notes:
This is sourced from a very low copy of the master
(someone says from the masters) and was left almost unprocessed, the
result is a very cripsy and enjoyable version whereas the HRV release (I guess
it was sourced from the same copy of this one) is victim of a hard remastering
(NR)
Maybe it was better to limit the remastering to a mere
speedcorrection only, this version indeed runs very slow.
The silvers have some sorta static 'tics' on OTR.
notes from the PF-RoIO db:
This is exactly the same recording as you get on 2CD 'Money'. but as 'Money'
claims to be (but are NOT) this is the whole show. This one also includes more
of Roger speaking with the audience; Audience: 1967!!! Roger: 1967!?! Well,
you're wrong this is 1974!!! 'Money' also claims to be recorded on the 14th of
November, I belive this is right. After comparing the DSotM part against the
roio 'Brain Damage' (which IS from the 16th), I found that they could not be
from the same show, even if the recording was fixed before they boadcasted it in
75. It also has the guitar 'trouble' on 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond as is
described in comments for 'Money' (and in Miles book). Sheep is announced as
"Raving And Drooling I Fall On His Neck With A Scream" and there is a tape
played before the song starts. The versions of Sheep and Dogs is a little
different from the 75 and 77 versions of these songs. Great Echoes (as always).
Very little audience noise on this recording.
All times are taken or measured from the CD timer. The tape used when making
this CD, is going a bit slow I think. -TOR
The wrong speed of the record is a pain, especially in the DSOTM parts and
Echoes. Note that this is an audience recording and not from the BBC broadcast
on 16 Nov 1974. Title printing on the discs says 'In The Flesh', the people at
Great Dane must have switched the labels with the other recording, because that
CD's are labelled 'Black Holes...'. 20-page booklet with many photos, cartoons,
some explanatory text and a drawing of the PF members from Gerald Scarfe (1974!)
The early versions of SOYCD (all nine parts are together, no split between part
5 and 6), Sheep and Dogs are interesting. -HERWIG
Taken from the British Winter Tour 74 date at Wembely on the 15/11/74 (not 16th)
this excellent package covers the entire show and features a superb 18 page
colour booklet by one Ron Fleisher! The tape source is superb. -BD (#24)
This CD has been one to suffer from degradation/browning of the aluminium. The
following information goes some way to explaining the CD mix-up with In the
Flesh as mentioned above.
These are the matrix numbers of the GDR CDs 'In the Flesh' and 'Black Holes In
the Sky'. Apart from the text 'MANUFACTURED...' and the long number '99195...'
they are:
old new Black 1: 1102-B 2411-B Black 2: 1102-A 2437-B Flesh 1: 1102-B 1418-B
Flesh 2: 1102-A 2437-A
'Old' stands for the CDs that got a brown colour and 'new' stands for the CDs
that were received from GDR in exchange for the brown CDs.
My discs have some sort of static or fuzz on most of the tracks. It sounds a lot
like listening to a radio without having it properly tuned in. "Shine on" and
"Raving and Drooling are the only two songs without the static. -SK
This is a great show, however the (very!) low speed of the recording makes it
hard to enjoy. Besides that, the sound is good. Raving and Drooling and You
Gotta Be Crazy are very interesting. Great Echoes as always. - FERNANDO
