Master Tape 4: Pink Floyd - Aachen 7/12/70 | San Tropez 8/8/70



One of my friends did a study of all of the circulating versions of the Aachen gig & found that they had all gone through an .mp3 generation at some point. Even the silver-pressed CDs of this show had been .mp3s at one point or another. (He studied the sound spectra.) But, when he compared the version you will download here, it has a vastly superior sound spectra. It has never been an .mp3.

From the Master Reels to DAT to lossless to you. Two wonderful gigs from 1970!!!

Master Tape 2: Pink Floyd - 25/2/77 Paris | 15/3/77 I Wembley, UK







Here are two more shows from the original reels... Both have been widely circulated, so I thought it might be nice to include (above) some of the artwork from a few of the circulated "versions" of these shows.

But, again, the versions of the shows that you'll download here do not technically "belong" to any of the artwork. You'll download the raw, unremastered, unedited version from the master reels.

Master Tape 1: Pink Floyd - 5/7/75 (2nd Source) | 26/6/71 (2nd Source)







We're back into the Master Tapes again... Just as a reminder, these are all master reel-to-reel tapes. Each of them has this lineage -

Master Reels > DAT > .wav file > .shn file > .rar files > you

If there is sufficient interest, I have some 30+ of these recordings. Each of them is an improvement over all circulating versions that have come across my stereo. But, I would love to hear your opinions if your mileage varies.

Nothing has been "remastered" or edited in any way. Enjoy!

New Harvested DVD - The Wall Rehearsals



Pink Floyd
Earl's Court, London
1 August 1980

"The Wall Rehearsal"

Format: NTSC/PCM Mono
Lineage: PAL VHS Master > AVI (PAL) > MPEG-2 (NTSC)/PCM Mono
Captured, edited and converted with Vegas 6

Mother*
Goodbye Blue Sky
Empty Spaces
Young Lust
One of My Turns
Another Brick in the Wall (Part 3)*
Goodbye Cruel World*
Is There Anybody Out There?*
Nobody Home
Vera*
Bring the Boys Back Home
Comfortably Numb
In The Flesh
Run Like Hell*
Waiting For The Worms*

Running Time: Approx 45 mins

*incomplete

Shot on a tripod from the left balcony, Mal was able to capture a good part of Pink Floyd rehearsing The Wall at Earl's Court. The tape has faired well over the years and I was able to pull off a pretty decent transfer from this VHS relic. I tweaked the image a bit adding a tad of contrast and brightness to deepen the blacks without losing any of the details.

Please note that during "Goodbye Blue Sky" the camera zooms in to focus on the images on the screen. The camera remains here until the start of "One of My Turns" so unfortunately "Empty Spaces" and "Young Lust" do not show any images of the stage or musicians. In fact, the latter only features the lights on Mr Screen and I'm assuming that the camera was left shooting on the tripod without being checked until a few sonngs later. Anyone who doesn't want to sit through this can simply advance to the next track.

This DVD contains the full contents of the master VHS tape. The only time I added short dissolves was to cut out the points where the camera was paused and then started again, causing severe tape glitches and audio distortion.

(excerpt from Mal's original post on YouTube)
"I was fortunate enough to have a tenancy at Earls Court which expired at Midnight. I was asked if the band could rehearse, given the hall was contractually still mine. I had no objection. I rushed home, picked up my "steam powered VHS" and filmed what I could. It's been hidden away for 27 years, I recently got the tape out, had a quick edit and posted."

Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive - promo film

There have been many, many assorted releases of Interstellar Overdrive and Nick's Boogie from Peter Whitehead's tape. These include a pile of various editions of the soundtrack and there must be at least 6 or so different CD singles promoting the soundtrack CDs. The primary film, Tonight Let's All Make Love In London, is virtually unreleased. It was issued, briefly, on Laser Disk in Japan. I understand that it was issued briefly in the UK on VHS, but I can not confirm this. A second film, London '66-'67, was widely released on VHS both in the UK and the US. It was issued (briefly) on Laser Disk in Japan. This second film is allegedly a promotional film for TLAMLIL, but is a laugh that the promotional film is widely available and the film that it promotes is essentially unknown.

The DVD edition of the London '66-'67 film was released in 2005. It includes portions of TLAMLIL. This suggests to me that there were, perhaps, legal problems with some of the other bits. That would explain why the official releases of the full film were so limited.

In 2005, someone decided that what was needed was a short film to promote the DVD release of London '66-'67, which, as I have explained, is, itself, a promotional film. And, so, a 3 minute long PAL VHS tape appeared on eBay. The seller was in Greece, not a likely candidate, I thought, for an interesting promotional item. But, hey, what harm could there be in investigating it ?

And, so, I bought the VHS tape, not really expecting anything of interest, and had it transferred from PAL VHS to a PAL .avi file.

Incredibly, this film turned out to be something genuinely special! It has no credits or titles. There's no voice-over or anything else that you would typically associate with advertising or promotion. It's a 3 minute film featuring footage from both TLAMLIL and London '66-'67 and - this is the weird bit - a few scenes that do not appear in either film!!! The audio is an edited version of Interstellar Overdrive.

Read a review of the DVD here. I hope that you buy one! It's a wonderful film that belongs in every Pink Floyd collection!

Pink Floyd - There Is No Dark Side


This is a 2 CD set of interviews taken from various sources. Of course, none of the sources are listed, which is unfortunate. Some of it sounds pretty crappy, honestly. I suspect it's very much a case of someone slapping a package together as quickly as possible to make some cash. This is not the work of a serious archivist. A pity. Still, there are one or two items of note. Hope this satisfies your curiosity and saves you some cash. B-)

From a rare UK promotional CD, a very nice interview of Rick Wright regarding his solo album, Broken China. I can't begin to say how much I wish there were more interviews of Rick. Seems like such a swell guy, buy shy, I guess.

Another Brick - Another Wall



This is one that always left me wondering... The photos are all of Gilmour's Floyd in the 1980s or of members of the Surrogate Band from the Wall concerts.. The text in the booklet is largely about Syd Barrett. So, what would you expect that the interview on the CD would be about ? Well, it's an interview of Roger Waters discussing Radio KAOS and how he's really Pink Floyd.

Rog Not Reg

Limited Edition


This CD contains 2 interviews of Nick. The only source info is that the first is from 1981 and the second from 1985. Both sound like journalists preparing to write an article on the Floyd. The first is (of course) largely about The Wall. The second touches on the state of the band and whether or not they'll ever put out another album. Fun stuff! I wish the sound were a bit better... But, they weren't recorded with commercial release in mind.

Conversation Series




The original Conversation Series CD came out more than 20 years ago. It was a limited pressing & absolutely impossible to lay hands on. It took me many years to find a copy & it's the only one I have seen for sale. B-)

The CD itself is one great long audio track consisting of 2 interviews. The first interview was later reissued as a different CD called "Full Of Secrets". I don't know the source information. They talk about whenther or not they are an underground group, so I am going to guess that it is from before Dark Side. The second interview is generally given as 1970-Sept New York University. The interviewer is clearly very, very stoned.

For your convenience, I have split the two interviews into 2 separate files. Although, if you want to be a complete purist, you'll want to join them again before burning.
