    Comments: Assorted stuff from 3 different shows in '69 and '70. Poor recording.

    I only like Cymbaline. The first two tracks are a bit better in sound quality than the rest.

    This Italian production is well-packaged, and free of disc noise and hiss. I belive that some kind of sound processing was used to clean up the tapes; unfortunately, this has resulted in the loss of some music. Tracks 1 and 2 claims to be from the Rotterdam Pop Festival of June 28 '70. The particularly fine performance of Axe sounds like the same one as featured on the 'Barrett's Revenge' LP, albeit from a different location in the audience! The above mentioned loss of music becomes a problem on the last two tracks, almost dropping out completely on the second Axe.

    I'm not sure if the Interstellar overdrive is from 8/8/69. I just got a tape that has the full show, and conatins a really good, and longer version of Int Overdrive (much more than the 6:00 (or so) on this one. If it is the same version, then it obviously has been cut.
