Oh he came back last year this time with the actual Master.
The video above was from 6 years ago.

"This is a tape for producing LP records in a certain country. The previous post was a copy of this tape."

Seems like just a 2 channel tape so it's actually a copy of a master tape. Sometimes I see multitrack tapes on eBay for $8000 or more. Those are the real master tapes. The multitrack stems are already digitalized of course so they get rid of the old analog recordings. It's a nice collectors item but it's hard to get the right equipment to play those multitrack tapes. Only playable on old equipment.

24-track master tape.

Yeah it's a copy of the actual master. It's merely the master that was sent out to the record pressing
companies to produce the albums. So you could say it's a 2nd generation master. The actual master
is probably something else to listen to. It would also include a lot of spliced tapes since it would be the master
of all masters. I noticed the white tape splice in the image you provided.

I had watched a video a while ago about master tapes and the tape shedding and sticky tapes.
But yeah you need the old equipment to play them on.

You can start at 0:40. He talks about the tape that was used for splicing at 6:30.

I've been on a bit of a 60s music streak lately

[chuft]

Man I haven't heard that song in (nevermind) years.


You might enjoy this album of 60's covers by The Primitives.


Meanwhile here's some psychedelia from John Kay before he was in Steppenwolf.

I first heard this song on a vinyl album I bought long ago:

[BRBFBI]

One of my all time favorites.

[chuft]

Interesting. Never heard of them.

[BRBFBI]

They were quite popular inside Russian/Ukrainian speaking areas.

I do so far, thanks :) I don't recognize most of these, but I like the ones I've listened to.

Yeah I think they picked more obscure songs for this project. Or songs that were hits in Britain maybe but not the US.

All of their music is 60's influenced so you might want to check out their other stuff. My favorite band overall.

Looks like this film is coming back to theaters in April. Tons of Pink Floyd videos are being purged including the actual one from the film of this song. This is somebody's edited version that supposedly improves the sound. Looks like they edited out a minute from the rather slow intro, no great loss without the film to go with it. Looks like they uploaded this after the purge a few days ago, who knows how long it will stay up.

Hmmm, I wonder if whoever owns the rights to that are trying to cash in on the interest
for Becoming Led Zeppelin the new documentary which opened on Feb 7th to IMAX. It's made $11 million so far.
