Notes: Lineage: audience tape recording (unknown gear) -> Maxell XLII C-90 -> Sound Forge -> FLAC This newly-uncovered recording is more complete than the Highland CD version, which was seeded on Dimeadozen not long ago. Highland probably decided to maximize profits by cutting costs and restricting the material to a single CD. Some run-throughs of Colours of the Rainbow which were not on the Highland CD are included here. Great little story behind this one: Zombiwoof got this tape from someone who claimed to have been the janitor working at the Lititz facility during the time Yes was hanging out in the Pennsylvania countryside, rehearsing for their soon-to-start 1977 world tour. The janitor claims he got more than 16 hours of tapes of the rehearsals from the garbage can! Zombiwoof has gone back to see if he can find this person and the other 14.5 hours. Keep your fingers crossed, but don't hold your breath... except for the 30-year-old garbage smell!

Notes: Yes Pre-tour Rehearsals Expanded and More Complete Lititz, PA 1977 Lineage: audience tape recording (unknown gear) -> Maxell XLII C-90 -> Sound Forge -> FLAC This recording is more complete than the Highland CD version, which was seeded on Dimeadozen not long ago.

Some run-throughs of Colours of the Rainbow which were not on the Highland CD are included here. Great little story behind this one: Zombiwoof got this tape from someone who claimed to have been the janitor working at the Lilitz facility during the time Yes was hanging out in the Pennsylvania countryside, rehearsing for their soon-to-start 1977 world tour.

Keep your fingers crossed, but don't hold your breath... except for the 30-year-old garbage smell! Overall quality of this recording is better than Highland's CD, which was probably taken from a higher generation copy of the source. Bass distortion is still evident in loud passages, and the automatic volume control kicks in at a few strange places, like the bells in Colours of the Rainbow. I tracked the recording in the order found on the cassette. The tape was in good shape when I made the digital transfer, using my less-than-perfect cassette deck and a Xitel Inport connection. The 24 bit/48 khz transfer was equalized to cut hiss and remove a nasty hum in the first part of Disk 2. Side one of the tape ran a little slow, and the pitch has been corrected. Those pops and clicks when the tape was stopped and restarted have been removed. Otherwise, this is pretty much the unaltered transfer of the recording, recoded to 16 bit/44.1 kHz for CD compatibility. Personally, I think the two sides of the tape may be reversed. Listen to disk two first, which ends with a rough version of And You And I, then go to the run-through on disk one, which is more refined. Yes plays Parallels better on disk one, and it has a more "finished" ending, which might mean it's the second run-through, too. Of course, the entire tape could be in no particular order of performance, so set your player on "shuffle" and have at it!
