Remastering notes (from MOB): The rough recording was already very good, but needed some restoration and cleaning before being spread worldwide. Indeed, due to the age of the mastertape, a lot of crackles, tape warble and level fluctuations were present on the rough digital transfer.
These have been manually cleaned as much as possible. Also, the rough version had a lot of clipping that needed to be corrected. Some frequencies with musical content were buried in the original transfer, therefore a slight EQ was applied in order to bring clarity to the recording. There were some abrupt cuts on the mastertape (two cuts during Breathe, one cut at the beginning of Us And Them and one cut in the middle of OOTD, not to mention numerous "pause" operations by the taper during some tunings and applause between songs).
These have been restored by editing, so that the recording is now presented in a continuous way, with smooth transitions.

Notes by PE:
Almost like David Vincent, it all started with a torrent which had attracted my attention : Gong 1973-06-19, a gig at Roger Salengro's salle - Lille, France, chez les ch'tis. Contact was made with the seeder (Sous-Marin) who turned out to be the taper of this show. Sewing up, and after a few [sexual favors] I learned that he had recorded the Campus radio show AM original broadcast (1970) : Pink Floyd 1970-01-23 at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées.
I therefore encouraged him to torrent this recording. Then, on his website, I saw a date which intrigued me : Pink Floyd 1972-07-12,Lille. .... Lille? le pays des ch'tis œuf course ! but as far as I knew no recording of this particular gig were reported !...
With this new contact we discussed via emails until I learned that the taper (named ZEF) actually taped this gig and that SousMarin owns a mp3/128Kbits recording of this show.
Then began the quest for the "lossless" source of this recording... Days passing, a lot of [sexual favors] again and weeks later, an email just arrived, ZEF replied to Sous-Marin: I had a small tape recorder, the later Telefunken (R.I.P blessed tape recorder)connected to an external microphone. I digitalized the tape with Audacity (version 1.2.6) using default settings. Audacity detected my recording as being in mono. I did not correct the file or apply any filters. This was a "rough" transfer direct from tape to HD.

Bingo! we finally got it:)

Thanks for the new old show. I just listened to the whole show while driving to Atlantic City and back today. I really enjoyed hearing it. I really love the early live versions of DOSTM. Good work!
