Les;<BR>Join the group, I've been trying to find old fights for ayear, they just don't seem to exsist. I know they recorded them because you can see the NBC mic in many old films.<BR>A side note, I remeber listening the that fight on my first tube radio LIVE.<BR>I would love to have those fights, but nothing to trade for.<BR>DAN<P>------------------<BR>

A lot of the old fights were broadcast live by relay, hence the microphone. They weren't necessarily transcribed.<P>------------------<BR>Richard <BR><A HREF="http://www.dressner.com/radio.htm" TARGET=_blank>www.dressner.com/radio.htm</A>

Les,<BR>I have an original copy of the Clay-Liston fight from Feb. 25, 1964 but I'd have to search to find it and I couldn't guarantee the quality of the recording. I recorded it from WXYZ radio in Detroit on a real low grade reel to reel tape. If you want I'll search for it check it and if it's worth copying I will put a copy on a CD for you.<BR>Denny <P>------------------<BR>

Les,<BR>I found the tape...I listened to the last song Lee Alan "on the Horn" played by the Beetles and the beginning with Howard Cossell and it sounded pretty good. It wasn't a very long fight so hopefully the rest of the recording is at least as good. I'll check it out later today. Let me know if you want a copy if it turns out to be a decent recording and we can contact through email for address to send it to.<BR>Denny <P>------------------<BR>

Hi Denny,<BR>That would be great. I sure would appreciate that.<BR>Let me know and I would be happy to pay you.<P>Dan,<BR>The fights are out there. I thought I would ask for a swap here first before I contacted another source that has some. The plan is to compile a disc of old matches and then make an offer like Dennis did with the "War of the Worlds" CD.<BR>I have a few other fights as well that I am trying to get DL'ed but I need to get a different account on SL before I can.<P>------------------<BR>Les

Les,<BR>I don't want anything for the recording except that you enjoy and get a kick out of it and possibly some of the other members of the ARF. I'm recording it into the computer as I write this. I recorded the fight with a microphone because I just bought a new stereo console at the time and it didn't have provisions for tape out. If you have REAL AUDIO I can give you a sample of the quality of the recording. Let me know and I'll email you a sample of the recording. It sounds great through my computer speakers to me.<BR>Denny<P>------------------<BR>

Hi Denny,<BR>Great,Thanks for taking the time to do all of this.<BR>I do have Real Audio.<BR>The plan would be to add this fight onto a Disc with the other fights and offer it free to others...as soon as I get enough fights to make it worth it.<P>I tried finding your email but don't see it in your profile?<P>------------------<BR>Les

Hi Denny,<BR>Email right back at you.<BR>Thank you<P>Hi Dan,<BR>I am an avid Boxing fan so coming across these old matches is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for me and I hope to others as well.<BR>As soon as I get a complete disc done up I will post it here. If things keep going smoothly it shouldn't be to much longer. <BR>I'm also a fan of Jimmy Braddock so I will have some of his fights on the disc as well.<P>------------------<BR>Les
