This is sourced from the Master Tape, via a DAT 4 gen tape.
I've had this recording for quite awhile but rarely listened
to it, due to the fact that it runs a bit fast. Well, I have
finally decided to fix the speed problem. I hope you like the
results.

Though the source recording has some minor problems (minor sonic
bumps and some hiss - more so on Disc 2), this is a superb, clear
sounding recording and is a definite upgrade to 'Best Of The
Pepperland Tapes'.

Remastering notes:

In determining the best speed change to make, I used the
Pepperland Tapes as a guide. I found that while a speed change
of -4.0 brought me in line with the Pepperland Tapes, it seemed
a bit sluggish. I found -3.8 to be the best sounding.

I re-indexed things a bit. I broke the Astronomy Domine power
problems into their own track. While interesting to hear once
or twice, they are not something you want to repeatedly listen
to. I also moved Embryo to the end of Disc 1. Since it segues
smoothly from AHM and has an abrupt cut at the end, it seemed
more natural to place it at the end of a disc. I also indexed
the tracks so that the song begins with the track, except for
Saucerful.

Decoded to wav, Sector boundary errors (first and last tracks of each disc) fixed with TLH, re-encoded to flac level 8 on Oct 27, 2007.

Additional notes from the PF dbase (by the much esteemed MOB):

The best version around, at least better than "Brutish Temptation", "Pepperland In The West" and "The Best Of The Pepperland Tapes". The spoken introduction to AHM is missing (it is present on "The Best Of The Pepperland Tapes" but is curiously cut here).
