notes:
unfortunately ruined by annoying NR, I do prefer Sycopated Pandemonium for the
Amsterdam sets or the supposed master copy.
INFO BY LAUGHINGMADCAPS:
23 May 1968 (Paradiso, Amsterdam) is processed from an analog 1st gen tape of
the audience master.
(I think it was originally recorded on reel, but am not sure.)
There was an early and a late show. The early show was treed there a year ago, I
don't think the late show ever was. In any case, I've
added new filler to both discs. The sound is a little rough, but this is an
audience tape from 1968. It's been heavily booted (credited to various venues
and dates) and the quality was always C+. This isn't perfect, but significantly
better. Mark/Swan Lee did this one, he put weeks of work into it and the credit
is all his.
Filler on CD1 was from the 5 May 1968 Rome Pop Fest. It still is, but we have an
upgrade. I recently got in a clone of a DAT taken from a rebroadcast of the
radio station's master tape. It doesn't get any better than that, so here it is.
The sound is superb. There isn't very much 1968 Floyd circulating at all, and
this is outstanding. (I didn't add extra filler to this disc because it was
treed once and artwork was made.)
The filler on CD2 starts with Rome, 19 April 1968. These have circulated widely
too, but not always in this quality. (Kiloh used to have the "Interstellar
Overdrive" credited as 2/67 Dorothy Ballroom, Cambridge!)
Then there's a 9/68 French TV rendition of "Let There Be More Light." The qual
is spotty and it's hard to tell whether the band is lip-synching or singing live
to the backing track. It could be a little of both. The French audience are
meant to clap on cue -- they come in much too early and yet they're in tempo.
Strange. Anyway, it's rare and there was room, so
here it is.
Finally, we have three songs from the "More" film. These are taken from video,
and the mixes used within the film are different from what's on the album. One
tune, "Seabirds" isn't even included. (I think there are a couple more non-LP
songs, but this is what I had handy.) Some of it's buried under dialogue,
unfortunately. If PF ever do a proper box set, this is the kind of thing they
should dig out of the vault.
