notes:
this is from my own tapes as they were sent me kindly from a collector's
archive.
Here we have the complete recorder 1 with no filler of any kind! and not
sourced from vinyl.
A very long and nice source. The sound quality tends to be not better
than the source used for the LP
It's all-in-all better than the LP version I got but the source used for
the LP was truly nice I guess, with a full sound definition that is a
bit missing here on the tapes, here all is a bit more plain and a bit
shrilling in some parts especially on the first set, the LP source is a
bit more deep in sound but the LP version I got was first dehissed and
also tends like to distort in some parts.
The contents are different from the boot LP and from the "Shism" version
too.
First of all the LP boot had no Echoes and YGBC, YGBC wasn't prolly
taped by this taper but Echoes was, as all we well know (do we?) for
some time. Indeed at first it was supposed that the "Shism" version
(having Echoes) was from different recorder than the LP but as I stated
years ago it isn't. What's nice is that Echoes was around in an edited
version only so far (both on "Shism" and also on the filler used in the
3rd gen of recorder 3) , whereas it's here surprisingly totally
integral! YUP!
Apart from this complete Echoes (that's already a good reason to get
this recorder since the other 2 recorders are missing Echoes or have it
incomplete) there are also other nice and long pieces of intermission,
as well as the intro to R&D (recorded like the taper was hiding the
recorder for a bit).
I did master the tapes at the loudest volume possible since it "stands"
the loud volume pretty well (low level of hiss etc..) although I suggest
to listen to the CDs, on the first set espacially, not at the max of the
volume for the reasons explained above (the shrilling parts).
I chose to put this on 3 CDs to have the TDSOTM set not divided, CD2+CD3
can also fit an overburned single CD. The original speed was pretty
slow, I speedcorrected it at the best of my abilities, still there were
portions running not at the right speed, this is a nice version re-speedcorrecte
by Rudy.
