Their debut, and best, Album imo.
That's a great soundtrack album. Did you download the MP3 version? Did anyone, ever, download an MP3 version? :lol:

Over time I accumulated several download "vouchers" which were of no use to me. I offered them FOC on here, and someone actually took them off my hands :eek: So yes there is one person out there using them :)Quote:

Nice one. I spent some time in Canterbury in my mid twenties, and picked up on the Canterbury Scene. Initially Soft Machine and then Caravan.Quote:

How about sound quality? Well they give it a go, half-speed mastering, and 'back-to-front' pressing (supposedly to minimise end-of-side distortion). But while the sq isn't bad, it does sound to me a bit 'closed in' and not very dynamic. Like what you might expect from a fifty year-old live recording.
Can't fault the playing though.
I had to follow it with this. The original and best :)

Just time to get in a bit more old Floyd before Mrs. P gets back.

Yes, if he'd made a couple more like that he might have got promoted to Major :)Quote:

Got that one too but I could never get into it.Quote:

Sorry you weren't that taken with Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets. I feel responsible as I raved over the CD set:Quote:

That's the only album of his that I have. Not played it in ages, and it'll have to wait another couple of days as I'm off somewhere else till Wednesday night.Quote:
