1964-09-02 Convention Hall Philadelphia PA. Mono Reel To Reel to Reel (new transfers)

[20YearsAgo]

This show, which for years circulated as the "Whiskey Flats" show, must surely be the most booted performance from their 1964 North American tour. A fresh transfer of what might be the master 7 1/2 IPS reel just popped up again tonight on some trackers, where it's featured in both 16- and 24-bit forms.

I A/B'd one track (All My Loving) against the IMP's "Philadelphia 1964 Off Reel" boot (one of my go-to sources for the show). Personally, I preferred the IMP cd for against the 16 bit tape. However, at points the 24-bit file had more nuances and greater depth to my ears. Your ears, of course, might differ.

How about this! Off-Reel plus the Pre-FM alternate CD comped together!

Off-Reel is clear but tinny, Pre-FM boomier and muddier. Together they make a more full and slightly stereo soundstage:

My 3-track Audacity file is available if anyone wants to tinker with the mix and do a better job:

With original tracks this clear, someone needs to do a true stereo demix!

Oh, Was Joe Pope the owner of this reel? I had never heard of it before.

Hi - hope you don't mind but If I Fell, has always been a favourite of mine, so took the liberty of attempting to see what I could do with your Audacity file and produced this (It's' not a "demix" as such, but perhaps a clearer vocal?)
