| Recorded at the Paris Cinema, Lower Regent Street, London, UK. IMO the ultimate version of this amazing recording. From the info file: Pink Floyd BBC Archives 1970-1971 (HRV CDR 007B) Paris Cinema, Lower Regent Street, London, England September 30, 1971 Sources: BBC Transcription LP (Fat Old Sun, One Of These Days, Echoes) 1st gen cassette (Embryo, Blues) BBC Radio One Master Reels* (John Peel intros) *mono 1. Fat Old Sun 2. One Of These Days 3. The Embryo 4. Echoes 5. Blues This is an upgrade of the second disc of Harvested's BBC Archives 1970-1971 (HRV CDR 007) which features the complete 1971 performance. The previous version, which we created over 6 years ago, used the same sources as above except that 'One of These Days' and 'Echoes' were taken from broadcast transcription CDs that were sent to radio stations in the 1980's. Back then I foolishly assumed that this 'new' CD format would yield better sonic results than the vinyl transcription LP that I had. Wrong! This new version features a brand new 48kHz/24Bit transfer of the BBC vinyl (BBC Rock Hour) that was done at a professional recording studio and captured with ProTools. All pops, clicks, and imperfections were manually removed one-at-a-time. No EQing or NR was applied. The BBC only have a mono version of this show in their archives which we used as a blueprint to reassemble this TRUE stereo version. Since 'The Embryo' was never included on the transcription LPs, we used a 1st generation audio cassette recording from a WNEW broadcast and edited it into the show in its proper sequence. We did the same for the improv 'Blues' jam which was also sourced from the WNEW broadcast. Our previous sources: All of Peel's intros + dial = BBC mono masters FOS = BBC Transcription LP OoTD = BBC Transcription CD The Embryo = FM broadcast Echoes = Mostly BBC Transcription CD/Open and close Transcription LP Blues = FM broadcast RevA sources: All of Peel's intros + dial = BBC mono masters FOS = BBC Transcription LP OoTD = BBC Transcription LP The Embryo = FM broadcast Echoes = BBC Transcription LP Blues = FM broadcast Once again we feel that we have created a definitive version of this show. We hope that you all enjoy it. RonToon, MOB, and Big Ed Harvested Records |
