well well well... for years getting the Hyde Park recording was a holy quest, and in the lapse of 2 years, two different recorders surfaced! This new recorder 2 sounds much better than recorder 1, missing Blues/Embryo but having AHM! -which seems genuine-...

Recording sounds really nice compared to rec1, this seems to be recorded somewhat near backstage...you can hear the brass section rehearsing between CWTAE & STC, and you can hear lots of movement of people. About AHM... i checked with all the others orchestra version and this one seems genuine, or at least, never heard it till today. The banter at the end ('thank you... ok... we'd like to do some more but we gotta take our ....' or something) is not present on any other AHM performance....

There's been some discussion about this source being lossy or not.. some people here at Y did a great investigative job on this, (http://www.yeeshkul.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5442) i'd recommend you to go there and search for the thread and read what's been said. (avoid the insults :p)
