Pink Floyd Electric Factory rev A September 26, 1970 Electric Factory, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Harvested (HRV CDR 021)
Disc 1 1 Astronomy Domine 2 Cymbaline 3 A Saucerful Of Secrets
Disc 2 1 Interstellar Overdrive 2 Fat Old Sun 3 Green Is The Colour 4 Careful With That Axe, Eugene 5 Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
This is two discs in audio format, but it fits nicely onto a single CD in shorten format. Thus, weeding obligations are 3 weedlings for shorteners and 2 weedlings for audio.
In my opinion, the sound quality is excellent. And if you consider the advanced age of this recording, you may want to call it superb. But that only applies to the first 97% of the show. The last three minutes of Set the Controls appears to be patched from another (inferior) source.
In addition to my normal click and pop elimination, I also removed a chirping sound from those last 3 minutes. This noise appears to have been an artefact from some dehissing done long ago on this patch.
I would appreciate it if those people who "voted" for Electric Factory would comment on why they voted for EF and if this rev A release meets or falls short of their expectations.
Now you all can correct me if I'm wrong; but, my memory seems to recall that Jackie had a "date" take her to this show. If that's true, could someone repost her review here.
I worked at the Electric Factory during the 70's. What a fantastic experience. Wish I had photos and autographs of everyone I had the privilege of meeting including Jimmy Hendrex.

Thanks for this one -- I have On Top Of The World, and I'm curious to see how the sound on this one compares to it.
ReplyDeleteSweet - thanks for putting some of these shows up. Was looking all over for a seeded copy of the Electric Factory and stumbled upon this (finally).
