I have no information on this at all. It comes with no text files. It does have cover art but they don’t list the source either. It definitely sounds different from the JTT source and the track timings are different.

I’d never seen this show before, thanks. I would agree with the txt file that the sound quality is fair/good. Thanks Mat.

Ummh, this must be one of the final caledonia soul orchestra lineup gigs. I always associate these with ’73. d/ling now but judging from setlist must be. Anyway very different to the US small group gigs from later in ’74.
anyway d/l is running and ‘it’s too late to stop now’!!
Looking forward to checking this one out
Cheers from a rainy London
ps T.U.B.E. recently posted the truly FAB 1991 BBC Omnibus programme as a JTT DVD. This is an absolure MUST SEE for any Van fan. Of course those mad lunatics at the BBC have never seen fit to re-broadcast. It is packed full of live performances (uncut) and refuses to make all those tiresome formulaic mistakes so beloved of music docu makers.
I’d give it a straight 10/10 if the usually excellent JTT hadn’t decided to encode it as lossy dolby digital (256KB) instead of proper PCM.
My own raw transfer is PCM and fits on DVD5 so I couldn’t suggest a reason why. however I only had mono VHS in 1991 and the broadcast was ‘NICAM’ stereo. I just cannot understand why music quality has to be diminished just because you’ve got pictures as well!!
Anyway if you haven’t already, just get it and watch it. One of the best music films ever made IMHO

Cheere Mat
How on earth did i miss this one the first time around? Must have been dead links from an early post surely.
You didn’t. In fact you commented on the post.

Umhh, stranger and stranger. Thanks for the opportunity to just grab it again, rather than empty the cupboards!
