Hollywood Bowl Show from `72!

Discs (1) and (2) utilise the second recording (Rec.2). This is a complete, excellent, dynamic tape from the audience. It most recently appeared on Crackers on the Zeus label. The only weakness with the Zeus release is the bass which had a lot of rumble and distortion present. The worst is in “One Of These Days” where the bass overloaded the rest of the music and made the track almost unlistenable. Sirene, by comparison, have tackled this issue by smoothing the bass line and diminishing its volume. “One Of These Days” on this new release doesn’t have the problems on the Zeus and sounds phenomenal. It’s clear and powerful and one of the most effective versions captured on tape.

Discs (3) and (4) contain the first tape (Rec.1), the one that surfaced many years ago and is the source for the famous three LP set Crackers on TARKL(3969). It differs from the first tape source by emphasising the top end, not having any significant dropouts or cuts and by not being complete. This taper missed the opening of the show and ”Breathe” was edited from a soundboard from the February 20th Rainbow show. Sirene were able to find a virgin copy of the LP since there really is no evidence of its origin.
