Frank Zappa:  Guitar (4 & 5)

This is the speed/pitch corrected version of the original recording.

I moved two track introductions to the end of the prior track, as 
I prefer tracks to start relatively quickly with the actual song, 
which these did not (Green & IO).  Also, I did not include the 
3 bonus tracks listed below, as I did not want to spread this 
over 2 discs.


Notes that came with this recording:

From Harvested Weeds (www.harvested.org): Introducing 
Interstellar Zappadrive!! HRV-CDR-031. The complete Pink Floyd 
performance from October 25, 1969 at the Actuel Music Festival. 

These (above tracks) are all from the new audience source recently 
uncovered. They have been speed corrected and carefully mastered 
by the Harvested staff. These 8 tracks all fit nicely on a single 
80 minute disc.

However, the shn disc now being seeded has 3 bonus tracks. 
These are the soundboard tracks from this show that were 
broadcast on the radio. After some digging, we found the best 
source and put in our own handiwork.

The following comments were ripped from The Pink Floyd Database 
at http://pf-db.com/index.php?concert_id=905&bootleg_id=3467 
Also speedcorrected and pitch corrected version of the original 
seed of the audience recording, slightly at diff speed than 
"Let's Be Frank..." though. The shn disc comes with bonus material 
from the supposed radio broadcast (soundboard source), but is not 
mentioned as a D2 on the artwork. -Furry_Animal

Notes that came with the ORIGINAL recording (from which
all others have come from):

source: audience recording 

Our Amougies series continues with probably the most 
anticipated performance of all - Pink Floyd's. Of course, 
the version of "Interstellar Overdrive" with Frank Zappa, 
long presumed lost, will now be familiar to most, but I'm 
sure this complete set will be of high interest to Floyd 
fans. As previously stated, the taper (JJB) didn't record 
everything, but when he did, he generally recorded complete 
sets. There are exceptions though, and Freedom is one of 
them - presumably after a few minutes the taper thought 
the band wasn't worth taping? Still, better than nothing! 
Also, there are obvious issues with the sound quality. 
Firstly, the tape recorder used was way below modern 
standards and the sound is nowhere near "professional" 
quality. Secondly, in order to save on batteries, the taper 
occasionally turned the recorder off between songs, resulting 
in a few truncated introductions. These reservations aside, 
however, this is simply an unbelievable document of a 
legendary festival, and so our hearfelt thanks to the taper 
for recording this at the time, and for allowing me to seed 
it here.

* (my comment):  You can compare the disc and track
  times to get an idea of how much HRV slowed the
  recording
