Pink Floyd: Boston 1973 (TomP Remaster of -better- Joe Maloney Aud) FLAC

superior to the PRRP?

(Maloney > KRW_CO > TomP Remaster)
Boston Music Hall
Boston, MA
1973-03-14
Analog Master > WAV > FLAC

This is an improved source to the two remasters which came from an earlier KRW_CO transfer ~2005, prior to a fresh KRW_CO
transfer from the original Maloney Master in 2007:
Changes made (Nero 8)
- Converted to true mono, using better sounding right channel (disk 1) and left channel (disk 2)
- Fixed the tape flip at 10:27 on Track03 seamlessly joined original Track04 (at 10.27 if you're interested)
- Fixed the rough transition between tracks 04 & 05
- Fixed the applause cut between tracks 13 & 14
- Fixed more than 2000 volume fluctuations
- Very slight EQ, +1dB bass & +2dB treble, much less than you can do with amp tone controls
- Added flac tags for digital streamer replay, note altering files in any way will destroy these
- Minor re-tracking

Quality: Worth an "historic" A+ as (IMHO) possibly the best sounding recording from 1973

OU: The PRRP from the 2005 rip remaster was recently posted elsewherehere and I was surprised it sounded inferior compared to the raw new 2007 rip. PRRP omitted removed the Dime info credit plus crucially the fact that the recording is mono so the only audio information they were remastering.
As with many old recordings on this tape deck, the left and right channels extracted on a stereo deck sound slightly different, so I've restored it back to true mono using the better sounding of the channels (right on CD1 and left on CD2) and then fixed the constantly varying volume level plus a few other fixes.
For me now, this is IMHO the very best quality recording from the 1973 tour.
