Mono or stereo?
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Thursday, 27 December 2012 01:04 (eleven years ago) link
stereo
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 27 December 2012 01:08 (eleven years ago) link
I love the stereo, especially for the WHOOSH-OOSH-OOSH-OOSH at the end of "Interstellar Overdrive."
But dude, you should totally hear the mono if you get a chance. Lots of different little differences.
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Thursday, 27 December 2012 01:09 (eleven years ago) link
Plus the mono version of Interstellar Overdrive kicks like an ornery mule.
But I'm glad you got the remaster HOTS, for it rules.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 27 December 2012 01:22 (eleven years ago) link
mono eh
i shall investimagate

The mono version of Saucerful is also worth hearing if you can track it down. On the other version the stereo panning is so extreme it kills some of the record.

can anyone recommend a good bootleg of album outtakes from the '70-'75 era?
― calstars, Saturday, 26 January 2013 03:00 (eleven years ago) link
It's funny, but there hasn't been a lot of genuine unreleased or alternate material that has surfaced, some of it was trickling out slowly on the box sets. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that there wasn't a lot of surplus music made.
If you haven't heard them, the most salient is the Zabriskie Point sessions material that was never used or released.

I see Fopp are knocking out the Immersion box sets
― Mark G, Saturday, 26 January 2013 08:57 (eleven years ago) link
The monitor mix of DSOTM is kinda good, the Apollo astronaut samples in Great Gig work well. It's funny not hearing that familiar sliiiide into Clare Torry's vocal at the start.
― MaresNest, Saturday, 26 January 2013 09:01 (eleven years ago) link
Outside of "Moonhead," "The Embryo," and the Zabriske Point stuff there isn't much more unless you're prepared to track down all 18 CDs of A Tree Full Of Secrets.

I found my "Piper" 3CD boxset yesterday.

In the Wish You Were Here BBC documentary, Gilmour says that he and Waters disagreed over two songs that Gilmour wanted on the record but Waters did not. Anyone know more about this?

I heard Grantchester Meadows in a shop yesterday, thought I was having a stroke.
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 11:49 (eleven years ago) link
Answering my own question: the songs were 'Sheep' and 'Dogs.'
― calstars, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 15:19 (eleven years ago) link
i was listening to Piper on headphones recently and the super wide stereo mixing leaves decent chunks of some tracks completely silent on one side, it is most distracting, I wonder if Piper and Saucerful were both mixed Mono first/Stereo later like the Beatles.
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 16:11 (eleven years ago) link
Pretty sure Piper was; the mono mix sounds more carefully considered (and fucking tremendous -- it enhanced my appreciation of this record like no other alternate mix of anything, ever).
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 16:19 (eleven years ago) link
^^^me too. I mean the Beatles and Village Green mono mixes are amazing but I already loved those records. The Piper mono mix takes a record I never quite loved and brings it finally to life.
re: odds and sods discs, I used to have an 'import' version of Relics that appended the Syd-era singles tracks. Wish I hadn;t sold that.
― hibernaculum (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 29 January 2013 16:35 (eleven years ago) link
Supposedly, Saucerful was also mixed in mono, but has yet to be reissued as such.
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 16:39 (eleven years ago) link
I don't get the hate for It Would Be So Nice, well Mason & Gilmour's at least, it's ace.
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
XP - I have a vinyl rip of Saucerful in Mono if you'd like one.

Grabbing this from D1m3 right now.
Pink Floyd Taft Auditorium Cincinnati, Ohio November 20, 1971
Last date of 1971 and last ever performances of Cymbaline and The Embryo, the latter of which is 28 MINS LONG, sound is apparently EX, pretty sure this will RULE..!

I would also like to hear that.

As amazing as I'm sure their arena/stadium spectacles were, I bet it would have RULED to have seen Floyd in a club or small theater.
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Wednesday, 30 January 2013 20:03 (eleven years ago) link
Will make a link tomorrow at work, where I have swole internets.

Floyd podcast well worth putting in your podcast reader: http://floydpodcast.com
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 31 January 2013 09:13 (eleven years ago) link
Okay, links are up & mails are sent, listening now myself. Quality is quite solid, def not an Aud EX in my book, but good for a 41 yr old audience recording.
― MaresNest, Thursday, 31 January 2013 10:56 (eleven years ago) link
I'd like the Saucer mono, not fussed about the rest..

I got a PM from somebody that I can't track down, the robot said the name was "Turkey In The Straw" coming from someplace in the clouds, can you send me a message again with an email address, thanx.

Guys, is 'Point Me at the Sky' really not in print on anything? Again regretting having sold that Australian version of Relics >:[

It's in print on permanent rotation in my head.

I'm listening to this Boston '77 show, and man, it's firecrackers ahoy! I find that phenomenon utterly random and baffling. No wonder Waters wanted to build a wall.
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Friday, 1 February 2013 00:22 (eleven years ago) link
That said, as a band, they were infinitely looser and more engaged/engaging than on record. I'd take live Animals over the studio version in a heartbeat.
