Our versions were coming from the same source but only nzb’s version was lossless.
It’s a good recording except for the two first minutes where the sound is seriously damaged a dozen of times and because some passages are saturated: nothing can be done to upgrade it.
They were also big noises on the banter sequences on track 3 and 5 (the worst noises have been deleted).
I amplified the sound a little bit (+2db) and deleted a gap in Lover Man.
The unknown instrumental was cut in two parts at 3’30, they’re now reconnected but some seconds are lost. Same for “Stompin’ At The Savoy” (at 6’58).
“Skylark” was cut in 3 parts. The 2nd & 3rd parts had only the left channel so I kept the left channel (after reconnecting the three parts) and duplicated it. Now the sound is in mono here (same for the last track).
As usual all the infos are taken from The Complete Works Of The Rolling Stones database by Nico Zentgraf: [
