The basic lineage for each file is:
Yeeshkul -> SHN/FLAC -> TLH -> Wav -> Sony Sound Forge 7.0* -> Wav -> TLH -> FLAC 8
*Sound Forge was used as needed to trim each file to remove extraneous applause, tuning, etc. and to add smooth fades in and out.
[ and ] The boundary between these two tracks was changed to be more faithful to the original.

Avid fans who were around in the 1990's probably remember the Total Eclipse boxed set, a 4CD set of rare and unreleased recordings. (Heck, some of you were probably involved in making it.) It was released basically as a reaction to the Shine On boxed set which added virtually no value to most fans. However, over 15 years later a lot has changed. Many of the recordings in the original set have been released officially and new sources have emerged across the board. However, it is clear that there is a large amount of material out there that complements the albums but will probably never be released by the band. Therefore I think it is time for a new fan set that captures the intent of the original Total Eclipse boxed set and improves on it. This set would not be possible without the effort of the innumerable people over the years who have recorded and preserved this music.
Like many fans, I am enthusiastic about the announcement of the series of boxed sets that will include significant amounts of previously unavailable material. In an attempt to avoid overlap with future releases, I have avoided sources that I consider too good NOT to release by themselves. These include:
* BBC sessions from 1968-1974
* September 09, 1969 (Concertgebouw)
* November 21, 1970 (Montreaux)
* March 14, 1973 (Boston)
* June 18, 1975 (Boston)
* May 9, 1977 (Oakland)
In addition, I have decided not to include anything after 1979 because these are already captured very well by existing releases.
I am optimistic that future releases will continue to make the highest quality recordings available officially. However, as exciting as these upcoming releases are, I do not feel that they will tell the whole story. While compiling this set, the original intention was to stick with 4CDs as with the original. However, after reviewing dozens of sources, I felt that this was not enough space to tell the entire story in a satisfactory way and so I have expanded to 6 CDs. Each is designed to tell a different part of the story as follows:
CD 1 - Dawn and Dusk of the Piper (Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett from 1965 to 1967)
CD 2 - A Collection of Great Soundboards (soundboard recordings from 1968 to 1978)
CD 3 - Ummagumma Revisited (an alternate set of soundboard recordings from 1968 to 1971)
CD 4 - Something To Do With A Dream (audience recordings from 1970 to 1971)
CD 5 - Childhood's End (audience recordings from 1971 to 1972)
CD 6 - I Fell On His Neck With A Scream (audience recordings from 1973 to 1977)
Beta Notes:
Because of the scope of this project I want to take the time to get this right. Someone else is going to have to take on the artwork and final mastering. In addition, getting detailed liner notes together will take some effort. Therefore I am releasing this torrent as a "Beta" version. Other discs will be torrented over the next couple of days as time permits. Once feedback starts rolling in, we can talk about what needs to be done to get this project to the finish line.
Additional notes will be posted on Y! as a work-in-progress.
