| Recorded at the Amstel Free Concert, Amsterdamse Bos, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Very good audience recording. From the info file: Pink Floyd 1971-06-26 Amsterdam, Recorder 2, Marbal 2nd gen (24bit/96kHz) Pink Floyd Amstel Free Concert, Amsterdamse Bos, Amsterdam, Holland, Recorder 2 26 June 1971 Lineage: Sony UX-S 90 2nd gen cassette > *Technics RS-B965-M > Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 > 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 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 77 mins 43 secs This stereo recording is the last tape Marbal received from Rolf Ossenberg in the mid 1990s and it came with a note that it was the “Gong version”. We have no idea what that means. Unlike most of Marbal’s other cassettes, it was not recorded with Dolby. Goldenband provided helpful advice on a couple of minor speed corrections. Marbal’s tape is comfortably the best we’ve ever heard for this recorder. It usually comes off like a poor relation but this one is crystal clear.
