Pink Floyd: "The Handwriting on the Wall"
Recorded Live at Earls Court Arena
June 17th, 1981
Outstanding Sound Quality
Audience Recording

A Man of Leisure Music (MoLM) Production

www.molm.org

***** EXCELLENT ALTERNATE SOURCE *****

(mastered directly from the source tape)

Mastered to CD from the original tape and speed
corrected by Danalog of Man of Leisure Music
(MoLM) www.molm.org It's likely the original tape
recording machine's calibration was slightly off.
MoLM got the master tape on loan from Carzi, who
got it from the taper. Recorded with a Technics
Single Point Stereo Microphone and a Sony TC153SD
Cassette deck.

This recording has less audible background
audience than the more common Golden Stars/MoLM
source. It tends to have a fuller range of
sound, but slightly less bass than the more
cirulated source from this date. This is the
same taper who is known to have recorded
04Nov73, 16Nov74, 17Nov74, 06Aug80 and 17Jun81.

Compared to the incredible 06Aug80 recording,
he's further back in the crowd, so the sound
is just a bit more distant in nature. The August
1980 recording may be the best recording, but this
last Wall show is a hard performance to beat.
