duckman Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 4 minutes ago, Xolo1974 said: Which label is it and which source did they use? Hi Neil, it's on the European 'Golden Eggs label' (successor of Eat A Peach/Godfather). Paul describes the source mix on his website (LZ Database). The Cobla stereo tape is the main source, but compared to the Graf Zep version (the one you have), this sounds a little bit more 'polished'. Less audience chatter too. But somehow I keep returning to my Cobla version. At the time I felt it was a significant upgrade to the TMOQ/Blimp mono source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluribus Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The Golden Eggs release is actually the other stereo source. The “newer” one which didn’t come out in full until the 2000s. The same one used on Winston. Graf Zep used the old Cobra stereo source and patched it with the newer stereo source. Eggs has the opposite mix, with the newer stereo source as the base and the Cobra source to patch. Both sound really good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the "A Sweeter Blueberry" DVD-A, which is mostly source four, I've had it a long time, at least five years I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “A Sweeter Blueberry” from years ago was done by a guy named Doinker. That turned out to be an inferior transfer of the same old Cobra stereo source. The Graf Zeppelin version of that tape is now the one to get. This new Golden Eggs bootleg has the same “A Sweeter Blueberry” title as that Doinker one, but is a completely different thing. It’s the newer/alt stereo source with patches, and sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xolo1974 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Guys - my account is disabled on dime and I am having some difficulty getting it reinstated. If anyone can send me a link through Dropbox, wetransfer or google drives I sure would appreciate it. I have the silvers of the Graf Zep version and I’d love to hear this one. Thanks.

The Only Way To Fly Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 This was my first zep boot bought back in 1984 or 1985. SO glad to hear this show keeps getting upgraded. I'd love to hear an official release but fear Page's butcher knife edits should one ever be released. With these upgraded releases, it looks like we'll never need an official release : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xolo1974 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 For me, the Graf Zeppelin version just shades it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll compare it with the Graf when I find the file (must have it somewhere). It's a bit confusing these days 45+ years on from the first TMOQ and Dub Taylor versions, so many labels throw their takes out. Back in 1973 (for me anyway) it was what do I play, the coloured vinyl stereo or the black vinyl mono, so simple then, not now though.

pluribus Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Nite Owl’s “Ultimate Blueberry Hill” matrix is up on Dime. Sounds really good. It’s a matrix of sources 1,2,3,5 with sources 4/6 just for the intro. There is some chorusing on the guitar during songs like Since I’ve Been Loving You, That’s the Way, Thank You. Since sounds like Page is using a chorus pedal. I think it may be from using the Rubber Dubber source during those sections, because the parts that don’t use that source (where the Rubber Dubber source is incomplete) don’t have that chorus sound. Mix probably could have been just as good using just sources 1,3,5. Listening to Immigrant Song or Blueberry Hill, where just 1,3,5 were used sound great.

F😀ck knows why, and the administrators have been less than helpful. If someone has the means of sharing this with me via alternative means, I’d really appreciate it.

Not to worry, I have it. Blasted the first 30 mins in the car this morning and it sounded awesome. What impressed me was the bottom end. Brilliant. I’ll play it all later in with my headphones. Just a thought - if the rubber dubber source compromises the quality, do you reckon nite owl could be persuaded to circulate a version that only uses sources 1, 3 and 5?
