Miles Davis Septet
09 Nov 1971
Chateau Neuf, Oslo, Norway
Received in trade.
This is what I know: This show was broadcast by Norsk Rikskringkastning TV (NRK) and was also an FM broadcast. I have two different sources for the radio broadcast and they don’t sound anywhere near as good as this.
There’s also an NRK webcast. Contrast clause(s): the video stream is here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=357067, and an audience recording here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=449047.)
As the audio quality is excellent (check samples), I wondered if my version of the recording was taken from the (lossy) web stream. However, TLH confirms that the tracks are “100% CDDA” (see details below). Additionally, I have included the Spectrum Analysis. Granted, I’m no expert on this, but there’s no obvious cut off at 18000-20000Hz.
