notes:

Amazing recording! Sound quality is truly wonderful. Pity for the edits, I have no idea if they are on the original masters of this recorder... with many thanks to AC!
notes as they came with the files:
Excellent sound on cassettes. Two flaws:
1. only half of "Don't Leave Me Now" is captured due to turning over the cassette
2. most of "Waiting For The Worms" is missing due to changing the cassettes

notes updated May 2010 with more info

I received the cassettes in a trade around 2000, back when traders still mailed cassette tapes. Some cassettes had generation information, but these  did not. I traded with about 30 people from the USA, Germany, and England.  I do not remember who sent them to me. Before I could afford a computer, I bought  a Sony machine that connected to my cassette deck. The Disc Recorder made regular  music CD's from the cassettes. I raised the volume during the quieter parts, but  NO speed correction was needed (leading me to believe that I had low-gen copies).  I still have the machine, but the special blank CD's needed for it are no longer  being made. With CD burners on computers, it quickly became a $500 ancient relic. I did not alter the equalization, speed, etc, with Goldwave. I only used it to rip  the songs into WAV files from my CD-R's. Most of the Wall bootlegs are bad. This  recording is very good when compared! If someone out there reading this has the  master tapes, please release them. I hope that I will be seeding this correctly.  I still have to read the instructions for uTorrent. :)
Shine On!

update on the equipment/recording location:

this is the probable source of this recorder: recorded from block 29, using a sony tcd 5m cassette recorder and a sony ecm 99 stereo mic.

Notes as they came with the files for JFE remaster 24/96 - patches from rec1
Syd's original transfer (Sony TC-WE635 > Philips CDR 760 > Goldwave) had heavy digital clipping from too high of a record level on the transfer. Much of the fidelity of the tape was not captured.
Mastering notes:
This tape has some generation loss but still has the sound quality to require high resolution (24/96) transfer to fully capture. The dynamics are still very punchy. The azimuth issues that can be heard are recorded from an earlier generation analog transfer - this copy was accurately aligned. The playback speed (a moving target) was manually adjusted during the transfer to the best of my ability. There is no digital processing of any kind (gain adjustments or speed corrections).
There is a 15.7KHz noise present in the recording. This could be the result of a video tape in the lineage or simply an poorly shielded video monitor bleeding into an analog transfer sometime in this tapes history.
This recorder is incomplete due to tape changes at the show. The missing sections have been patched from rec1 (WALLweed WWRM019). No portions of rec2 were altered or omitted.
This is a stereo recording of a concert that was presented in surround sound. This is by far the best sounding recorder of the 3 available. A raw copy of rec1 could possibly have very good sound as well but the WALLweed version has been all but destroyed by brutal low res processing. Rec3 is very distant.
Since the lineage is unknown and the possibility of finding a lower gen copy exists, no mastering will be done to this recording for now.
A downsampled 16/44.1 version for burning to CD is also provided. No dynamic range limiting was done to accommodate the CD format's limited dynamic range so this version will be compromised.
Do not sell. Free trade only. Please share the complete set, not just the CD copy and certainly not mp3 reductions. You may not care but the next person down the line from you might be devastated if you don't!
