| Recorded at the Niedersachsenhalle, Hannover, Germany. Great audience recording. From the info file: Pink Floyd 1970-11-27 Hannover Recorder 2, low gen (24bit/96kHz) Pink Floyd Niedersachsenhalle, Hannover, West Germany 27 November 1970 Recorder 2 Lineage: Sony C-90CR Chrome Cassette > *Technics RS-B965-M > Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 > Audacity 1.3 > 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 Green Is The Colour 02 Careful With That Axe, Eugene 03 Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun Total running time 31 mins 00 secs A high resolution transfer of this recently discovered stereo recording. It would be wonderful if the rest were to surface. Some work undoubtedly needs to be done to fix the speed, etc., but even without this it is a really enjoyable listen and shows enormous potential. Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun ends Side A of Hoka's tape and continues on Side B. On Side A there is a silent passage after a stop button is depressed and the music momentarily re-starts in the right channel before the tape ends. If you listen carefully you can also hear some music that appears to be bleeding through from another tape or reel in the lineage. I considered trimming these snippets out but concluded they could be significant so opted to leave them in. 'T136' and all the other tapes collectors have listed as 1970-11-14 should be re-labeled Recorder 1 Hannover 1970-11-27. The 'T136' reel to reel transfer is probably the source of most people's copies of Recorder 1 from the late 1970's onwards. Tapes back then were typically labeled as Hamburg or Germany 1970. The latter was the most common listing for the date. There was a time when no date for a show from Hamburg at the end of 1970 was known. It was speculated that the tape was from Hannover instead but this did not stick when in the 1990s newspaper reviews, adverts, posters and ticket stubs from the Hamburg show were discovered. A number of old tapers agreed that Hamburg was the most likely source of the recording and everybody fell into line. It transpired that a Deep Purple fan was responsible for the recording and he was able to confirm the correct date. Lord Snooty kindly explained the story of Recorder 1 to me when I corresponded with him last year. This is the third and final part of my transfer of Hoka's compilation cassette. As previously, I would like to thank Pottel for bringing the tape to the UK so I could work on it. Hoka Cassette / Neonknight Tape Transfer (February 2012) |
