Xref: British Winter Tour 74 - LP

Quality: VG+ - Oscar


Comments: Finally, this gem of the '74 concert in Trentham Gardens shows up on cd. As it is copied directly from the lp, sometimes scratches and other unwanted noises appear. Not that is is too disturbing, the lp-source must have been in pretty good condition. Sound quality is VG+, a little thin on the bass and a bit muttered. Shine On is in one piece. The performance is pretty tight, and it's always nice to hear the nine parts of SOYCD together as they always should have been, imho. I recommend it. - Oscar

Thanks,Doc.

I used to have this years ago and I lost it.

It's good to be reunited with an old friend.

Cheers.

I grade both this and the second set (Reeling in Pink Floyd, LDB remaster) as AUD B+. Thanks Doc!
