Info
Dalla copia del nastro originale! In una serata tormentata da problemi causati dall' impianto elettrico i nostri per reazione, come al solito, sparano un concerto magnifico. Astronomy Domine viene tentata varie volte e poi eseguita a partire dalla famosa scala discendente in un' ottima versione, Niente da dire se non che i classici del gruppo sono eseguiti al meglio, in particolare AHM a mio parere nella sua versione live più bella, e le ho sentite proprio tutte, ma credo che così non l' abbiano mai suonata: veramente un' altro pianeta rispetto alla versione al cloroformio che eseguivano di solito. Il concerto prosegue sempre meglio, con versioni meravigliose di Careful e Set The Controls, per concludere con un' esecuzione definitiva di 20 minuti di A Saucerful Of Secrets. Una versione da svenimento. Consigliatissimo!

Tecnical Notes
This is sourced from the Master Tape, via a DAT 4 gen tape. I've had this recording for quite awhile but rarely listened to it, due to the fact that it runs a bit fast. Well, I have finally decided to fix the speed problem. I hope you like the results.
Though the source recording has some minor problems (minor sonic bumps and some hiss - more so on Disc 2), this is a superb, clear sounding recording and is a definite upgrade to 'Best Of The Pepperland Tapes'.

Remastering notes:
In determining the best speed change to make, I used the Pepperland Tapes as a guide. I found that while a speed change of -4.0 brought me in line with the Pepperland Tapes, it seemed a bit sluggish. I found -3.8 to be the best sounding.
I re-indexed things a bit. I broke the Astronomy Domine power problems into their own track. While interesting to hear once or twice, they are not something you want to repeatedly listen to. I also moved Embryo to the end of Disc 1. Since it segues smoothly from AHM and has an abrupt cut at the end, it seemed more natural to place it at the end of a disc. I also indexed the tracks so that the song begins with the track, except for Saucerful.
