David Bowie
Victoria Hall, Hanley, UK
May - 29 - 1973
Remastered copy of mastertape of an audience recording received in a trade by wetransfer.
There is already a version of this recording on mwp, upped by other as 4th gen copy so this version here is a real upgrade.
Info:
wav files from trade -> Free Audio Converter -> flac files (44,1 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo) -> Mindwarppavilion
I would rate the recording partly as vg+ (overall vg). No EQ was done.
Generally the tape has a very clear sound but unfortunately the quality fluctuates more or less periodically to a duller sound as if
the tape had some distension or crumple. This is mostly present in Ziggy Stardust. The most of the first part of Let's Spend The Night Together is missing and only 26 seconds are left.
Even if there are some flaws in sound the recording is very enjoyable and reflects the great atmosphere of this concert of the late Ziggy phase.
It seems to be the complete show (pretty tight gig) as I could not make any other cut between the songs than the one before Let's Spend The Night Together.
And judging from other concerts around that time Width Of A Circle was always followed by Let's Spend The Night Together.
The sound remaster was not made by me as received the recording as you can find it here. So it is hard to say how good this remaster really is.
I tried to improve it even more but as the result was not much better I left it as it was.
There is some original artwork attached. A nicer version is arleady available in the mwp artwork section made by MossGarden for the other upload.
As MossGarden told me he will make a "real" back cover for the cd and upload it to mwp.
