- jjjbaggins12 years 6 months agoCool but curious...I agree with the comments about the remastering/source for this vinyl. First of all, I don't know anyone who doesn't have stellar copies of the France shows, even before they were remastered and released recently. Even if I didn't, I could buy the whole show for the same price as this one song, although I agree that everything sounds better on heavy vinyl with a diamond stylus on the high fi. I'm no tech wizard but if there is some difference with going back to analog and going straight to vinyl then THAT would be a very special addition to my collection. Also, I saw this advertised as a "previously unreleased" version, and in the store I chuckled while pointing out that all of the Europe '72 shows had been released. The response: Well, it hasn't been released on vinyl before. Um, ok.... Next year, if it was a collection of soundchecks from the tour on limited release vinyl, then I would be camping out weeks in advance.
