I would love to have a shot at remastering from the original recordings.Uncle Capt.

It's true stereo, with vocals and instruments placed distinctly across the full soundstage. Unfortunately, it sounds like it's many generations away from the master tape, so it's muffled and indistinct in too many places. I'd love to hear this in pristine quality! Performances of "Shortenin' Bread" and "Roller Skatin' Child" are RARE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770869694124562763.post-40304098560997804052009-12-09T11:16:18.703-08:002009-12-09T11:16:18.703-08:00Interesting.

I'll have to check it out again. Thanks for the information!Uncle Capt.

According to Brad Elliott in "Surf's Up: The Beach Boys On Record":<br /><br />"DIR Broadcasting Corp. recorded a pair of Beach Boys concerts on a mobile 24-track unit for a proposed 'King Biscuit Flower Hour' radio special. Thirty minutes of the Springfield show were mixed to stereo by DIR and submitted to the group for approval. The Beach Boys rejected the mix and eventually the entire project... The 30-minute DIR stereo mix included the first 10 songs. An excellent quality tape exists."<br /><br />The songs you've listed match exactly the first 10 tracks of the setlist of the Springfield show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
