Ah, pretty nice version... i must say that this was transferred too loud, and the sound tends to clip pretty easily but it sounds really nice and better compared to the 1st generation i have for this recorder. It has less tunings and audience chatter, but here the brightness and the powerful sound is pretty nice. As i said on the beginning i couldnt do nothing about the clipping, but i lowered the volumes a bit, removed the repeated applauses and speed corrected STC & ASOS which ran fast on the original transfer. I didnt edited the silences/cuts native to this tape i left them as they were, only removed the repeated portions. Pinkrabbit1 didnt know about the generation of this, sounds as a 3rd/4th max.

The Corrosion/Embryo is from 1970-11-14, and it sounds GREAT compared to the T source... Would be nice if a complete source of this version exists. Again as 1971-6-26 this sounds as a 3rd/4th generation at max, listen for yourself. I also ran a tiny speed correction on this track cos it ran slightly fast.

Overall the sound to me is an EX, both recordings sounds pretty well defined, there are some tape turbulences of course, hiss, crackles, and some stuff, but you know the usual. Anyway everyone have their own ratings. If you can stand the hiss it's an EX.

You can get the original version from the Tapecity.org tracker.

Thanks a lot pinkrabbit1 for sharing this gem with us.

cheers
