Ok, then for the first time we´ll hear Offenbach in very good sound !!
Yes, the Offenbach is from the vinyl source.
Sirene released this show two times. The first on Offenbach 1971 (Siréne-023) and the second on Offenbach Master (Sirene-225).
And maybe I’m not remembering correctly, but I’m able to recall Siréne/Sigma previously releasing the Offenbach 1971-02-26 show once in the past – as “Offenbach Master” (Siréne 225).
I don’t know about any possible edits/cuts/fade-ins/fade-outs/etc., but at least I do know that the Sigma version of the Saint Ouen radio broadcast has all the tracks that the Highland Project 2-pro-CD-R “RTL Radio Broadcast” version has – incl. ‘Childhood’s End’, ‘Blues’, etc. So it appears to be complete, I think, but I’m not sure. And as for the Offenbach ’71 show, I thought that only the 2 bonus tracks at the end were from the LP source, but I suppose I could easily be wrong.
And while you’re answering Charlie’s question….anything known about the sound-quality of St-Ouen and the fact if It’s complete, perhaps?
I’ve been waiting for ages for this to be released by Sigma!
And a beautiful Godfather-box on the way; no money left for the officially released Wall-set, I think…
Hi Gerard, new Offenbach 1971 will be from the complete vinyl source?
