Notes |
Recorded at the BBC Paris Cinema, London, UK. Excellent recording. From the info file: Pink Floyd BBC Paris Cinema, Lower Regent Street London, England 16 July 1970 BBC Mono Master Source: BBC sound archive mono master Lineage: Master > DAT > CDR > Soundstudio > Shorten > SHN (also given as: Master > DAT(?) > CDR(?) > SHN) 1. John Peel intro 2. The Embryo 3. John Peel 4. Fat Old Sun 5. John Peel 6. Green is the Colour >> Careful with that Axe, Eugene 7. John Peel 8. If 9. John Peel 10. Atom Heart Mother Comments by MOB: Sound quality speaking, this is the best version of the BBC mono masters from 16Jul70! Absolutely unprocessed ('BBC Radio One Master Reels' seems to have been dehissed a bit and suffers from slight metallic noise in the high end, and the HRV version 'Mooed Music Rev.A' has some NR artefacts), this is superior sound! However, a problem is the speed, much too fast (I compared with the live version of CWTAE on Ummagumma CD, with the studio versions of If and AHM from AHM CD, and with the versions available on BBC transcription CDs, all these comparisons lead to the same conclusion: a 102.5% stretch is needed to have correct speed). Other problem with the SHN files is the existence of micro-gaps near the tracks transitions. This RoIO would be absolutely perfect at correct speed and with micro-gaps fixed. ---------------------------- Micro gaps removed with EAC's integrated wav editor, speed corrected with CEP, tracked with CD Wave and re-encoded with sector alignement to flac level 8 with TLH on Sat.
