1-22-73
Any Port In a Storm (Godfatherecords), Great Lost Live Album (Nasty Music, 2cd & 3cd), Live At Southampton University Working Tapes (Empress Valley), My Struggle (Black Dog Rekords), Southampton University 1973 (no label, olive green discs), Swastika (Tarantura2000), & Valkyrie's Vigil: In the Old Refectory (Tarantura2000)

Nasty Music, EV, and Swastika are similar in sound and content. The glitch in the right channel during the second minute of Stairway is less evident on EV. Swastika has a tiny glitch in Dazed that's not found on the other two titles. It's sound has been amplified excessively over the others.
Black Dog Rekords has several glitches during songs that are not found elsewhere, and misses a few seconds after Stairway.
Godfatherecords' title is the least complete. Besides missing the drums in the introduction and removing (chopping out) some tape glitches, they removed six seconds of very good tape at the cut during Whole Lotta Love. The sound has some amplification but isn't excessive.
The "no label" version's speed has been adjusted to run a touch slower than the others. One of the glitches after Dancing Days has been chopped out. It's sound is very similar to Nasty Music's.
Taratura2000's release in Valkyrie is not an improvement over their release from two years ago. This release chops out a few glitches while others seem only suppressed.

SWASTIKA
TARANTURA2000 TCD67-1,2

Recording: Superb stereo soundboard (multi-track).
Source: The Old Refectory, Student Union Building, Southampton University, Southampton, England Jan. 22 '73.
Comments: Japanese bootleg. Japanese bootleg. Deluxe foldout cardboard case. Each disc is housed on its own spindle and "pops up" (like a children s pop up book) when the case is opened. Limited to 200 numbered copies. This is another stupid title and artwork in a series of Nazi-like descriptions and dedicated to hard collectors only rather than general collector since another few versions of this great show have been released.
