Comments:  It is advertised as being recorded in Italy 1974,
           but........ It is the soundtrack to Live At Pompeii taken
           from the Laserdisc, minus the DSOTM stuff.   -ANDRE

           The lyrics for StCftHotS are very clear, the music
           outstanding, as it is for most of this CD.  OoTD is missing
           the wind at the beginning, Echoes seems to have what sounds
           like momentary tape slippage at a few points between the
           9:00 - 11:30 mark.  Overall a great pickup, as there is no
           crowd noise.  The definitive version of Echoes to me.

           Suppossedly recorded from the laserdisc, this is nonetheless
           a very good recording of some classic early Floyd.  'Echoes'
           is dramatic, witha different beginning, and a great 'jam'
           section highlighting Gilmour's guitar work.  I also really
           like 'Set the Controls..' on here, as the vocals are really
           clear, and there is added 'humming' between verses.  The
           middle section also highlights Gilmour's guitar. A
           worthwhile pickup.  -BEAKER
