PINK FLOYD
The Darker Side Of Rising Sun - Japan 1972 Chronicles [The Godfather Box 24 G/H, 2CD]
Cold Side Of The Bow – Osaka 2nd Night. Live at the Festival Hall, Osaka; March 9, 1972. Very good FM/audience recordings.
relayer67, collectorsmusicreviews.com:
There is one main source for the second night in Osaka, Sigma has released it prior on the Assorted Lunatics (Sigma 40) and the encore Saucerful Of Secrets appeared on Missing Pieces: Japan Tour 1972 (Sigma 34). The sound quality is very similar to the Sigma, if anything the Godfathers has less hiss making it a bit clearer but the difference is minimal. The very low levels make this show hard to listen to, I prefer to listen to recordings like this at night when the noise of the day is much less.
The bonus track on the first disc is an alternate mix of Echoes, it sounds as if they increased the levels to make the music louder, it also makes the hiss more prominent and since the levels are so low to begin with it did not make sense to master the whole recording that way, I am guessing that is the reason for the bonus track. I also agree with wgpsec in his assertion that A Saucerful Of Secrets is from a different source, it is much more enjoyable a recording, there is some audible audience chatter also.
