From the master tapes of what is known as recorder 2 (same recorder as the source
called '4th Gen'). This recorder is cut at the very end of ACYL, missing the end
of this song and BD/Eclipse, so i patched those missing bits from the low genera-
tion source i have from recorder 1. One of These Days remains from the main sour-
ce, the only bit edited out was 1:11m of audience/tunings before OOTD because it
sounded very bad, as if the tape was very damaged really (some kind of channel
dropping, or maybe just very heavy mic bumps).

Sound is really good, an EX+ for a 1973 recording, one of the best from that year
(if not the best), performance is good also.

The patch job was made using SoundForge and CDWave to split the tracks, and enco-
ding/md5 was done on Trader's Little Helper.

No EQ/NR applied to this, apart of the patch job and some minimum fade in/out,
this is as raw as russian's winters.

Nice 2CD set to put under the christmas tree dont you think?

merry x-mas ...

Thank you for posting this. In theory, this should be amongst the best versions, if not the best, for this date.

However, the pics posted on the website and accompanying the downloaded files are from the Anyanami version. I can tell from listening that this is definitely not that version and are very likely as advertised. Assuming this is indeed The White Album, pics can be found here:
