Comments:

U.K./European Tour
January 10-December 6, 1969

This is one of my favorite Floyd performances and recordings of all times. The source is
the VPRO station master tape which was transferred directly to CD, of which I have a clone.
Tne running time is just over 80 mins which wouldn't allow it to fit onto one CD. For the
Harvested release, I edited down "Teatime," cutting about 1 minute of silence (actually
the ambience of the hall and milling of the crowd) enabling it to be played as one
uninterrupted piece. The original files exist as 2 long tracks, one for each set. In
Cool Edit Pro, I balanced some of the audio levels and indexed all the tracks. No noise
reduction was applied at all (none was needed).

For the 1st time, I am also including the original wave files that were clones from the
master reels for anyone who is interested in the original, untouched recording. These
files are in FLAC although the original Harvested tracks are in their original archived
SHN format.

Enjoy!
