23 May 1968 (Paradiso, Amsterdam) is processed from an analog 1st gen tape of
the audience master. There was an early and a late show. The sound is
a little rough, but this is an audience tape from 1968. It's been heavily
booted (credited to various venues and dates) and the quality was
always C+. This isn't perfect, but significantly better. Mark/Swan Lee
did this one, he put weeks of work into it and the credit is all his.

Filler on CD1 was from the 5 May 1968 Rome Pop Fest. It still is, but we have
an upgrade. I recently got in a clone of a DAT taken from a rebroadcast of the
radio station's master tape. It doesn't get any better than that, so here it
is. The sound is superb. There isn't very much 1968 Floyd circulating at all,
and this is outstanding.

The filler on CD2 starts with Rome, 19 April 1968. These have circulated
widely too, but not always in this quality. (Kiloh used to have the
"Interstellar Overdrive" credited as 2/67 Dorothy Ballroom, Cambridge!) Then
there's a 9/68 French TV rendition of "Let There Be More Light." The qual is
spotty and it's hard to tell whether the band is lip-synching or singing live
to the backing track. It could be a little of both. The French audience are
meant to clap on cue -- they come in much too early and yet they're in tempo.
Strange. Anyway, it's rare and there was room, so here it is.

Finally, we have three songs from the "More" film. These are taken from video,
and the mixes used within the film are different from what's on the album. One
tune, "Seabirds" isn't even included. (I think there are a couple more non-LP
songs, but this is what I had handy.) Some of it's buried under dialogue,
unfortunately.
