Atom Heart Mother features brass and choir conducted by John Aldiss. The right channel was stronger throughout on Pete’s cassettes and after careful comparisons I decided to drop the weaker channel. This reduced the hiss levels significantly, solved phase correction issues (the tapes are shifted ~15 samples) and dealt with some dropouts. My version is much clearer than the raw version used for releases such as ‘Rise & Shine’ but is also more hissy. You would not think I have used the same tapes. Close to three years ago (this has truly been a slow burner) I did some preliminary work on Pete’s tapes with littlepieces. At the time we were tempted to switch the Dolby on on my deck to address the hiss. I found it didn’t work and the high end was pushed a long way down. The recording sounded much more subdued, like the versions that have previously circulated. Perhaps some EQ would work well in expert hands. The tapes were recorded with Dolby B on - the label confirms this. My thanks to goldenband for sending me his customarily thorough speed correction advice. AHM was essentially uncorrectable without major intervention as the pitch slides upward by nearly 3% over the course of the song. The rest of the show was largely fine or, where a change was required, relatively easy to fix. APB and ASOS have some issues, but the former was fixable and we concluded that the latter could be safely ignored. Unusually for this show, a lot of the tape runs a bit slow. That was surprising because most copies seem to trend fast. Speed corrections were applied varying between -3.23 to +1.92%. The most complex change was to Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast where three corrections were made utilising the long passages of sound effects. We left CWTAE and STC alone because they're both within 0.5% of the correct speed. ASOS was very strange indeed! First of all, Rick's organ pitch is unstable throughout the song. Goldenband kept hearing slight fluctuations, which suggests a possible power problem, but might be a tape problem. Usually we can rely on Rick for our pitch reference, but here it gets very dicey. The beginning of the song is close, within 0.5%, though probably a hair slow. Then we have non-pitched music until CV, which starts out at the right speed. There's a sudden tape speed drop but it seems to recover over the next 30 seconds, so we concluded no correction is needed. Then we get the power failure followed by the avant-garde piano playing. Someone then seems to be playing a variation on Celestial Voices, but either they're playing it in the wrong key - a semitone too high - or something very strange is going on. Pianos are never tuned sharp, as they can explode. Something doesn't make sense here, but maybe someone - David or Nick? - is just improvising a Celestial Voices variation in C minor, who knows. Another possibility, that the band was tuned very low for the whole show because of organ voltage problems, is too terrifying to contemplate! But David's voice doesn't sound off, so goldenband thinks it's just “a bit of weirdness”. Then the restart, and we seem to be going too slow yet again, but then over the next 10-15 seconds the tape speed creeps back up to normal. There is then another speed drop, followed by a recovery. By the time we reach David's second set of vocals we're probably about 1% fast, but then we go back to normal-ish. Throughout the restarted CV the pitch keeps slipping a bit, but the final cadence is roughly normal. Bottom line, it was best to leave ASOS alone. It's messy, but never goes too far from correct pitch. AHM starts out about -0.58% slow, but rises over the course of the song until it reaches about +1.75% fast; AHM Reprise is steady at +1.75% but the contrast with AHM would be jarring so we also left these songs alone. This raw transfer has some voltage/static spikes which could be relatively easily fixed but I decided to leave them in the spirit of keeping this release raw. I hope you enjoy it and a big thanks to Petef451 for lending me his tapes and letting me keep them for so long. Petef451 cassettes / Neonknight tape transfer, March 2015

Sometime in my first year there (not sure if it was 81 or 82) I noticed an advert on a noticeboard in the University's Student Union building by a guy offering rare tapes of Pink Floyd and a number of other bands. I bought this recording on a TDK AD C60 and C120 Cassette (see the photos) from the guy who turned out to be a post-graduate. From my recollection (and it is 27 years ago!) the tapes I got were from his first gen copy from the masters. They are definitely not from vinyl (you can just tell!!!) and it predates the CD or CDR bootleg era. Ironically I think the cassettes have survived well because I only played them a few times as I was more into Stones and Clapton at the time. I guess it could be as little as four or five times prior to me finally capturing them as digital files.I was prompted to transfer it to digital format by two things: 1) I downloaded a couple of the bootlegs from the same date via the internet and I thought, "This is not half as good quality as I remember my tapes being" 2) A friend was clearing out his loft (attic) and offered me a little used NAD tapedeck, so now I had no excuse not to investigate my hunch that I had a better copy of this recording The finished item is superb. I have really enjoyed getting back into this whole 68-72 Floyd era. I think the desire to get the best version of Sheffield 1970 out to the fan-base has made me go back and take an even greater interest in the legitimate and (ever expanding) bootleg stuff from this era. A final, but very important note. A big "thank you" to John Johnstone (a colleague from work) who suggested I offered up the raw WAVs of the tapes to the Harvested Team. What an excellent piece of advice! NOTES FROM MOB: Pete's tapes were in really good condition, despite their age. The original recording was done with mono equipment, and the music was well centered between the 2 channels of the tapes (generally, old tapes tend to have fluctuations between channels, even if the original recording is mono, but it was not the case here). The hiss was very stable throughout the tapes, with almost no sign of warble. The main problem with the recording was the speed. The tapes ran too fast, and the speed was not constant throughout the show (this is a well known problem of old analog tape recorders, very dependent on the battery levels fluctuations during a concert).

After dealing with the speed issues, I carefully applied slight EQ to enhance some particular frequencies that were buried in the original recording (probably due to the original recorder and mics characteristics). An important note is that I didn't try to dehiss the recording. As a result, this remaster still has a good amount of hiss. After all, this is a 2nd gen and you cannot have a significant reduction of hiss without degrading the music clarity. Moreover, I wanted to keep the sound as natural as possible, because the best sounding version of that concert until now was the highly processed "Disgusting Hardly Music", remastered from Pete's tapes too, but with a lot of NR applied. I wanted this new remaster to be a nice alternative to DHM: people who can't stand hiss and don't mind about digital NR artefacts can still enjoy DHM, while people who prefer unprocessed recordings should definitely adopt "Rise & Shine" (of course it's not striclty "unprocessed" because I corrected the speed, applied some EQ and carefully cleaned the drop-outs and tape flaws, but anyway this still sounds "natural", unlike the other versions I heard). As usual with all my remasters, I also manually cleaned every tape flaw that I could detect (cuts, small drop-outs, pops, crackles ...). Here are the comparisons we did with the other RoIOs from that concert: - "Allen's Psychedelic Breakfast" (from Circus Sun APSB 1270 A/B LP): full of vinyl clicks and pops - "A Psychedelic Night" (Triangle Records PYCD 038 & 039): this silver bootleg CD is muffled and denoised to death - "Alan's Psychedelic Christmas": 3rd or 4th gen from VHS, too dehissed - "Pink's Psychedelic Last Night" (Highland HL176): again, very processed (NR) - "Alan's Psychedelic Master Tape" (Ayanami-227): certainly not from mastertape (Ayanami often claims to have the masters while it's wrong) and over-processed - "1st Gen": this RoIO is the only other "unprocessed" version apparently circulating, but it sounds more distant than Pete's 2nd gen; I guess the title "1st gen" is not correct, it's more probably 2nd or 3rd gen. - "Disgusting Hardly Music" (FOS-CDR-001 ): music is very clear but NR artifacts are obvious To summarize, we think that this new release "Rise & Shine" has the following benefits: - it's the only Sheffield RoIO with "natural" sound (apart from the so-called "1st gen" which is sounding much more distant) - it's the only Sheffield RoIO with correct speed for all the tracks - it's the only Sheffield RoIO with the drop-outs and tape flaws corrected (in particular, you can check the very beginning of Careful's scream: the abrupt cut in the master recording is magically fixed ;-) ) Thanks to Pete for approaching us with this project and supplying us with the great source material.
