It’s generally a quiet month for releases but ..
Empress Valley have returned with three new Rolling Stones releases – all from the Perth concerts of October / November 2014.
The first is “Black Swan” – a 4 disk set featuring different versions of the same show, October 29th, 2014.
Disks 1 and 2 are a matrix of various IEM tapes and an audience recording alongside.
Disks 3 and 4 are of an excellent audience source (Cardioid / MK4 Master) Recording.
The second set is “Windsurfer” from the show on the 1st of November, 2014.
Same set up; Disks 1 and 2 are a matrix of various IEM tapes and an audience recording alongside.
Disks 3 and 4 are of an excellent audience source (Cardioid / MK4 Master) Recording.
Finally, “2 Days” complete is an 9 CD collection of the first two sets all together with a bonus disk containing soundcheck material for the 2 shows mentioned.
The Beatles get a look in through the drought with Archive Recordings 1964. A label made compilation of the best of the bootleg tracks from this year. As Apple have fixed the copyright laws surrounding their tapes, extending the rights to cover 70 years after the recordings were made, there was apparently no reason to compile a collection themselves but ever economic, the bootleggers have put together their own wishlist and put this set together instead.
