I also got a replacement disc from supplier years ago on the RS box.
Does anyone know about the new 1972 tour box set from Wonderland Records-8CD and 2 DVD and all soundboard sources?

i still hope that RS might re-press some of their earlier releases ( although it might not be a great money spinner to press the box sets again .. ) but some of their first Rolling Stones & Dylan releases are in dire need of a re-issue as they’re as scarce as hens teeth now.

I do remember that when I ordered mine years ago, my supplier at the time notified me that one of the discs was defective and he would be mailing out replacements from Rattlesnake after the fact, which he did. I could have sworn it was disc 2 of Vol. 3 (last disc in the set) but I could very well be wrong. So, unfortunately, it sounds like you may have gotten a set with the original defective disc. Don’t know whether you have any recourse for returns/replacements/refunds ?

Thanks for the interesting review. Speaking of the legendary ’72 tour & digital clicks, anyone have Rattlesnake’s 7-CD boxed set “Touring Party 1972″, or at least just Vol. 3 of it? I ask this since my factory-pressed silver original of the 7-CD boxed set that I recently managed to acquire has clicking/ticking noises late on Disc 6 (Disc 1 of Vol. 3 – RS 053) that start subtly approx. 3-5 minutes into Track 9 (‘Midnight Rambler’), then become very noticeable at the start of Track 10 (‘Bye Bye Johnny’) and persist irritatingly all the way to the end of the disc. Is it just mine (defective?), or does anyone have one that’s the same way? Any help will be greatly appreciated, as always – thanks.

Yeah, I’ve said it here before recently but how about Atlanta ’75 or Dallas ’69 (now upgraded) ? Or, perhaps Cleveland ’75 which has only ever been released on a 6-disc VGP set ? I’m putting this out there to Godfather as well as no label and DAC especially, who these days really do seem to be (mostly) recycling common shows constantly.

You make a good point LordBud. Your point about the unpressed shows that have been popping up has been heard and the rumor is that Godfather will be issuing them.

You know after a while the “well, it’s been some years since this concert has been available on pressed CD so newbies can now buy it” excuse gets old. And no you didn’t write that in your review — this time. How much more “definitive” is this version that VGP-40′s definitive version? Never even opened my Akashic In Exotic Honolulu. Beastone had this sale one time years ago…Beastone — for all your “Pro-CDR” needs…sorry GS, just venting against the unstoppable waste these REreREreREissue labels put us through. There are unreleased recently “discovered” audies from the Mick Taylor years on everyone’s harddrives. Why can’t the No Label label do us a favor and press them? Not gonna throw away my tax return on DAC’s WannaBeVinylGang releases…that’s for sure!!

If there were any imperfections, I would have mentioned them.

isd this Godfather title really without any digital clicks and/or without any hints of metallic sound due to poor equalization??
