BLIGHTY/MASTER
Led Zeppelin live on June 20, 1969 at City Hall,
Newcastle-On-Tyne,
Newcastle, England and March 22, 1969 at Mothers Club,
Birmingham, England.
These two newly surfaced audience recordings were released
in early 2003
on the bootleg CD set "Blighty" on the Tarantura label.
The original
Newcastle source has noticeable tape hiss which was treated to
Tarantura's
now familiar "32 bit remastering" process by Cool Mix
Man and crew. The
side effect of this heavy-handed reworking of the sound is a loss
of some
high end and a compressed, tinny sound quality. Shortly after the
bootleg
was released, these recordings began circulating in their
original,
unaltered form direct from the master tapes. No equalization or
sound
processing has been used. Lineage = Master>Digital
Master>CD-R
These two discs contain the shorten compressed WAV files
of both sources.
Both versions were extracted using EAC in secure mode with proper
offset
correction. The WAV files were then converted to shn using the
mkw Audio
Compression Tool. A copy of mkwACT is included in a Zip file for
use to
decompress to WAV. In order to fit everything on two 80 minute
CD-Rs, the
files are organized like this:
Disc
One
Disc Two
Blighty Disc One shn
Files
Master Disc One shn Files
Master Disc Two shn
Files
Blighty Disc Two shn Files
Artwork, Text and mkwACT
The reason for this is that Tarantura's version is roughly
two minutes
shorter overall. I haven't yet found where all this time was lost
but
perhaps other trainspotters can determine the difference. Whether
you
prefer your Zep in original recipe or extra-crispy, they are both
here for
your enjoyment.
A special note of thanks to all the folks responsible for
the recording,
preservation and unearthing of these treasured documents. It's
always
wonderful to hear new material from the greatest rock and roll
band ever,
Led Zeppelin!
Blighty- Tarantura TCD-13-1/2
Newcastle City Hall Newcastle England June 20, 1969
Limited 200 only, no numbered.
Tarantura original special digi-pack & slip case.
The sound is from very good ~ excellent audience source.
Although low-pitched sound breaks in some places, it is powerful
tone
quality. I want you to hear this with large volume. This show is
the sound
source of a first appearance.
A bonus tracks (Mothers Club Birmingham England March 22, 1969)
is very
clear and speedy. This one of sound quality is still more
wonderful.
