notes:

Sirene's limited edition: 300 copies only
What to say, very nice version and including Echoes finally, but de-hissing used and there's a weird kind of compression appearing in the spectral analysis...
There was a long discussion about it, too long to report, too long to explain what's my opinion about this matter (and would be just my opinion after all), I'd just like to say that that line of compression (that stuff somebody believes to be an mp3-cut on the frequencies) does appear in other Sirene's releases, so I guess that's the result of the trick the Sirene's guys use to master the rcordings reducing the possible noise.
the "I've been mad for f***ing years" line on STM is here mixed differently than on Brain Damage (MAW) or in the previously circulating pre-FM Master (the one with no Echoes) ... there this line is like in back, sounds distant covered by the heartbeats.
notes as they came with the files:
The second half and encore of the show of 16th November 1974 was recorded by BBC Radio One. However, only "Dark Side Of The Moon" - with the line "I've been mad for fucking years" in "Speak To Me" removed from the mix - was broadcasted, on the Alan Freeman Show on 11th January 1975. This is taken from the original pre-broadcast master tapes including encore "Echoes".
