Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon Early Mix 1972 Download
Nosotros mind to some previously unreleased tracks from the forthcoming Immersion Edition box sets
Superdeluxeedition were treated to an exclusive preview of Pink Floyd's forthcoming Night Side of the Moon, Wish Yous Were Here and The Wall Immersion box sets concluding week.
We headed downwards to Astoria, David Gilmour's amazing gunkhole house studio in South West London, and met with both Andy Jackson (Floyd recording engineer since 1982) and Phil Taylor (Studio Manager and sometime Gilmour guitar tech) to talk about, and most importantly listen to, the newly remastered material, including Shine On You lot Crazy Diamond in hi-res surround sound, an early version of Some other Brick in the Wall, and Money live from 1974.
Astoria is a very impressive 100-year one-time vessel, built originally by impresario Fred Karno (he discovered Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel) to be "the all-time houseboat on the Thames". Information technology has a summit deck designed to business firm a 90 piece orchestra! Gilmour has endemic it since 1986 and turned information technology into a country of the art recording studio, while maintaining all the original features and interior furnishings. Most of A Momentary Lapse of Reason, The Division Bell and his contempo solo album On An Island were recorded on the boat. Many artists take recorded at Astoria including Muse, Jeff Beck, Ian Brownish and Ringo Starr.
In a fascinating Q&A session with Andy Jackson, we learnt some interesting facts about some of Pinkish Floyd'due south most famous recordings:
• During the Nighttime Side of the Moon sessions, the ring literally ran out of tracks on the two″ xvi-track machine they were working with. The drums had to exist copied across and mixed downwardly to a 24-track auto, so all issues of Dark Side of the Moon have had second generation drums until James Guthrie's 2003 remaster where he laboriously tracked down the original 16-rail tapes and sourced the drums from the original tapes.
• When recording the Dark Side of the Moon alive concerts, their were various technical problems, including the boot-drum being mic'd upwards incorrectly, meaning that non of that drum was recorded on tape. However spill from other mics picked it up slightly, and engineers were able to accurately recreate the kicking-drum for the remastered live recordings.
• During the research catamenia for the reissues, the original tapes of the famous Dark Side of the Moon "interviews" were found including – amongst many others – Paul and Linda McCartney'southward voices and Wings' Guitarist Henry McCullough, whose "I don't know; I was really drunkard at the time" can be heard at the terminate of Money. Since the engineers now had access to the original isolated tapes nosotros tin can apparently look forward to a DVD 'Easter egg' which will make use of some of this sound!
• The original working title for Dark Side of the Moon was Eclipse and The Great Gig in the Sky had the working championship of "the religious department", while On The Run was known as "the travel department". These fitted in with the 'big' themes of the album money, time etc.
Subsequently tea and biscuits and our tour of the boat, we settled in our chair behind the massive mixing desk, right in the middle of state of the art 5.1 monitoring speakers. Andy Jackson pressed 'play' on the BluRay player and we heard an amazing selection of tracks which will all exist released on the forthcoming box sets. Beneath is a summary of what we heard, where the tracks tin exist found on the forthcoming releases and a brief description of the audio/video.
Time (five.1 Surroundings)
Available on Disc iii and 5 of forthcoming Night Side of the Moon Immersion Edition
Although previously available on the Dark Side of the Moon SACD this rail nonetheless sounded incredible played from a BluRay disc, booming out through the 5.1 command room speakers of Gimour's studio. Those clocks never fail to get yous.
Smooth On You lot Crazy Diamond Screen Moving-picture show (5.one Surround)
Bachelor on Disc 4 and 5 of forthcoming Wish You Were Here Immersion Edition
Since the 5.1 Wish You Were Here mix is the stuff of legend, this was always going to exist a highlight. The combination of seeing the cleaned upwardly Screen Films and hearing Shine on You Crazy Diamond in Surround Sound was incredible! The five.1 mix is amazing with full employ of rears and eye channels.
The Keen Gig in the Sky (Original 1972 Mix)
Available on Disc 6 of forthcoming Dark Side of the Moon Immersion Edition
An early version without whatever of the familiar vocals. A homo's phonation shouting from a megaphone is heard instead and this version is quite heavy on the Hammond Organ. The structure is very much intact.
Wish You Were Hither featuring Stephane Grappelli (previously unreleased)
Bachelor on Disc 2 of forthcoming Wish You lot Were Here Immersion and Experience Editions
An early version of the track with the violinist Stephane Grappelli who was recording in the aforementioned studio at the time. The violin comes in after the line "And did y'all commutation a walk on part in the war for a lead part in a cage" and plays for a few minutes with a folky twang. An interesting experiment, only ultimately the band chose to go in a different direction, which to these ears was the right selection.
Welcome to the Motorcar Screen Picture show (five.1 Surround)
Available on Disc four and 5 of forthcoming Wish You Were Here Immersion Edition
This astonishing in 5.ane. The outset acoustic guitar chimes in on the front speakers, the second on the rear correct and third on the rear left. Information technology'southward a very busy environment mix and works brilliantly with the animated motion-picture show which looks very make clean.
Money (Alive at Wembley 1974 – previously unreleased)
Available on Disc 2 of forthcoming Nighttime Side of the Moon Immersion and Experience Editions
Dark Side of the Moon Alive is available every bit disc two on the cheaper Experience Edition besides every bit on the Immersion Edition. This rendition of Coin sounds excellent with lots of clarity and quite accurately recreates the studio version.
Some other Brick in the Wall (Office 1) "Work in Progress"
Available on Disc 3 or 4 of forthcoming The Wall Immersion Edition
Some lyrical changes in this early version. Fascinating to hear the song in development. Still quite full sounding not really a demo in whatsoever way.
Conscientious with That Axe Eugene (Video) (Live from Brighton Dome 1972)
Bachelor on Disc 4 and 5 of forthcoming Dark Side of the Moon Immersion Edition
Footage is cleaned up incredibly well. Gilmour looks as cool as e'er, while Waters looks quite manic.
Comfortably Numb (from Is There Anybody Out There: The Wall Live)
Available on Disc 6 of forthcoming The Wall Immersion Edition
Released before of course, just this 2011 remaster sounds improve than ever.
We left wanting to hear more, but volition have to wait patiently for September when Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are released in all their multitude of configurations. The Wall of course will not be out until February 2012.
Before we left, Andy Jackson suggested a follow-upwardly session to cover any farther questions. This is your opportunity. If any Floyd fans out there take whatsoever questions around these reissues then delight go out as a comment at the end of this post and nosotros will collate them and try to put as many as we can to Andy and result an update at a later stage.
