defense radio broadcast in uncompressed quality? Since 2004 my ears have matured quite a bit so nowdays I can't really stand listening to 128kbps mp3s and the quality of the PLD broadcast is terrible at that.
I remember some people having bootleg CDs of the concert but I have no idea if they had the uncompressed recording or if they were burned from the mp3s...
... but yeah, if anyone has the "original" unraped radio broadcast, please contact me

Indeed, but somebody must have had it on tape and converted for PC at some point. So it might be really hard to find but I also remember a lot of people having those recordings in bootleg CD format predating the Internet so those CDs might have been burned with the original WAVs... or not.
Not to mention once I downloaded some version from Cousteau that parts of Equinoxe 5 and Rendez-Vous 4 from some audience recording but for some reason he never wanted to share the audience recording itself with anyone. Iiiiiinteresting

The best I've done is made myself a 'remastered' version, with the tracks sped up to the right speed and extraneous noise removed.
Don't know who made the original masters though...

I still have the recording of the radio broadcast I made in 1990 on my good old cassette deck.
That said, I have no idea how well the tape has survived the last 18 years.
Maybe I can try to do something...

Same here, please do!
If all goes to plan, we will have 2 recordings here. 1 from Dv_ and 1 from daz.

I'm afraid - for a really good quality recording, we need mister Drypus to have mercy...

The main thing is about quality. I think i'd be great if they'll encode the recordings by flac or ape lossless codec

True, even though WAV would be most preferable to me (shamefully that would be helletic to upload, though).
