| Notes: | KSAN-FM simulcast Lineage: 1st gen Maxell XLII cassette 1988/1989 > *Technics RS-B965-M > Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 > Reaper v4.61 & ClickRepair 3.9.3 > FLAC (16bit/44.1kHz) - xACT used to create FFP This is a 1st gen mono off-air recording of a KSAN-FM broadcast of this well known abbreviated performance. It's possible that the off-air recording was made in 1973. On that day people watching the broadcast on TV could tune into KSAN on the radio for better sound. However, the inclusion of Here Comes Santa brings the likelihood that this is a recording from the simulcast into serious doubt. It seems most likely that this was an independent broadcast of the audio recorded for the show. Intriguingly, it is also possible that the audio was recorded independently of the video. Here Comes Santa (a complete version unlike my December 2015 release) seems to just be a name made up by collectors. As I have mentioned previously, it resembles The Christmas Song. In Here Comes Santa the silver bells on Santa's sleigh "sound so homosexual" and on The Christmas Song they "sound so gay". We know for certain that The Christmas Song was recorded during the Zabriskie Point Sessions thanks to Wromanus and I think it is likely that Here Comes Santa was as well. Perhaps the band had a ZP tape with them when they went to the US and slotting it into the recording was an impromptu joke. The master off-air recording was made by a guy in San Francisco using a reel to reel recorder. The taper wasn't an out-and-out Floyd fan and had various master tapes and reels from a number of bands that he was happy to share. I am not sure whether this 1st gen was recorded with Dolby B but suspect it was. I left Dolby in the off position, recorded in stereo and dropped the left channel because the hiss was stronger and it was recorded at lower volume. Like most FM broadcasts, this recording has gone through automatic leveling and limiting and the quiet sections are therefore often at almost the same level as the loud sections. The recording has various broadcast noises, such as static, ticks and pops so I exported my initial transfer from Reaper to WAV and used ClickRepair - automated, declick 40, decrackle 40, simple method; a non-destructive approach to removing many artefacts. In AHM there is some static at 2m11s and the taper appears to have momentarily pressed the pause button at 6m16s. You might also notice a background hum which I decided to not address in the spirit of keeping this release relatively raw. Returning to Reaper, I applied gain of 1.27dB to side A and 2.52dB to B. Side B is noticeably quieter than A (I transferred the whole tape at the same level). Side B begins with Grantchester Meadows and also suffers from a reduced frequency response. I don't doubt the provenance of my tape but think it seems likely that side B was recorded with different equipment. Customary expert speed correction advice was provided by goldenband. AHM, Cymbaline, GM: +1.81% GITC, CWTAE, STC: +1.34% My 2nd gen cassette, which littlepieces released as Bovine Broadcast, was sourced from this 1st gen and my new transfer is much stronger. Littlepieces wrote some interesting notes for his release which are worth reading if you would like to study this recording. My old tape shows significant generation loss, illustrating the downward step that can sometimes occur in a single generation and the difference a high quality playback deck can make. | |||||

| Notes: | (HRV CDR 034)Running Time: Approx. 60 mins "We decided to create a CD from the audio of our KQED DVD release because we felt that, after much research, an audio upgrade was warranted. We only recently revisited our original source after several FM (or VPro) recordings surfaced on Yeeshkul. Some notes from MOB: We had 2 sources to choose from: one source from a U-Matic TV station master, the other source from a mysterious FM broadcast. The FM source was said to be in stereo, but a quick analysis clearly shows there is absolutely no stereo separation on the instruments. Further analysis of the FM source reveals that the fake stereo effect is mainly due to multiple analog generations and fluctuations in the tape channels stretching. The fact is that the original recording was done in mono, and that there's no evidence of any true stereo mix of that performance. The FM source has also the typical alterations from FM processing (levelling and limiting), and is riddled with pops and crackles, not even mentioning a 1.7% deviation from the real speed. On the other hand, the U-Matic source has the original mono recording with a very stable and correct speed, along with excellent spectral characteristics (as you could expect from a station master). A close comparison between the 2 sources shows some evidence of the "pureness" (in terms of sound fidelity) of the U-Matic tape compared with the multiple analog gens of the other source. It is not easy to describe it with words, let's just say that if you listen to the cymbals sound during some quiet parts, you hear "dziing" on the U-Matic source, while it's "tching" on the FM source… ;-) Therefore, the remastering work was performed on the U-Matic source. It consisted in the following main activities: adjust the levels and EQ in order to bring clarity to the raw recording, get rid of the annoying low frequency hum that is present most of the time, and manually clean all the little imperfections of the raw transfer (mainly pops and drop-outs). It has to be noted that, while Atom Heart Mother, Cymbaline, Green Is The Colour and Careful With That Axe Eugene were rather well recorded by the KQED sound engineers, it was much more difficult to get a good sound for Grantchester Meadows and Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun. These two tracks seem to have been captured differently by the KQED engineers and there were some bad sounding sections difficult to correct or improve (on every source we heard, these two songs are always with inferior sound quality than the four others). A possible explanation could be the specific instruments settings: acoustic guitars and vocals for Grantchester Meadows, and a lot of middle frequencies (gong, toms, lack of bass) for Set The Controls. Too bad KQED staff was not able to do a better job when recording and mixing these two tracks. (Ed: Perhaps these to tracks were recorded 1st and then adjustments/corrections were made?)." | |||||
