Nice upgrade over the MoLM release. This one is raw from tape and sounds louder
and much more clearer than MoLM's. Also, this one has the genuine Us & Them which
on the MoLM source is patched from the 77-1-23 concert. Only bit missing it's the
very end of Dogs, which is missing the last final hit, but it's not a cut, it
just missing the hit like a little edit, the song never stoped if you know what i
mean.

Also, there's a tiny portion repeated of PotW pt2 which i left it as it was on
the tape. This same cut and repetition is on MoLM's source too.

Pigs 3D0 has an inner fade in/out because of tape flip.

Has the same cut/fade on SOYCD 1-5, but here the cut/fade is on a different point
so here you have actually more seconds of performance that are not on MoLM's
release. Also when this fade/cut occurs and resumes, the sound changes clearly
and to me the speed goes a bit faster than the rest of the recording, This cut
and sound change also occur on the MoLM source and other tape transfers i could
check, so might be native to the master maybe. SOYCD 6-9 has some little inner cuts.

I wasnt expecting too much of this but i was wrong, it's really nice, this one is
hissier but here you have all the highs that are gone on MoLM's release. Sound
could be an EX-. -gbc
