This an excellent release from the Harvested Label. There are particularly good performances of Fat Old Sun, Embryo, Set the Controls & Astronomy Domine. Also the early version of Echoes has the crowd clapping with the rhythm just before the echoe sounds start, and a noticeable feedback buzz in the middle.

Even though this is a Harvested release, I still found that there was still far too much hiss, so I have reduced this considerably to leave a much cleaner and clearer recording. Also at the end of Echoes & Pink Blues there were numerous tiny gaps in the sound which have now been repaired. Finally there was a bad tape join in Astronomy Domine which has been made much better.
