Black

Notes:

Lady Jane and Goin' Home are not soundboard.
Not much done to SBD tracks.
The French voiceovers are edited out.
Bonus tracks - I love the live 1967 version of Yesterday's Papers - so I created an edit
Also added available audio from Warsaw show.
At times there is piercing feedback from the amps (i.e. second half of Satisfaction) - not much I could do about that...

I can only hope we hear this on SBD/uninterrupted one day!

1969-01-13 - Jimi Hendrix - Cologne [FD Patch and Cleanup]

Here is one that I kept back, mainly because EH put out the official version (from same source tape) and I thought it redundant. That said, I still don't have the official one to compare it to, but I remember I did some work to it, speed correction among the edits, some patching from first source also. Anyway, as the official one was a hard to get hold of 2LP set, here is perhaps a "poor man's version"

01 - Intro

02 - Come On (Part One)
03 - Foxy Lady
04 - Red House
05 - Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)
06 - Fire
07 - Spanish Castle Magic
08 - Hey Joe
09 - Sunshine Of Your Love
10 - Star Spangled Banner
11 - Purple Haze

1970-05-30 Berkeley Soundcheck [The Alternate First Rays Live] FD Cleanup and Edits

Lineage> Bob Terry Tape #13 FLAC> Adobe Audition Editing > FLAC

Sorry for the sketchy info - but this has been sitting on the hard drive for a while, and I can't remember precisely what I did - but I suspect there is some EQ et al - can't remember the source either, although I think I used the Bob Terry tape (as FLAC).

01 - Earth Blues [1970-05-30 Berkeley Soundcheck - Edit].flac
02 - Message to Love [1970-05-30 Berkeley Soundcheck - Edit].flac
03 - Hey Baby [1970-05-30 Berkeley Soundcheck - Edit].flac
04 - Freedom [1970-05-30 Berkeley Soundcheck - Edit].flac
05 - Villanova Junction / Keep On Groovin [1970-05-30 Berkeley Soundcheck - Edit].flac
06 - Power of Soul [1970-05-30 Berkeley Soundcheck - Edit].flac
07 - Machine Gun [1970-05-30 Berkeley Soundcheck - Edit].flac
08 - Room Full of Mirrors[1970-05-30 Berkeley Soundcheck - Edit].flac

There ain't nothing here you ain't heard before - although what I did was edit the soundcheck tracks to make the longest and most coherent versions possible [actually, listening back after the fact, I did trim a couple too - like intro off RFOM, and a bit off intro MTL, which I did to keep the whole thing tight and provide edit points for the future live comp]...the premise was to create an "Alternate First Rays Live" - so I wasn't going to release this way - but as a live compilation embellished with other tracks to make a live First Rays comp of best 1970 performances...as I have been busy lately, and things have been quiet around here, I thought I'd upload it for your discernment...
I rearranged the order of the tracks...to create my own running order, which listening back now ain't bad - but you can please yourself on that score...

The Rolling Stones - Satanic Majesties "Reimagined"

Having previously remixed some of the Satanic Sessions tracks, I had always wanted to create a "better" TSMR. I have performed various forms of trickery to make this a good continuous listen that also brought back in many of the very interesting instrumentals that were never used...
OK - inclusion of Child of the Moon is contentious - but as they worked on this around the time of TSMR and is on Satanic Sessions, I took the liberty of including - tried to make an acoustic version using vox from studio version - but didn't sound great...so anyway...

Of course I haven't got We Love You here - did have, but I can't remember my logic at the time and I decided to leave it off. I included We Love You (Vocal Extract) in Experiments and Reconstructions...you can really hear the Fabs great backing vox esp on "you will love we too"...anyway, you can insert that in somewhere or replace Child of the Moon.

The playlist was devised as if it was (roughly) two twenty minute sides - Hence Side Two intro.
Here is the (imaginary LP) track list:

Side 1
01 Sing This All Together [Edit]
02 2000 Light Years From Home
03 In Another Land [Remix]
04 5 Part Jam [Part 1] Interlude
05 Dandelion- 5 Part Jam [Part 2]
06 Child of the Moon
07 5 Part Jam [Part 5] Interlude – Gomper [Edit]
08 Sing This All Together [Reprise]

Side 2

09 “Side 2” Intro [Untitled Instrumental]
10 On With The Show
11 5 Part Jam [Part 3] Interlude
12 2000 Man
13 Gold Painted Nails [Interlude]
14 She's A Rainbow
15 Citadel
16 Gold Painted Nails [Edit]
17 The Lantern [Remix]
18 Majesties Honky Tonk [Edit-Outro]

They had all of this at their disposal! And more!

Rather than serve up the same old outtakes, I have tried to compile some Frankenstein creations, new mixes, and clean as possible sounding rarities.

Some of these have been on the hard drive for years - so I collect them together for your discernment...

Most of the tracks are self-explanatory, a couple I have already put out when I put together previous comps - Got Live Remix, and Satanic Majesties Reimagined...Have You Seen Your Mother Baby Standing in the Shadow [Studio Excavated] is the version from Got Live LP but I have tried to remove as much fake applause as possible, to uncover what is surely a complete studio re-recording of the track. It sounds nothing like the Newcastle and Colston Hall tracks on that album.

1967-04-08 - Rolling Stones - Milan [2nd Show - funkydrummer cleanup]

Palalido Palazzo Dello Sport (2nd show), Milan, Italy.
[funkydrummer cleanup]

FLAC [Scandinavian Shakedown VGP365] > Adobe Audition (NR, EQ, Comp) > FLAC

01 - The Last Time
02 - Paint It Black
03 - 19th Nervous Breakdown
04 - Lady Jane
05 - Get Off Of My Cloud
06 - Yesterday's Papers
07 - Ruby Tuesday
08 - Let's Spend the Night Together


With the exception of some of the Paris show radio broadcasts, all of the European 67 tour shows are unfortunately rough. Milan is possibly the best audience source, but is recording is missing Goin Home/Satisfaction.
As with the others, I ask you to compare and contrast with the raw sources - and most of the 67 shows are probably for afficionados only.
