Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun Band: Roger Waters Nick Mason David Gilmour Rick Wright Xref: Quality: VG+(SP!)/EX- -HERWIG Comments: During Shine On You Crazy Diamond the old song Moonhead was inserted. -INGO The 1974 material has _severe_ speed problems (sometimes too fast, sometimes too slow, some parts sound like mickey mouse is singing) and is generally a bit hissy. Source doesn't seem to be a low-gen tape. "Grantchester Meadows" and "CWtA,E" are definitely from Amsterdam 17.9.1969 (and not Lieden as stated on the cover) which is by now available in much better quality. The remarkable part of this RoIO is the last track which is from a radio broadcast (the date seems to be correct). Must be FM because it sound mono and you hear a constant distortion. Unfortunately, we get less than 3 minutes of "STCfTHoTS", then the announcer interrupts. -HERWIG
