| Recorded at the Assembly Hall, Hunter College, CUNY, New York City, NY, USA. Great audience recording, just a little hissy. From the info file: Pink Floyd 1971-11-05 New York, Recorder 1, unknown gen (24bit/96kHz) Pink Floyd Assembly Hall, Hunter College, CUNY, New York City, New York, USA 5 November 1971 Lineage: Maxell XLII Epilaxial 90 unknown gen cassettes> *Technics RS-B965-M > Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 > Audacity 2.0.3 > FLAC (24bit/96kHz) > Reaper v4.61 > FLAC (24bit/96kHz) *The Technics RS-B965-M is a modified deck - for details see the Tapeheads.net forum xACT used to create FFP 01 The Embryo 02 Fat Old Sun 03 Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun 04 Atom Heart Mother 05 One of these Days 06 Careful with that Axe, Eugene 07 Cymbaline 08 Echoes 09 A Saucerful of Secrets Total running time 2 hours 35 mins 21 secs This is the best copy of this recording I have heard. It seems to be a couple of gens lower than other sources. I transferred all four tape sides at the same level. STC ends side A and continues on B and I left small gap to demonstrate the break in the recording. CWTAE also has an internal cut between sides B and C. The right channel is dominant throughout on my transfer and this is a fair reflection of the tapes. I am grateful to goldenband for his speed correction advice. Several tracks slip around a bit and it was sometimes difficult to correct one part without overcorrecting another. In addition, the band is often slightly out of tune; Gilmour's guitar is a bit flat during Embryo (vs. the keyboards), and Roger's G string is noticeably sharp during OOTD and CWTAE. Every song required a different speed correction value ranging from -0.58 to -4.25%. Cuts between tracks made some of the alterations simple. For the transition between The Embryo and FOS and OOTD and CWTAE I buried the speed change in the applause, and I found a suitable spot in the tuning up before Cymbaline.
