And having praised Shades for some recent silvers, they issue more on CDR. I simply won’t buy CDRs now, not at all, and I know many of you don’t: is this not reflected in their sales figures?

“Exposed In The Light Of Landover (Godfather Records GR396/397) documents the June 9th, 1975 Landover show. Sigma’s Landover 1975 is the following night, June 10th…” OOPS! You’d have thought I’d have checked that most basic of details, would you not! It’s not as if I’m new to this. Thanks for the info.

Hmm, just got an update from a supplier who have a Legendary Brussels ’73 title, silver, on the “Nanker Nanker” label, catalogue number 003, now listed as a new release. I guess that could be DAC using a pseudonym, as it were.

Nope, I’ve not heard about that. I know that Idol Mind released the Brussels download (which I reviewed), but nothing about DAC releasing Brussels and Hampton. Hopefully I’ll hear about it soon…

To address the “where have DAC gone?’ question, I was told by a Japanese friend that they just released Brussels and Hampton, the two official downloads, in remixed (?) form though I haven’t seen them listed. You hear anything to that effect, Mr. Sparaco?

Exposed In The Light Of Landover (Godfather Records GR396/397) documents the June 9th, 1975 Landover show. Sigma’s Landover 1975 is the following night, June 10th, and only the first half of the show is in circulation. I’ll have a full review posted in a couple of days.

Like DLee, I am puzzled by the Sigma one disc Landover. I presume (well, hope!) the SQ is better than Godfathers ‘In The Light Of Landover’, but if it is an upgrade, why only half a show?

Great to see yet more Sabbath titles – Shades are starting to come good again aftet many interesting releases were relegated to CDRs, and No Label has yet to put a foot wrong, IMO.

Yes, the Rolling Stones is on the “no label” label. Speaking of the Stones, where has DAC gone?

February 18th the first gen tape of the June 4, 1976 Paris performance was posted on a well known tracker. It is an excellent audie with Keith Richards guitar quite audible all the way through. Except during Brown Sugar. Otherwise a truly enjoyable 1976 Rolling Stones audie. Hopefully this a No Label label CD set.

Sigma releasing just a 1-disc title, which they’ve described as having “TRULY AMAZING/PERFECT SOUND”, is somewhat surprising since they seem to have a preference of their releases having at least 2 discs – in fact, all of their releases have been at least 2 discs, w/ the notable exception of their very first title, which was “BBC Archives 1974″ (Sigma 1). “An Hour With Pink Floyd” (Sigma 26) can’t actually be considered another exception since it includes a DVD disc coupled w/ its CD.
