OU Notes (on rec 2): Back in 2006 I transferred this unknown gen tape from my collection (sent to me by Rory B. from Australia back in 1997), and archived the FLACs I made to DVD-R, but didn't really do anything more with it after that. I had to double-check my old emails to make sure I had the right fileset, and not someone else's! I believe tracks 1-5 are from Rec. 1, and tracks 6-10 are from Rec. 2.
I've made no changes to this recording other than the speed-correction, done via the pitch control on my tape deck. I think I may have used multiple speed-correction values for different parts of the tape, in which case I probably did multiple recording "passes" which were then edited together at the sample level. (However, there's some variation on the original tape, and the speed still isn't 100% perfect all the time.) I believe there was also repeated material across tapesides, which I spliced back together. Everything else is exactly the same as on the tape I received. FLAC tags were added in August 2009.
Spectrum is clean all the way up (which should come as no surprise, since this is taken directly from cassette), with a discrete spike around 15k, possibly suggesting a Hi-Fi gen, leakage from a TV's flyback transformer in the vicinity, or something else that would generate a pitch in that area. I make no warranties about the sound quality; the Rec. 1 is not nearly as good as other copies, and may be irrelevant to most folks. But the Rec. 2 doesn't seem to have the ringing on Interstellar Overdrive, so I'm guessing this might not come from Bernard White's reel. It's far, far hissier than BW's tape, but sounds a bit more natural and "raw" to my ears.

I must thank you again for all the terrific work you do. The venues are reversed in this post. Turns out that 1970-10-17 - San Rafael, CA are tracks 1 through 4 and Plumpton are tracks 5 through 10.
Here are the the notes from the "Pepperland Master" (I live a few miles from there and it is a favorite recording of mine):
Pink Floyd - 1970-10-17 - Pepperland Auditorium, San Rafael, CA - AUD
Master Tape (Speed Corrected)
Disc 1 - 79.19
101 Power Loss Problems 16.05
102 Astronomy Domine 6.47
103 Fat Old Sun 12.59
104 Cymbaline 12.32
105 Atom Heart Mother 21.32
106 The Embryo 9.22
Disc 2 - 51.11
201 Green intro & Tune-ups 1.25
202 Green Is The Colour 3.23
203 Careful With That Axe 12.27
204 Set The Controls 13.15
205 Saucerful Of Secrets 20.38
This is sourced from the Master Tape, via a DAT 4 gen tape.
I've had this recording for quite awhile but rarely listened
to it, due to the fact that it runs a bit fast. Well, I have
finally decided to fix the speed problem. I hope you like the
results.
Though the source recording has some minor problems (minor sonic
bumps and some hiss - more so on Disc 2), this is a superb, clear
sounding recording and is a definite upgrade to 'Best Of The
Pepperland Tapes'.
