'''Technical remarks'''
 
 
 
* The songs were reproduced by a ''Pioneer PLX 500'' turmtable and digitized with its software ''Rekordbox DVS''.
 
 
 
* Due to Wikipedia storage space limits the files had to be converted from a lossless format to mp3.
 
: All the songs went through the ''same'' conversion process and are accordingly still comparable,
 
: although they are of less sound quality than the originally generated files.
 
  
* The records were taken from a private collection. They have different grades of use and age.
+
* On most of the bootlegs mentioned here, some songs are cut, which is clearly audible on [[Heartland (song)|Heartland]] and [[No Time To Cry (song)|No Time To Cry]].
: According to the [https://support.discogs.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001566193-How-To-Grade-Items Goldmine Standard for grading] most of the vinyls are ''near mint'',
+
: Sometimes songs get cut on LPs because time available for one record side is limited to about 22 minutes
: with the exception of [[Lord Of Darkness]], [[Halloween In Arkham]] and [[Jolene bw No Time To Cry]], which are ''very good plus'',
+
: and going beyond this limit would result in decreased sound quality.
: and [[A Black Pack]] that can be considered as ''very good''.
+
: Side 2 of the [[Psychedelic Sessions 1986]] LP, for example, has a total playing time of 23:15 minutes,
: One should bear this in mind while comparing the sounds.
+
: which might be the reason why the beginning of [[No Time To Cry (song)|No Time To Cry]] is cut from that record.
 
 
* We want to emphasize that all the sound files are the first seconds of the songs.
 
: The files were not manipulated adulterantly or shortened during the recording and conversion process.
 
<br/>
 
<br/>
 
'''Analisis'''
 
 
 
* First and foremost one should turn his attention to
 
: - the clearness of the sound, and if the instruments are distinguishable.
 
: - to the treble sound, like the the sound of the hi-hat of [[Doktor Avalanche]], and if it is to sharp or - the other way around - even lost.
 
: - to the pitch.
 
 
 
* Because of the low quality of the mp3 files, the bass sounds do not differ too much.
 
<br/>
 
<br/>
 
'''Further observations'''
 
* The up- and downturn of the speed in [[Floorshow (song)|Floorshow]] (seconds 6 to 7) on the present item, the Complete BBC Radio One Sessions Box, as well as on the [[Gimme Shelter (LP)|Gimme Shelter]] LP,
 
: give the impression that the songs come from the same sorce, which is most likely a different one from the other bootlegs.
 
  
* On a lot of bootlegs the songs were shortened, as it is clearly audialble on [[Heartland (song)|Heartland]] and [[No Time To Cry (song)|No Time To Cry]].
+
* On the present item all songs appear in full length.
: Sometimes songs get shortened on a LP due to the limited time of one record side, which should be about 22 minutes.
 
: If the playing time would increase, the record lacked sound quality.
 
: For example, the second side of the [[Psychedelic Sessions 1986]] LP has got a total playing time of 23:15 minutes.
 
: Maybe this was the reason why the beginning of [[No Time To Cry (song)|No Time To Cry]] was skipped there.
 
: On the present item non of the songs is shortened.

Sound Comparison


Further observations

  • The up and down turning of the speed in Floorshow (seconds 6 to 7) on the present item, the Complete BBC Radio One Sessions Box,
and likewise on the Gimme Shelter LP, suggests that the source of these two bootlegs was the same and very likely a different one to that of the other bootlegs.
  • On most of the bootlegs mentioned here, some songs are cut, which is clearly audible on Heartland and No Time To Cry.
Sometimes songs get cut on LPs because time available for one record side is limited to about 22 minutes
and going beyond this limit would result in decreased sound quality.
Side 2 of the Psychedelic Sessions 1986 LP, for example, has a total playing time of 23:15 minutes,
which might be the reason why the beginning of No Time To Cry is cut from that record.
  • On the present item all songs appear in full length.
