Docs Vinyl Box Vol. 8:
---EMERSON, LAKE & Palmer---1972-00-00-Karlsruhe, Schwarzwaldhalle--- aka Hamburg 1972---
off alternate Boot LP Vinyl source--ELP-Live vol. 1 & 2-- plus more!!
Friends, last year I posted parts of this show from a different 2 LP Vinyl Stereo Boot from the " Palms" label!
Since that time I was searching the ELP "LIVE" Vol. 1-3 Mono Boot vinyl LPīs,
which seemed to be the source for the complete performance & includes mostly parts not included in the previous "Palms" Version!!
Since I wasnīt able to find nice clean copies yet,
here is a reel copy from our notorious Master Taper Heribert B. recorded directly from the MONO Boot LPīs Vol. 1 & 2 to reel!
The quality of this MONO Vinyl Boots is slightly worse than the STEREO " Palms" version but still exellent minus!
MP3 samples below
Important source information!
--Since the Bootleg company which produced this boot LPīs was located in Hamburg, they usually used concerts from there!
So itīs more likely that this show was recorded in Hamburg 1972 and not in another part of Germany 500 km away from Hamburg!
The Mono recordings were released as 3 single Vinyl Boot Lpīs and later in a 3 LP Bootleg Vinyl Box!
I included a pic of the Box in the torrent & will later attach scans of the 2 Single Booleg covers I have!
--Recently I found out, that ELP "LIVE" Vol. 1-3 Mono Boot vinyl LPīs is still incomplete!
To reconstruct the complete show we need some parts from the "Palms" Stereo Version!
Also the "Palms" version was obviously made from a different taper , since itīs a some better, Stereo Reording!
Just compare "Promenade/the Sage" version here with the " Palms" version--
It īs audible to hear some people talking in the backround on the Mono version, at 3.00,
while theyīre not audible on the palms vers. etc!
To reconstruct the complete show we need some parts from the "Palms" Stereo Version,
which are not available from ELP "LIVE" Vol. 1-3 Mono Boot vinyl LPīs!
Unfortunately I have only worn out Vinyl copys of Vol. 1 & 2 and never saw Vol. 3!
Since itīs a lot of work to splice all the different parts together from the various sources,
It makes only sense to do this, from transfers of all 5 original LPīs!
I promise I will do that, when I will have clean copies of ELP "LIVE" Vol. 1-3 Mono Boot vinyl LPīs!
Detailed infos of what I found out about the sources of the different parts of the show,
are added to the Tracklist below!
