December 1st was the 8th show out of 10 in France, which was as hugely popular as Germany at the time, from Pink Floyd's European tour in late 1972, ahead of the release of their new album "Madness" the following year. High-quality line recording of the St. Owen performance near Paris. (Since it is an AM radio broadcast, it is recorded in monaural line.) A take broadcast by the local radio station "RTL". Although it has been a familiar sound source from the past, this edition includes a version created based on the "1st Gen" take uploaded by "Neonknight", a specialist who is well known on the internet. The 1st Gen version of the DAT tape of "Neonknight" has some overlapping parts, and this edition contains takes that were corrected by overseas enthusiasts. Although there are some momentary defects from the original, you can listen to the radio sound source of the St. Owen performance, which has been familiar to enthusiasts for a long time, in the best audio freshness and condition. This sound source was released in 2012 under the title "SAINT OUEN 1972", and this includes the first half of Speak To Me, Breathe, On The Run, which were missing in the radio version, and the first half of On The Run. One Of These The first part of Days, Echoes (about 10 minutes in total) is connected with a natural texture from the previous show in Poitiers, France on November 29th, making it a pseudo-complete version. On the other hand, this online version only contains the radio sound source of St. Owen's performance. I think this board is more suitable for purely enjoying this broadcast sound source. Unlike the Sigma version, which has been thoroughly filled with missing parts, repaired cuts and deterioration, and thoroughly equalized, this version allows you to listen to the original sound of the 1972 RTL broadcast version from beginning to end on the time-honoured "1st Gen". The best advantage of the board. In contrast to the Sigma version, which has a crisp, high-frequency sound quality that is typical of broadcast sound sources, this time's "1st Gen" is thicker and thicker, yet full of natural profoundness and a vintage feel in a good sense. It may seem bland at first (I think it has been like this since the original recording, but the sound quality gradually increases as the concert progresses), but from beginning to end, you can't force equalization or Since the sound has not been changed by remastering, the overall ``feeling of listening to something good'' is exquisite. The charm of the "as is" sound that only Ogen's sound has is exquisite, and I feel that Echoes, etc. in particular are a complete victory for "1st Gen." If you like bright, cool, and solid sounds, we recommend the Sigma version, but for those who prefer original sound that emphasizes freshness and is free from overly processed sounds, we overwhelmingly recommend this one. You may be disappointed if you expect a sound similar to the BBC sound source, but since line recordings from this period are limited, "it is often the case that almost full live broadcasts, including ``Madness'' are broadcast. You can listen carefully to this valuable sound source while thinking, ``The band gave me permission.'' (According to one theory, there is information that radio station "RTL" was a sponsor of the French tour, so they were given permission to broadcast it.) Almost all of the new song "Madness" (without the beginning), as well as One Of These Days, The second part, which continues with Careful With That Ax, Eugene, Blues, and Echoes, is also included. The final blow is that the premiere of Childhood's End, which is included in "Obscured By Clouds", was recorded last, and the fact that this song was included in this broadcast version can only be called a miracle in Floyd's history. Its historical value is immeasurable. In any case, the great thing about this sound source is that you can see the details that could not be captured in the audience recording, and it can be said that it is a must-have piece in Floyd research. However, it seems that there were some troubles when recording the radio station, especially Roger's microphone mistakes, and during "Us And Them" and "Brain Damage ~ Eclipse" Roger's microphone was completely turned off. Especially the latter is in a karaoke state. (There is no laughter in "Brain Damage," and suddenly in the second half of Eclipse, only Gilmour's usual raspy vocals can be heard.) Even in "Careful With That Ax, Eugene," Roger's microphone is completely off, and he is seen from a distance. An indescribable take where you can hear Roger's scream. In "Echoes", the light microphone was turned off this time, which is also a valuable record, but it's a shame. In this way, there are some parts where I think the band and management did a good job of allowing the broadcast, but anyway, the quality of the sound source is perfect, and it is definitely a must-have for not only collectors but all Floyd fans. This is the definitive version of St. Owen's "RTL" broadcast sound source take. Please enjoy it. Center Sportif de l'Ile des Vannes, Saint Ouen, France 1st December 1972 SBD Disc 1(40:03) 1.
