I have several versions of the Montreux 1971 Floyd recording, unfortunately I have no plans on buying this latest version
With the demise of the Yeeshkul group, it will be interesting to see where Sigma goes with their Floyd releases. I wish the label would have focused more of the 1967-1969 recordings more. While they released a handful of titles featuring music from this era, there was definitely recordings that they should have considered.
Yes – I agree. But didn’t Yeeshkul, which I think would make a great name for a dog or cat, shut down as far back as the end of February?
Unfortunately it did – Though thankfully, that hopefully opens a few more doors for the bootleggers that count.
That new Sigma 317 is one I’m very much looking forward to. Even the front cover (artwork) alone is exciting.
As for Sigma 317…WOW…I don’t remember this show ever sounding so awesome in terms of sound quality! So clear, crisp, & clean…almost as if it were an SBD. I certainly have absolutely no regrets at all for ordering Sigma 317.
Somebody here may disagree, but I actually think Sigma 317 deserves an “ULTIMATE SOUND” rating rather than the “TRULY PERFECT SOUND” description that Lighthouse used. I don’t think it can be upgraded to noticeably any better. Sigma had already released their “Definitive Montreux 1971” 4CD (2 different “definitive” versions) way back in 2015 ( https://www.discogs.com/release/7840670-Pink-Floyd-Definitive-Montreux-1971 ).
