Notes


This is a recording of the Rolling Stones in Frankfurt, West Germany, October 6, 1970 from a trade CDR. It is incomplete, missing both the beginning and end of the concert. Quality is VG to VG+, and the recording is true stereo, the only stereo recording of 1970, and the second stereo audience recording known after Detroit 11/24/69.

The recording starts off a little rough as the tapers adjust levels but once it settles down it's fine. I had to copy and paste from channel to channel a few times at the start, so those bits are mono. This is the same recording as VGP-238, "The Legend of 1970," but noticeably better. DAC-016, "Bring On the Dancing Girls," combines the stereo channels into mono throughout which I think was the wrong approach. The horns come through much better in stereo.

Presented in FLAC 1.1.4. Includes cue sheet for playing or burning. First uploaded to TapeCity by watchit, March 2007. First uploaded to Dime by watchit, October 2011.
