Pink Floyd
Konserthuset, Gothenburg, Sweden
11th Nov 1970

(The Best of Album Pictures of Pink Floyd)

This is one of my all-time favourite recordings. This was one of the very first bootlegs that I obtained many years ago, and I have pain-stakingly re-mastered the best of Volumes 1 and 2 of these classic performances. The only track I have actually omitted is Atom Heart Mother because of the Speed problems. The end result is about as clean as you're ever going to get, with as many clicks and pops removed (originating from the original release on vinyl), as well as hiss almost illiminated. The bootlegs on CD circulating are just the vinyl record copied onto CD.

The title of the opening track is the result of a mis-understanding of what is actually said. "My Lords, Ladies and Gentleman, Mister Nicholas Mason", the last part sounding like "The Librest Spacement Monitor"!

The venue and date of this concert is also not certain, and there are a few other dates that can be considered:
- an often considered date and venue is on 06-02-1971 at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

- however most people say it is 11-11-1970, because of the show in Hamburg 3 days after, had a similar version of "The Embryo" at Ernst Merck Halle, Hamburg, Germany. I used to think this was from 12th December at the Roundhouse, Dagenham, but have decided that 11th Nov now seems more appropriate.

Track Details:

Disc 1:
1. Corrosion (The Libest Spacement Monitor)
2. Embryo
3. Fat Old Sun
4. Green is the Colour (taken from "Command Performance" and hiss slightly reduced)
5. Atom Heart Mother (speed corrected - as best as possible)
6. A Saucerful of Secrets
7. Blues #

# Note: The last 2 tracks may not actually be from the same concert as the rest of this album, but have been included because they were on the original Vinyl release.
