I’ve always liked Highland’s ‘Holes In The Sky’, but got Sirene’s ‘Hamilton ’75′ just last week, and prefer the latter. The source tape is the same, but the fact that the bass frequencies have a place in the Sirene set means the whole things sounds ‘warmer’, to my ears. The crowd is not so grating either, although Mason’s bass-drum sounds rather like ‘knocking’ on the tape at times. The repair/ edit on the tansition from ‘Breathe (reprise)’ to ‘Great Gig…’ is all but seamless on the Sirene, whilst on the Highland one has to change CD; even uploaded onto iPlayer there are still several seconds of silence between the final track of CD1 and first on CD2 of the Highland.

I use to own the Highland version of this show named HOLES IN THE SKY. HAMILTON ‘75 was recommended by someone else when Sigma released the June 17th ‘75 set. I managed to sell the Highland copy and got this one to replace it. HAMILTON ‘75 is an increadible set, extremely recommended for even the casual PF fan. The sound is crispy and the tape hiss is minimal (almost absent). It’s a great addition to my collection and I’m very very pleased with it.
