What's "The Dustin Hoffman Tape" all about?

Try to find Misterclaudel's Alone Together Vol 1, released like nine years ago, the whole tape is there.

The original source is there:



"my mother worked as a script reader for mr. hoffman in the '80s. i visited her at the apt/office she worked at a couple of times. i saw a cassette with 'paul & linda' written on it - and snatched it immediately, since i remembered the story of them visiting him right before 'band on the run' was recorded."

Finally getting through the rest of the set, the SQ is the same for this tape - Neither here nor there for the HMC or other iterations. It’s nice that it has found a home here, I guess.

Thanks for this update! Overall, are you happy with this new HMC? Any other highlights for you beyond the obvious new mixes on disc 1?

Nothing that stands out specifically - The bonus tracks on disk one are a bit tedious, uniformly good material leading up to the Hoffman tapes and having the bonus sound effects at the end of disk two is nice rather than running through podcasts again. I appreciate that they were all put together.

Is the "Silly Love Songs" studio outtake the one with Paul McCartney humming the melody (like on the piano demo which was released on the official box set) instead of the horns section ?

There is an audio excerpt on the auctioned tape which seems to convinced me that's the same outtake or rough mix.
I was wondering if this is an alternate take (since we have only the chorus on the audio sample) or if it is the same that was used for the last track on CD2 of the Voo-Doo set "Wings At The Speed Of Sound".
Or is it a better sound quality transfer ?
