Commentaire :

Matrix of 3 different recordings from the same show:

1. ( Last Night Earls Court Vinyl Rip) (Source 1) , SBD, uploaded to BowieStation by Bluemooner as flac: https://www.bowiestation.com/torrents-details.php?id=2538
2. (Earls Court 01 July 1978) (Source 2+3), AUD Matrix, uploaded to BowieStation by learm as flac: https://www.bowiestation.com/torrents-details.php?id=893

Processing:
Flac files of SBD + flac files of AUD Matrix -> transfer to Magix Music Cleaning Lab -> arrangement of matrix (remaster/edit) -> FLAC (44,1 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo) -> bowiestation
Ex sound after some EQ. The ratio of the AUD Matrix in the mix is very low. The SB recording has some parts of the concert missing which are complete in the AUD Matrix. The missing parts are:

1. intro
2. some audience noise between most of the tracks
3. the last chords of Beauty And The Beast
4. band introduction
5. Hang On To Yourself
6. the last 40 seconds of Stay
7. Rebel Rebel

The reason why I made this Matrix not only is that I wanted a complete show but also the sound of the SBD for me is a bit dull and very dry. So by adding this small portion of the AUD Matrix makes the sound wider and adds a lot of live feeling which for me is very important for a live recording. For instance it comes out very clear that by a big part of the audience the slow and contemplative synth tracks from Lodger and Heroes are booed which was typical for the tour. Last but not least the original vinyl rip by Bluemooner has a lot of clicks and crackles which I removed.
So I hope you enjoy it.
I made some cover art which you can find attached here.
