Hi-Rez & CD Quality downloads of long-lost MONO mixes and other curiosa, meticulously restored from the best sources. Hendrix, The Who, Beatles, Love, Mothers, Stones, Them, The Dead, etc. Free for All!
F.A.Q.
Who? Retired sound engineer who loves music from the 60's & early 70's.
What? My aim is to make rare stuff publicly available again with the best possible sound quality.
Thanks a lot for this! Eager to listen this recordings with your treatment. From the notes it already looks very good. I'm sure it will be a most pleasant listening experience.
Fantastic! that was the big thing we were hoping for! the notes are indeed very interesting to read, and intriguing. Plus de DJ comments will make you teleport into the past just as if you took the Delorean from Back To The Future. Any suggestion about the best way to split this set to burn it on audio CD ? (I want to use vintage-vinyl-like CDR) of course 1970 show and 1971 will be on a single CD; but I was wondering about the best way to assemble the early years - in chronological order of course.
The best way is to start second CD with the "Gilmour years". I'm intrigued by the fact that the actual title of Murderistic Woman (the early Careful with that Axe, Eugene) is actually Murderotic Women.
fascinating liner notes. Regarding the 8 multi-track recording of the epic, mythic 1971 performance, I wonder what sounds to be like a rehearsal (sound was somehow different especially with a few warmin'up during the intro) of One Of These Days (not the mono or stereo version) comes from a different mix from the 8-track recording/mix.
Spiffing release prof. Outstanding work as usual. What wonderful music this is. Especially their early work when they were still taking chances and being radical in their approach.
To you and Hallucination, I am not sure there are words that would accurately describe my gratitude for this one. I will leave you with a "thank you" for now.
Thanks for all of your hard work on these priceless treasures!! It's such a blessing to have all of the current best sources for these songs in one amazing collection!!
Eager to compare the 70s concert of paris theater with my CD https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/1724201-Pink-Floyd-Live-In-London-1971 ( wrong date for this CD)
This sounds great. Clean and smooth compared to earlier versions i remember. Drums and other transients seem punchier and vocals are more intelligible. Like other prof stoned demix-remixes the '70/'71 sessions have a nice analog feel - kinda like a well produced high quality late sixties/early seventies record.
This so important! First time I have the chance to enjoy many of them in really great quality. Like discovering a lost early album. Many thanks - Causinger
Wow, just wow! Listened to this on headphones last night and it is amazing. I never thought we'd hear the BBC stuff in this quality. So thanks to Hal for the sources and the Prof for the magic dust..
Hello Professor, thank you for the most excellent Pink Floyd. Regarding the 09-30-71 recording, "The Embryo" in stereo has slightly reduced fidelity having been obtained from an alternate (FM) source. Would it be possible to remix the mono source of "The Embryo" into stereo and obtain improved sound, similar to the other stereo tracks (minus "Blues")?
Damn Professor, you have taken your game up yet another notch by applying the demix technology. I know I say thank you all of the time but the fact that you use your ever increasing sonic arsenal to take your already amazing remastering projects to another level says a lot about your personal work ethic. Thanks for letting us reap the benefits.
The sound is warm and clear. Seperate elements seem to flow and intertwine, rather than becoming muddied in the mix. In all a very analogue listen via digital means. Superb. Essential. Beats any other sound mastering of these tracks by miles. I hope the prof turns his skills to Syd Barrett and his much maligned solo works. One can only dream.....
This is the definitive version of Pink Floyd BBC Sessions! I've been waiting for so many years for an (decent) official release, and Prof Stoned has provided us a fantastic version, even better than what I would expect from an official release. Thank you!
BRAVO! I must own a half dozen versions of these tracks and your collection is the best sounding and most complete I've ever experienced! Makes all the other versions OBSOLETE!!!!
Thanks so much, Prof! The BBC sessions by Pink Floyd are among my favorite recordings by them, and this is the best sound quality for them that I've experienced. Hopefully, some day, I wish that you will be able to get access to the better-quality tapes that are still in the hands of others so that you can perform your miraculous treatment to them and share them with the world. Kudos to you!
I've been looking for a good sounding BBC Collection for many years and was very disappointed of the bad quality used for the Early Years box set of the early sessions as well as using the mono mix of the 1971 session, when there existed such an excellent stereo version. One of many flaws that could have been avoided in the Early Years box set (not to mention the missing Seabirds I was hoping to get in good quality at last!). What a dissappointment! And then: along comes the Professor! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I haven't liestened to this yet but I'm sure it will be amazing – as all your stuff I've heard so far is really fantastic. Mike F.
I've done some slip case covers based on Floyd picture sleeve singles if anyone is interested. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1G-Refc91rWtjsrdY8irXiOn4aYC2l4rp?usp=sharing
Thank you. Here's a folder of more stuff I've done for Prof Stoned's work https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11ndGNQXKiaI8IXcyeEviALVO0BdilIyN?usp=sharing
Here, the covers I made years ago for my first attempt to make a BBC compilation. It went well, but the one by Professor Stoned made me rethink the whole thing.
This looks great. Your work is always incredible. I love reading all the details. Thank you !
