Contrast clause:
This version of the Hammersmith Odeon show is from my vinyl source and I am uploading for the benefit of the folks who love vinyl.
The two other versions already on the tracker are:
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=291782 which is from silvers of the '21 Years of Fun' bootleg release and includes songs from the following year's Christmas show, and
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=296419 which is from unknown lineage, but is originally from the BBC Transcription Reels.

I recently picked up this double album bootleg, on vinyl, and decided to transfer to digital. I also have great sounding silvers of this show, but there is something about finding it on vinyl that I couldn't pass up.There are some "pops and clicks", but really not too bad. Reminds me of listening to my albums back in the '70's. If you aren't interested in vinyl's imperfections, then I recommend downloading one of the versions above. Otherwise, this is still a great sounding show from a different source.
