Many thanks to KRW CO for encouragement in finishing this project.
With the Joe Maloney master already having been posted of this show, do you need another version? Here's my take on this. This recording was made in a much closer setting to the stage than the Maloney master was, so overall it has the potential to be clearer. It's not as well-balanced a mix, but the vocals and stage talk are much easier to hear.
That having been said, although distant the Maloney master is very clean sounding, while this recording is not always and never as much. The Maloney master has one more track "Bitter's End", which does not appear on this two-record set despite the fact that you can't hear a cut. Where the tape flip occurs is also in a very different place. Also, the instrumental opening number is shorter as the very beginning is cut on the LP set.
All of this combined means that you probably do need both versions of this show. Listen to the mp3 sample!
This set ran incredibly slow. The pitch correction on my turntable was +5 out of 8 possible. That's a whole lot. Additionally on the second LP there were ten minutes of Eno from the BBC in 1972. This has been removed as I did no research on the two tracks (Baby's On Fire and I'll Come Running) and the sound quality was dreadful.
And, there you have it!
