Notes that came from the seeder (including comments from the original source):

This is how I received it:

Tascam DA-20 MkII>DAT(48Khz)>Monster Coaxial Cable>Cool EditPro>
WAV(48Khz, 16 Bit)>SHN

This is what I did to comply with Dime's Policy as it was in 4 large files
and not split into seperate tracks:

SHN > DBPoweramp > WAV(44.1Khz-16 Bit) > Direct WAV Splitter 2.4.0 >
DBPoweramp > Flac Level 8(44.1Khz-16 Bit) >

Comments: 

From a very clean clone of the master cassettes. These tapes are
the source for every Bradford release that you have heard. This is a direct
transfer from the first generation tapes which date from 1971.

The recording includes all tune-ups and band chatter between tracks. The
boys are in a playful mood, as you can tell by their interaction with the
audience, which is very quiet during the songs. There is no appreciable
hiss. The taper also used 60 minute cassettes, 30 minutes to a side,
which is obvious by the breaks.


* Careful With That Axe:
   The recording begins with the first few notes of the song. I especially
   like Roger's scream since it is, by my count, a full 19 seconds long!

* Fat Old Sun:
   A great jam session. Vocals are not perfectly clear, but you can hear
   every word. There are some interesting guitar licks during the tune-ups.

* Set The Controls:
   The first tape flip occurs during the intro. After the song, Roger
   introduces 'Atom Heart Mother' then says the band is going to take a break,
   followed by what sounds like "then we're going to have a drink."

* Atom Heart Mother:
   During the intro, there are several pops which sound as if they might have
   been due to a loose microphone lead.

* Echoes:
   The opening pings to this "new piece" just pierces your skull.

* Cymbaline:
   The "footsteps" sequence goes on for quite a while. The third and final tape
   flip occurs during this sequence.

* One Of These Days:
   David introduces this new song using its full title. This was the second
   concert performance of this song(Not Including Pompeii), the first was at the
   BBC on 71-September-30.

* Saucerful: The final break in the tape occurs prior to 'Celestial Voices'.
