I don't know much about this. Found the following comment by FurryAnimal, who gave this an A rating, at http://pf-db.com/index.php?concert_id=101&bootleg_id=127

Comment: From The Other Side As written on the back cover:

TIME - no solo lead guitar after "starting gun" ... no Breate [sic] Reprise

BRAIN DAMAGE - no laughing on fade up ... "lunatic is in my head" fade up is different from what precedes on record (which is chorus instead of instrumental section) ... "if cloud burst..." has lead guitar not on record ... no voice speech in next section, but lead guitar instead... lead guitar on end after "dark side of the moon"

US AND THEM - Sax solo at the beginning has different ending ... no echo on voice ... sax continues inder voice into second verse ... into "forward he cried" ... and next verse. 3black and blue" (record starts at "who's who" and goes to "up and down")... sax continues into "up and down" verse and into "haven't you heard" with no voice over. On record the sax is the same take but just mixed in and out.


The same website has a separate entry for the label DFP, but no additional info. The artwork that downloads is from both entries.

I haven't listened yet, but the track times are quite different from those tracks of the same title from the recent posting here for 'The Great Gig in the Sky - an alternative take on DSOTM.'

Thank you Dr. Forrester for sharing all these.

Just in case there is any interest, this particular post is a rip that I did from one of the disks in my collection. I included a photo of the CD. The cover art files all came from here -

The lineage would be -

Silver CD> .wav > .flac > .rar > Floyd Collectors

Instead of finishing my work late on a Friday afternoon, my curiosity got the better of me. I compared versions I had and concluded that these are rough mixes that are very close in length of time and in sound to the "rough mixes" on a 2cd compilation called 'The Dark Side of the Moon (Collectors Edition)" that I got from Pink Robert. The tracks "Brain Damage" and "Eclipsed" combine in time to exactly equal "Brain Damage" on Just Add Cones version. The track "Time" is off by 1 second; the track "Us and Them" is off by 13 seconds. From the portions I listened to and compared, these are the same sources.

The "Collector's Edition" includes a stereo rip of the quadrophonic versions, plus Abbey Road outtakes and another alternative version of the complete album, which I have not compared to the one posted by Dr. Forrester here a few days ago. Perhaps someone with more time and knowledge than I would report back with more comments on these.

thanks a lot Dr. Forrester;
as far as I can remember the "no lead guitar solo" Time was - among other rare Dark Side studio mixes - on the Rarities Tree set (I don't remember which volume)

The Brain Damage/Eclipse with Gilmour weeping electric overdubs (too bad they didn't keep it!) was on the Rarities Tree too (and Silent Sea use it as a""" filler """ for their Great Gig In The Sky silver Cd)
