(read notes below)
this is indeed what people might call "recorder 2" since it's from a different
recorder than the one widely in circulation on CD before, Although here there's
an evident patch for the 1st track on the intro , which comes from the other
"common recorder".
about the small fades, they occur in the same points where there are cuts on the
tape copy of this particular recorder that I checked, not where the sides change
though.
The sound quality is really better than on the tape copy I had the chance to
check.
The contents are the same.
notes as they came with the files:
This is the second night of a six show stint at Earl's Court. This comes from
the master
tapes and sounds great to my ears... nice, clear, and crispy. There have been
some small
fades applied in a couple places that must have happened somewhere down the
lineage, not by
myself. I tend to think this happened somewhere in the DAT gens but this is only
a guess. I
I have done nothing to this source at all but tracked it in cd wav, it came to
me on audio
cdr's with each set untracked, so this was necessary.
From what I can gather this particular recorder has not been spread commonly,
only amongst
traders. There should be another recorder around under the Wall Weeds label (WWRM),
that
one sounds quite nice as well but has no lineage. I think this is an upgrade in
sound to
that version but if your a completist freak like myself you need both!
Please notice that I have this listed as Recorder 1 in the source/lineage, this
is because
this was the first RoIO I received for this date. You may have the WWRM or
another version
listed as Recorder 1, in that case make this Recorder 2.
I believe there might be some versions of this master floating about that
contain a high
pitched whine from 31:09 till 32:47 in the first set during What shall we do
now?, but this
does not. Originally I got this in flac with the high pitched whine but it seemd
to be a
flaw somewhere in the compression or something. After a second try receiving
audio cdr's in
place of flac data, the audio was revealed to be perfect... whew!!!
Now get out your favourite smoking utensil of choice and pack it up, sit back,
and enjoy the
sounds.
