I actually did not download the recent Millard 6/25/77 recording. It came in 2 versions, one a flat transfer and one with remastering by dadgad. All of the Millard Zep recordings that have surfaced are from master cassette to DAT tapes done nearly 20 years ago so really do not have modern transfers. The quality of existing circulating sources of the Millard Zep tapes is so high, what we have found out is that there is no significant upgrades to these sources. Its really a testament to not only Millard’s recordings but the high quality of many of the copies he traded. Millard was certainly an audiophile
I plan on getting the Graf Zeppelin Celebratory Night for Badgeholding title that features both flat and dadgad versions.
Thanks for your detailed clarification, Relayer67. I agree about the high quality of Millard’s tapes. Quite extraordinary! I think I will seek out the Graf Zeppelin edition of this show you mentioned. In terms of sound quality, mastering, and artwork they are a hard label to beat.
The Argenteum Astrum website states that the first gen tape used for the new no label Zep 6/25/77 cd actually sounds inferior to circulating 2nd gen copies used for previous titles. Can anyone confirm or comment on this point? Cheers!
