Oh, sorry, Eric99 – I made an error, which is not unusual for me. I had forgotten that my DSotM CD-R of the show lacked only the “Echoes” disc and not the (pre-)WYWH/Animals tracks, which I’ve now just been reminded by a Floyd site that I regularly visit apparently doesn’t exist with the rest of the show at the same outstanding sound quality. So unfortunately I guess that means that it’s likely that those tracks (SOYCD, etc.) probably are from another recording of inferior sound quality. But at least DSotM & Echoes should still be superb & much-anticipated.

Actually, I’m somewhat surprised that the Floyd show took so long to have its outstanding sound quality discovered by a boot label & then released on factory-pressed silver, or at least commercially. Much like “Watching the World Upon The Wall” (Earls Court 1981-06-16), also by Godfather, although in that case the non-commerical CD-R of it was apparently so poorly-circulated among Floyd fans that it even took me a few years to finally find someone who had it & was willing to snail-mail it to me via a CD-R trade.

O.K., so where could the SOYCD suite suddenly come from?

Eric99, well, the non-commercial CD-R version that’s been circulating among Floyd fans has actually been around for at least a few years, as I’ve had my DSotM part of it, acquired via snail-mail trading, for at least a few years – the sound quality is absolutely superb for just an audience recording.

Now thats a pleasant surprise. Could this show have come from a hoarder who finally gave in?

You’re possibly correct – I received great sounding new transfer of Landover last month and I am almost sure Godfather used this to produce their title.

The Floyd Landover 1975-06-09 show should be of outstanding sound quality, and its performance of DSotM is probably the longest-ever known recording of “Dark Side” ever – almost approx. 64 minutes long (in fact, the only DSotM that I know of over 60:00, w/ Highland’s version of the Vienna 1973-10-13 show being just behind at approx. 59:48), w/ the track ‘Money’ being especially lengthy.
