A raw transfer of a sample of the beginning of this audience tape 
of the band's first 1971 concert from Jon R's collection. Jon's 
trading contact often added music from interesting dates as fillers 
for pairs of cassettes that he sent to him.

I have been trying to acquire a copy of Implosion for over a decade. 
From my research it would seem that a few collectors have the complete 
concert, timing in at over two hours but are not yet prepared to 
share it. I believe Jon's tape is 1st or 2nd gen. At one point I was 
offered a 25 minute tape. It transpired that this comes from one reel 
and the vast majority of the recording is on another. I believe more 
people have the 25 minute version than the 2 hour version. The 25 min 
version circulates on CD and contains three songs in this order: 

Setlist  -  24.29
1	Astronomy Dominé	 9.07
2	The Embryo		13.10
3	Fat Old Sun (inc)	 2.32

The guy who taped the gig apparently worked at Advision Studios around 
the time the recording was made.

The full tracklist that night was: 
1	The Embryo
2	Astronomy Dominé
3	Fat Old Sun
4	Careful With That Axe
5	Set The Controls
6	Saucerful Of Secrets
7	Atom Heart Mother (w/ brass + choir)
