From the info file:

Pink Floyd - 1971-10-16 - Cosmos Topper - Raw Speed Corrected 1st Gen Tape 2496
Civic Auditorium - Santa Monica, CA, USA, October 16th 1971

Show Source: Audience
Taper: Al
Recording equipment and Mastertape: Unknown
Transfer: 1st gen TDK SA-90 > Sony TC-WE475 > SB X-FI Platinum > Sony Sound Forge 8.0 @ 24/96 > TLH

This is the speed corrected, otherwise raw 24/96 transfer of the 1st gen tape used to make MQR 010 'Cosmos Topper'.
The Tape ran severly slow and was speeded up by 0.98 semitone.
There was a 60 Hz hum on the non-speed-corrected source present, which was removed for the remaster before the speed correction. This is left in here for maximum rawness. Due to the speed correction it is now slightly higher pitched than 60 Hz.
This can only mean that the master was recorded at wrong speed and the 60 Hz hum came in during the transfer to 1st gen. It also means that the master was not transferred from the deck it was recorded with.
