'''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.
 
: 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'',
 
: with the exception of [[Lord Of Darkness]], [[Halloween In Arkham]] and [[Jolene bw No Time To Cry]], which are ''very good plus'',
 
: and [[A Black Pack]] that can be considered as ''very good''.
 
: One should bear this in mind while comparing the sounds.
 
 
* 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.

Sound Comparison


Further observations

  • The up- and downturn of the speed in Floorshow (seconds 6 to 7) on the present item, the Complete BBC Radio One Sessions Box, as well as on the 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.
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 was skipped there.
On the present item non of the songs is shortened.
