I am always very interested in having and, if necessary, treating recordings of concerts that I have been able to attend.
More than 50 years have passed since this concert which I remember very well. I don't know who recorded it and I have no information on how it was recorded but I thank him very much. There are some abrupt interruptions due to the tape flip but not only that. I also experimented with the unmixing/remixing operation here and there are some samples in the comments. Recording has been tracked according with what I received.

rdwm remaster
-Azimut and Phase correction with iZotope RX
-Eq made with Har-Bal
-Unmixed file using Steinberg SpectraLayers and remounted to get a different balance between instruments and less audience chattering
naturally the operation is arbitrary and there is nothing objective in this remix operation... only the judgment of my ears, my personal taste and my great love and respect for Soft Machine music


Below reported the information that accompanied the audio recording I received. if someone has a better recording please contact me, thanks
