Notes that came with this recording:


Well here it is at last the lost tape from the 70-July-18 
Hyde Park show - this is the genuine article.  It is a shame 
that this recording is not complete as it is missing 
Atom Heart Mother.

I was contacted by the guy who taped the show and this is a 
transfer direct from his master tape.

The transfer was carried out as follows: -

The transfer was made on 05-Sept-10 from the master BASF L-C60 cassette


Transfer made as follows:

* Nakamichi ZX-7 cassette deck

* Manual adjustment to height and azimuth of playback head to match that 
  of the original tape recorder and to optimise the sound.

* Direct connection to analogue input of Audiophile 2496 soundcard via 
  high quality Clicktronic interconnects with 24K gold plugs.

* Recording made to Wav file at 44.1kHz


I fixed a few pop's so that I could normalise the recording but apart 
from that this is an unaltered version of this show

The sound quality ranges from good to very good, there are some microphone 
"nudge" noises and some wind noise.

The show was recorded using a mono Phillips cassette recorder with a 
microphone mounted on a 6 foot pole. The taper, David, sat about 
100 meters from the stage to the left of centre. Overall the recording 
quality is mostly very good. Some wind noise is picked up by the 
microphones and also the quality of the sound changes due to wind 
"blowing the sound around". Occasionally there is a little distortion 
but really nothing to complain about considering how this show was taped. 

If anybody has a genuine version of the Atom Heart Mother from this show, 
then please contact me.
