5. A Saucerful of Secrets (14:48)

Comments: Very low gen audience tape of an excellent complete show.
Very little hiss, however, some tape speed fluctuations are a little distracting.
CwtAE is standard performance from this time frame. Cymbaline is excellent with
very clear "footsteps" tape effects. Echoes is a good version, with Gilmour
doing great jamming and Mason's cymbal work top-notch, unfortunately it appears
somewhat fast. Overall, a very good release with some excellent performances.

With the exception of the tape speed fluctuations this might rate an Excellent.

Note: I have corrected substantially most of the tape speed problems.
There are still a few "warbles" but for the most part it sounds really nice.
