I got this source in a trade with "RevealingYes" (fellow Dime user, and allround good guy ;-)) years ago (Thanks Huub!).
It was an LP recorded on tape (no info on equipment used, long time ago).
I offered it some time ago (last year) on another torrent site too, just the way it was, but there were a lot of things wrong with it, such as speed, pitch, trackorder and worst of all, the constant crackling of the vynil!

I did to do the best i could, within my powers, with the source provided, but the crackling sound was impossible to remove without touching the rest of the recording, so i left that the way it was.

I did do some tweaking on the pitch and speed (it`s better, but i`m sure it is still way off) and mixed the 2 channels to 2 channel mono.

I also corrected the trackorder, and this is now in the order of the setlist as stated on Forgotten Yesterdays. FY is ofcourse our very valuable source for information on Yes shows (thank you Pete Whipple).

I`m not saying it`s perfect, far from it, and someone with more knowledge of speed correction and pitch control etc. can do a much better job, i`m sure, but with what i did to it, it`s does sound better than it was!

I left the cuts as they were on the LP, i didn`t do any crossfading or anything, as this too would not do the recording any good, considering that some tracks fade out prematurely.

Removing drop-outs or minor other meaningless bits and possible errors will not improve this recording in any way! So just enjoy it the way it is (i`m sure you will if you are a fan).

When i seeded this first time around, someone in the comments section said that he/she had a better version still on vynil and would upload that rip soon, but this still has not happened, so i`m uploading this version again for those who maybe missed it the first time!
It seems to be a rare one as i have never seen it anywhere else as an upload.

So if anyone does have a better version of this show, then please (pretty please) share it with us, i`ll be happy to pull this version if it gets us a better version/quality to treasure/share.

In the meantime, please enjoy this one (it`s a nice raw performance, as many were at that time)!

CD-R EAC ripped to wave, all tracks pasted together, tweaked, mixed to 2 channel mono
and split into separate tracks using Cool Edit Pro 2.1, converted to flac 6 using TLH.
No idea about lineage (recording equipment or otherwise).
All images included in this torrent were taken from Forgotten Yesterdays.

It seems that there were SBE errors, so these were fixed too (even though they are not a major issue anymore).
Simple cover art, newly made md5 checksums from fixed files, shntool fix reports & original eac logs included.

All files have been tested and without error!
