Notes In Rainbow Light (}{eywood/Wromanus multi-source comp)
Well here we go.
The first completely complete version of the famous 4th Rainbow show. I assembled this with multiple master tapes provided to me by WRomanus. I've seen versions of the first set fixed (Best And The Rest Of Tour 72) but I was never happy with the segues. As far as it goes this is the most complete this show is going to get. The only thing I didn't include was the first 20 seconds of the beginning, as this is just mic noise as the taper sets up his gear. These tapes are of varying qualities and generations, but I've done my best to make the transitions painless. I used NR and hiss reduction only when it was necessary, mostly during the tune ups. I stereo spatialized everything not from Best Of Tour 72 so it would sound more like that does.
The abbreviations for the master tapes are as follows:
BOT72 = Best Of Tour 72. 1st pressing pristine vinyl.
MC = Master Clone - A 2nd gen copy of what I believe to be taper 2. Not that tonally brilliant, but a good clean recording, for the most part complete.
FS = Franco S., a big Italian collector living in Germany. Same original source as MC
N = Nostrum, coming from WRomanus and Yogaman Collections.
JG = From Jason G. USA. From this source only the phrase "this is Echoes", because it was much more audible on this version. Probably taper 1.
ACR = Atomic Crow Recording - this version is pretty much the same as MC, but claims to be 4th gen. It contains portions not on MC, so I used it as a patch. A little distortion and some NR artifacts made me not use this as the basis.
