Notes:

  • d1t01: the announcement sounds to be cut short
  • d1t02: The sound is very distant and muffled up to about :24, then it seems to improve.
    there is another drop in levels at 2:30 taking the quality back down a bit with more of a
    muffled sound. There seem to be a splice or a cut at 7:22
  • d1t03: Digipop at 1:39, 4:35, 7:49, 12:11, 12:14, and 12:35. Drop out at 5:51 – 5:53. Mic
    adjustment at 12:23, 14:07.
  • d1t04: Static at 11:02, 11:08. Mic adjustment at 15:40, 16:40
  • d1t05: at 1:46 there is a loud thump. I believe this was a mic bump. There are small
    mic bumps and adjustments throughout thistrack.
  • d1t06: This track also has the small mic bumps and adjustements for the first quarter
    of the track. dropout at 1:56.
  • d1t07: the levels seem to bump up at :37. Mic bumps, adjustments throughout this track
    as well.
  • d1t09: There are a few level changes in this track, very minor. At 8:52 through
    8:58 there is a very odd artifact. I don’t believe it should be there, but I may be wrong.
    Drop out at 9:41. Track is cut at the end, music lost.
  • The sound is overall a bit distant and muffled sounding. Being a Miles audience
    recording from the late 60’s the overall sound is pretty good and par for the course
    when compared to other examples I’ve heard. I wouldn’t pass it by myself.
  • “The Davis Quintet played two concerts at the Hammersmith Odeon on this date.
    This is the second concert. The Quintet toured Europe in October-November 1969 as
    part of the Newport Jazz Festival in Europe produced by George Wein.”

Queen
Complete Kampuchea Concert
Live in London, UK
Hammersmith Odeon
December 26, 1979

Label: Gipsy Eye 137/138
Material from this show has also been released on the bootleg “Crazy Tour”. It is, however, incomplete and the sound quality is inferior to this one.

Audio Source: Audience recording

Sound quality: EX – EX+ for an audience recording.
True lossless files (ripped in burst mode, but that does not affect quality unless there were ripping errors – I have spotted nothing sounding like that in the files). The tracks are expertly mastered, with nicely balanced frequency/amplitude ranges. Quite audible crowd presence that enhances the live feeling without interfering with the clear sound of music.

Lineage: Silver –> EAC –> WAV –> FLAC 8 –> MWP

Notes from the original uploader: The sound quality is quite good, being a soundboard recording from the early seventies. Unfortunately there are a couple of glitches throughout the disc that are on my original.

Interestingly this disc is reviewed on the excellent Bassman site (http://www.algonet.se/~bassman/bootlegs/91/hmv.html) but although the serial number and the artwork are exactly the same and I am absolutely certain I have an original silver, his tracklisting differs from mine. The tracklisting on the depicted artwork there shows the actual tracks on my disc and does include the “orgy instuctions” and not “Rebel Rebel” and “Panic in Detroit” as Bassman claims.

Info: An interesting read about this last Ziggy concert is to be found at The Ziggy Stardust Companion (http://www.5years.com/Retire.htm)
The Jeff Beck tracks were never officially released due to royalty/copyright issues.

01) Introduction/Hang On To Yourself 3:16
