  1. My first question would be, how are you planning to listen? For example, if you’ll mainly be using Bluetooth headphones, there’s little point in paying for hi-res streaming. If you’re directing the stream losslessly through a decent hi-if system or wired headphones, then yes it’s worth it.
  2. I believe D'yer M'ker was never performed live. There are quite a few other songs in that bucket spread across the albums. There are good recordings of fairly complete versions of some songs that were rehearsed in sound checks but never played in concerts – examples include The Rover and Night Flight.
  3. It’s very easy to extract the audio from the DVD at 16 bit/44.1kHz using software like DVD Audio Extractor to create your own CD-quality soundtrack of the RAH show. You can also add the partial tracks included in the DVD menu sections. I did this about 15 years ago and have been listening to it regularly ever since...
  4. Thought it worth registering on this forum that Peter Whitehead, who filmed the band at Royal Albert Hall in 1970, has sadly died. Not sure what implications this has for remaining archive material (if any): https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jun/13/peter-whitehead-obituary
  5. It took me about 60s using Audacity to create Hello Mary Lou as a stand-alone 2min 16sec track using the old 2003 disc, with fade in and fade out etc. I then added it to the end of the 2018 edition of HTWWW as a ‘bonus track’ in my lossless playlist in iTunes. Problem solved...
  6. The Wikipedia entry for BBC Sessions is now displaying the alleged track times for the third disc, and it has White Summer at 8:22 rather than the previous official version which was 8:01. The Garden Tapes site says there was previously a 15 second cut at 5:06, so it looks like this track may now be about to appear in unedited form.
  7. I am struggling to hear any audible glitch at 0:55 on the official version of Sunshine Woman uploaded to Spotify, although it does have the early fade.
  8. Bought this at Heathrow Airport on Saturday just prior to boarding a long haul flight. Absolutely excellent
  9. My favourite table at my local bar/diner in Suwanee, Georgia
  10. Also a bit of a shame that the first few notes have been edited off 'Jennings Farm Blues', compared with the bootleg version. Another tiny nitpick!
  11. Okay, this is nitpicking in the extreme, but slightly odd how 'Immigrant Song' becomes 'The Immigrant Song (Alternate Mix)' on the companion disc. Where did the 'The' come from? Also 'Bron-Y-Aur Stomp' is missing the extra 'r' that was added to all subsequent releases of 'Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp', for example on HTWWW and DVD Earl's Court segment. There needs to be a consistent policy on what these songs are called! Overall, absolutely love the deluxe release.
