Downloaded from pinkfloyd DC hub.

No lineage, but probably
cd > cdr(?) > .wav > .shn

Checked with SHNTOOL, and t01 was not cut on
sector boundaries, so files have been repaired.
Decided to re-compress as .flac and generated .ffp file.

notes:

These three tracks were paired on the hub with three
tracks from 1971-06-12 Lyon, which leads me
to believe the original CD was 'Foreign Legion.'
I did not download the Lyon tracks because they
sounded terrible and are available in radio
broadcast quality on FRP 'Broadcasting from
Radio Europa 1.'


The Embryo ends with crowd noise, so it's possibly
from the show instead of the soundcheck. Cymbaline (t02)
starts out with about 1 minute 20 seconds of bass/drum/keyboard
noodling, then after what appears to be an edit DG sings the
first verse (guitar, bass and keybds only) and stops. There's
some communication between the stage and the board(?) then DG
sings some more before fading out. Truly soundcheck material,
and pretty rare. I can't think of any other soundchecks that
have been recorded (pre-1987), so this might be a unique recording.
AHM fades up, and also ends in cheers/clapping, so perhaps it is
another track from the show itself.


From The Pink List
http://www7.brinkster.com/pinkfloyd/view.asp?PKey=1016

The Pink List has a different order, with Cymbaline, AHM, then The Embryo,
which makes more sense, especially if only Cymbaline is from the soundcheck.
This version (not the same as above) is about 29 minutes long.


In The Flesh has this setlist (p. 95)
1. Astronomy Domine
2. Cymbaline
3. Atom Heart Mother
4. The Embryo
5. Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
'Parts of the festival, including Pink Floyd, were reportedly
recorded and broadcast on French TV' - possible source?
