How does the "As It Began" complete Golders Green compare to this incomplete version?

Which is the most complete Golders Green? I have about 6 different versions :o/[/QUOTE]

The master tape ? :-)
I have created a merge of the best "publicly available" sources, it was complete and all sources except 1 were in really excellent quality.

Well, I wouldn't call any of them excellent quality since Freddie sounds like he's singing through an open door from another room somewhere down the corridor. But that appears to be a fault on the master, it's certainly present on Pop Spectacular which is sourced from a BBC Transcription disc.

I seem to recall they turned him down due to his singing sharp (nerves) although the actual mix sounds far from official. A back up monitor mix that ended up on the transcription disc after a cock up? Stranger things have happened!

Thanks for your responses. I think I have the Pittrek version which I enjoyed very much.

^ where in the world did you find this !? Very interesting.

How does the recording of the show itself compare to what we have?

Yes, I thought that.
Does it include anything that won't be on the official release?

Will the On Air release carry the quad coding?

Only bar coding.

It is certainly possible for a CD to contain quad coding, but I very much doubt the On Air release will.

For Quad CD releases by other artists see:

I've connected a few dots here...

The first US broadcast of this material was on WMMS 100.7 Cleveland on March 2, 1975, as advertised here:

With the daring nature of FM radio in the early to mid 70s, it may well be a case of the band not even being aware of the broadcast.

This is likely the broadcast that led to the swath of bootlegs beginning with the "Rogues And Scandals" LP a year or two later - an American bootleg.

Here is the intro by stateside BBC correspondent Brian Saxton - it's been sitting here (http://www.surrounddiscography.com/quaddisc/quadradi.htm) for ages and nobody seemed to notice:

I think this has been mentioned in some other threads before. Also the notes in the youtube video posted on the first page of this thread mentions that date and gives an interesting link where it can be cross referenced.

Was ''On Air" ever checked fo quad coding?

Ahh, and I even responded to it back in October.

The ol' memory is going on me.
