PF - 1970-03-15 - 1st Gen (unprocessed)

I was just cleaning out a particularly dusty corner of the archives when I found another version of the Hannover '70 gig. I have already shared three other versions... 1 2 3

But, I thought, oh, why not? Maybe you'd like a fourth version?

Comments: Sound quality is very good, a tad hissy. As far as I know, there
is not a better sounding copy of this recording.

This is the complete recording, probably sourced from the first generation
tape. 'Astronomy Domine' may or may not have been played that night.
There's a portion of a song (6-7 seconds) at the end of 'Atom Heart Mother'
that is from another recording. It sounds as if the tape was recorded over.

There's a bit of a constant ringing during 'Set The Controls', it
starts and stops, but once you notice it, it becomes very annoying.
The sound is quite nice, an easy VG/VG+ but there's some hiss.
You can hear clearly people around the taper.
