Hi. Sorry I don't know how to upload stuff- which I guess is why I'm 'old school' & have these releases in the first place! :-).
The Manchester '73 recording on the new DAC release 'Live From England' DOES include 'JJF' for the first time (but no 'SFM'). As usual- DAC's mastering is on the dull side, but- it sounds pretty good.
The BAD NEWS is: Several months ago, a Jap' 'No-Label' release appearred of Glasgow '73, which- even though I'd say is fair-good quality- DAC have completely RUINED IT!. It's like listening to the no-label version, after stuffing a pair of socks into each of your hi-fi speakers!.
It's a disagrace- as DAC seem to actually be downgrading other releases. They did the same fairly recently with 'Hold On Tight'.

JJF from Manchester is indeed a great finding.

I know that the 2 words: 'Sister Morphine' usually stir-up alot of ill-feeling on this board & I don't want to start a riot- as that whole thing just goes on & on & on.
However, SM released Manchester '73 a year or 2 ago (minus JJF) from the same old VGP source & it sounds A MILLION $s, compared to this new DAC version- regardless of whatever source DAC claim to have used.
