| Notes |
| Recorded at the Amstel Free Concert, Amsterdamse Bos, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Great audience recording. This recording sounds a bit 'fuller' than 'Barrett's Revenge'. From the info file: Pink Floyd 1971-06-26 Early Tours LP, Amsterdam Recorder 1 (24bit/96kHz) Pink Floyd Amstel Free Concert, Amsterdamse Bos, Amsterdam, Holland, Recorder 1 26 June 1971 Lineage: First pressing > Micro Seiki DQX-1000 turntable (Denon high-output MC stylus) > Yamaha DSP-AX3200 receiver > Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 > Audacity > FLAC (24bit/96kHz) > Neonknight (see notes below) > FLAC (24bit/96kHz) xACT used to create FFP 01 Careful With That Axe, Eugene 02 Cymbaline 03 Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun 04 A Saucerful Of Secrets 05 The Embryo Total running time 59 mins 54 secs A fine performance and excellent stereo audience recording by the N brothers. It is known that the brothers used a Uher Report reel-to-reel at high speed and two Sennheiser microphones to record Hamburg 1971-02-25 and they probably used the same equipment on this occasion. Preclicktrack received his first pressing of the album - multicoloured sleeve, white text on blue background, excellent print quality, etc. - as a birthday present from a couple of classmates in 1976 or 1977. He kindly sent me his high res transfer to work on. I tidied the recording up a little, ensuring that I took a light touch: 1. Reaper - trimmed dead air at the start and end of each side, export to WAV 2. ClickRepair - automated, declick 20, decrackle 20, x3 method; a non-destructive approach to removing some of the clicks and crackles 3. iZotope RX3 - high quality digital clipping declip at the beginning of CWTAE 4. Reaper - speed corrected STC and ASOS, divide tracks, moved The Embryo to the end and exported to FLAC. Neonknight / Preclicktrack, November 2014 |
