Peter Hammill (supporting Le Orme)
Teatro Corso
Padova, Italy
11 December 1972
(repaired)

Contrast clause: This torrent differs from http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=458485 in that it is a repaired version, using the flac files from that torrent. See details below.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the tracks from the torrent uploaded by nadir_53 seemed to run fast. Interestingly, it seems PH played the guitar songs a semitone lower (guitar tuned a semitone low?) compared to the studio versions. At first, I began speed adjustments on these, but the results of raising the guitar a semitone raised the voice too high. So, I left them as they were (other than 'Tapeworm', which did seem to run slightly fast.)

TLH showed that some SBE's were present on the original upload. My attempt to fix these produced some pops between three pairs of tracks, so I decided just to leave them as they were. The SBE's are, to my ears, though, inaudible.
