| Recorded at the 1st Open Air Pop Festival, Reiterstadion Soers, Aachen, Germany. Very good audience recording. From the info file: Pink Floyd 1970-07-12 Aachen, unknown gen (24bit/96kHz) Pink Floyd 1st Open Air Pop Festival, Reiterstadion Soers, Aachen, West Germany 12 July 1970 Lineage: Unknown gen cassette (TDK SA90) > *Technics RS-B965-M > Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 > Audacity 1.3 > FLAC (24bit/96kHz) xACT used to create MD5 *The Technics RS-B965-M is a modified deck - for details see the Tapeheads.net forum 01 Astronomy Domine 02 Green Is The Colour 03 Careful With That Axe, Eugene 04 Atom Heart Mother 05 Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun 06 A Saucerful Of Secrets 07 Interstellar Overdrive Total running time 86 mins 38 secs A raw transfer of this unknown gen cassette that I received in 1996. Like many copies of this recording my tape runs slow. I have not fixed the speed, preferring to leave it to an expert to do so. I turned the gain up slightly on the FSP14 for Side B. Atom Heart Mother is louder than the rest of the tape. From listening to this repeatedly to get my levels right, I believe the taper, Ulrich A, adjusted his recording levels each time he stopped his tape. The songs are on my cassette as follows: Side A - AD / GITC / CWTAE / AHM Side B - (slight audience repeat) STC / ASOS / IO It was tempting to remove the repeated audience segment but I decided to leave it in in the spirit of keeping this transfer raw. Lineages for copies of 1970-07-12 tend to be bogus. The late Grolsch confirmed that copies doing the rounds are 2nd gen at best. Grolsch also explained that Ulrich recorded the master on '…a cheap Phillips cassette machine using those terrible yellow Agfa FeCr blanks. When that cassette started to deteriorate, he made a copy to a Maxell udxl 2. I got this cassette as a present in 1987. I sure gave away cassette copies to folks and I may have done one DAT copy for a friend in the UK - that's it.' From my knowledge of the provenance of my cassette, I think it is probably 4th gen.
