notes:

Radio not audience sourced and 20 not 17 February '72 as often mislabeled.
the vinyl used as source for this release has not a very *clean* sound, there are many pops here and there.
[probably the LP "In Celebration Of The Comet" (TAKRL1903) was used as source here]
this release has many "twins", not exactly clones cause the tape/vinyl source is not always the same, but there are indeed at least other three editions practically identical to this one: Best Of Tour '72, Forbidden Samples, Time and more...  included obviously the first set of Time Ends and The Best Of The Rainbow).
the original recording used as source for these releases has an excellent sound quality but it was always edited incorrectly (or the recording is originally cut).
since there are better sounding twins from the same source The Live Side of The Moon is not the best choice, and mind that it does exist really an audience recording with no cuts and including the complete second set too (here totally missing).
