Lilies

lilies tv

One of the reasons I’m a physical media collector is that I always have access to the DVDs/Blu-rays that I own. I’m not subject to the whims of streaming services deciding which movies/TV series I can watch.

Lilies is a good example of this. It ran for but a single season (just eight episodes) on the BBC. As far as I can tell, it is not available to stream anywhere. Yet I can watch it anytime I want because I own it on DVD.

Not that I want to very often, but I could if I wanted to right now. Anyway, you can read my review of the series here.

I just got the above set and really haven’t formed an opinion yet, EXCEPT on the last disc. It is the same material as MEDDLER, but with all the music completely intact, no funny editing, none of Peel’s announcements, and in honest-to-God stereo! Someone mentioned this possibly happening due to the fact that about ten stereo copies existed, well I’m here to say that day has come!
They are real CD’s, and not CDR’s. Each is simply colored with a stamp naming and numbering each CD. Also the set itself is hand-numbered “312” of 1000.
There is a picture booklet included that is a collection of photographs, posters, and the like, including a snippet of an interview conducted by “ZZ”. Most of this I’ve seen before, including a shot of Gilmour and Waters during some of the Pompeii photography (I think they superimposed it in Echoes part I) As for a catalogue number, I’m sorry to say the only numerics aside from the edition numbers are numbers individual to each CD. -SEAMUS
I can state for sure that these are not from the stereo Meddler (which Harvested has since updated and treed as Meddled). -DAve.

Pink Floyd – BBC Transcription Disc (1970-1971)

Direct Transfer from Vinyl
by creamcheese

Story:
This is a little bit of nostalgy.
I bought this boot (I’m almost shure it’s a bout) when i was still very young.
It was played quite a lot then because, well, unissued song in superb quality you know (“never released on a pink floyd album” and all that shit).

Technical Mumbo Jumbo:
Now, after reactivating my good old turntable, now equipped with a Ortophon OM 10 Super cartridge, which -perhaps for the first time ever- is mounted properly (with E. Schˆn moulding tool), I decided to transfer this old treasure to 24/48 with my new Cambridge Audio 540 P phono preamp directly to my RME HDSP 9632.
I have slightly declicked it afterwards.

Music:

  1. Richard Skinner
  2. Embryo (1970-07-16)
  3. John Peel (1970-07-16)
  4. Green is the Colour (1970-07-16)
  5. Careful with that Axe, Eugene (1970-07-16)
  6. Richard Skinner
  7. One of these Days (1971-09-30)
  8. John Peel (1971-09-30)
  9. Echoes (1971-09-30)

There is nothing special about this record, perhaps some of you have it as well and in better quality.
This Copy is not that what one would usually call “mint condition”. The only thing about this one is the version of echoes which has a delayed ping at the beginning which gives the intro a special flavour. I don’t know if the delay was added by the BBC for Broadcast or the bootleggers (if it is a bootleg). But it wasn’t a bad idea at all…

On the Fotos coming with this you can see the record that this one was made from.

Trader’s Blahblah:
No lossy conversion, don¥t sell, trade freely, always wash your hands after shitting.

Notes from Collectors Music Reviews

The new release At The Beeb Volume I by the label Culombia (sic) is a compilation of 4 different BBC radio broadcasts of Pink Floyd performances from December 1967 to May 1969. The first, second, & fourth are ìTop Gearî shows, while the third one is a ìNite Rideî show. They comprise the 1st disc of a double-disc factory-pressed silver original real 2-CD set ñ Volume II, the 2nd disc of the set, is of the legendary BBC session of September 30th, 1971, which I decided not to buy since I already have 5 different versions of it and canít imagine the best ones possibly getting any noticeably superior. Anyway, Volume I was selected because, although the outstanding Celestial Voices that was released by Rover Records several months ago included a major upgrade in sound quality for the first & third BBC shows, a big upgrade in sound quality for the second & fourth BBC shows can now be found on Volume I ñ in addition to such an upgrade for the first & third BBC shows that were included on Celestial Voices.

Unfortunately my ears arenít good enough to be able to discern any noticeable difference(s) in quality between the same shows found on both Celestial Voices & Volume I, but all 4 shows on Volume I are a certain, long-awaited major upgrade in quality for the same 4 shows that can be found on the old Great Dane Recordsí release The Complete Top Gear Sessions 1967-1969 (GDR CD 9206). Sadly, however, the old GDR title includes a 5th BBC show, from the autumn of 1967, for which a significant quality upgrade is apparently not available ñ at least not yet.

The following is printed in exact word-for-word verbatim near the top of the rear cover of Volume I – ìThese soundboard recordings are taken from the original masters, except for tracks 13 to 16 which were copied from an excellent broadcast recordings.î

Introductory &/or concluding comments, mostly by John Peel, can be heard at the ends of each track. Packaged in a regular 1-CD jewel case, but with the rear insert being single-sided only in terms of artwork, with still very nice artwork overall thatís done similarly to that of Floydís 2nd officially released album, A Saucerful of Secrets, At The Beeb Volume I is a terrific find that is very highly recommended.

Reveiw here; http://www.collectorsmusicreviews.com/pink-floyd/pink-floyd-at-the-beeb-volume-i-culombia-sic-pfatb6769/

A brilliant little compilation, encompassing some of the overlooked radio work the Floyd did early in their careers,
in brilliant quality. Nice and laid back, almost to the point of what is regarded ‘Stereotypical Floyd’, in astounding
quality. As stated, the announcements are by the LEGENADRY John Peel, with some interesting little anecdotes from him included; it’s almost like you’ve tuned into the shows the day they were broadcast – possibly the greatest nostalgia trip.
I would rate this as ‘ESSENTIAL’.

Tommy rehearsals! I was drooling all the way home when I bought this in Houstin in 1998. The artwork is digipack style – so feel free to edit them as you wish.

Venue:
Tracks 1-2: BBC Television Centre, London “Lulu” TV Show, Wednesday,
December 30, 1970
Tracks 3-13: BBC 1 Top Of The Pops Into 71, broadcast on December 31, 1970.
Recording: BBC Television & Sound board
Comments: The Lulu Show songs are a bit weak in performance and the rest of the
CD is comprised of Tommy demos and rehearsals. Apart from the Lulu tracks, this
is an interesting CD. Tracks 3-6 appear to be identical to other Tommy Demos
tracks. However, Tracks 7-13 appear to be WHO rehearsals featuring Roger Daltrey
on vocals. Track 7 cuts in immediately before the verse. The track venues listed
above were referenced from The Who Concert File book, (p.71).

Especially “River”, what a haunting song !

These are from the NPR World CafÈ Radio Sessions – just see them as bonus tracks…
