Notes

Paradiso, Amsterdam
Quality: VG

(disc 1)

tracks 01-06: 1968.05.23 (early set) Paradiso, Amsterdam - low gen source

track 07: "1966 Syd Home Demo" - Unfortunately, this is reputed--by some very "higher ups" in the Syd collectors food chain--to be a fake. :(

track 08: 1968.06.25 Picadilly Studios, London
Massed Gadgets Of Hercules (early Saucerful)
BBC appearance, early performence of Saucerful. Not sure why the name is as it is, since they were calling it Saucerful the month before...but whatever. Nice source.

track 09: 1967.01.20 Mike Leonard's house, North London
Often said to be from "66/10/31", that is not true. Recorded by Irene Winsby, during a rehearsal at Mr. Leonard's house. This new information comes from very knowledgable Syd collectors, and is finally correct. It's almost certain that no recordings circulate from that 66/10/31 private recording session!!
As interesting as the recording is, it is unfortunately borderline atrocious. If there even were any, lyrics are unintelligible.

track 10: Candy And A Currant Bun - drug lyrics 01:58:00
track 11: Candy And A Currant Bun - clean lyrics 02:42:72
Two studio versions of this b-side, one with the drug lyrics, one with wholesome clean lyrics that your grandma would allow. The drug lyrics version wasn't officially released (no way would the "higher ups" allow that sort...), and is said to be sourced from a studio acetate. Kudos to that fine fellow who leaked it. They both apparantly cull from the same instrumental backing track, with the first version edited a bit.

tracks 01-10: 1968.05.23 (late set) Paradiso, Amsterdam - low gen source
the complete late show from this date. Keep Smiling People is an unrecorded instrumental that has some similarities with 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene'. Accolades of this are not limited to: early performence of Saucerful (possibly the 2nd time ever played live), and two fairly rare songs in live form. A nice recording considering the shoddy equipment available in those days.

track 11: 1968.06.25 Picadilly Studios, London
another early variation of what would become 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene'.

track 12: 1968.12.28 Margriethal Jaarburs, Utrecht
Apparantly the first circulating recording of 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene' as most of us know it.

track 13: 1969.04.14 Royal Festival Hall, London
Live variation of Axe, as was part of the Man&Journey suites.

track 14: Recorded live at Paradiso, Amsterdam 1968.05.23
