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-speedcorrected by Rudy.
