The abbreviations for the master tapes are as follows:
BOT72 = Best Of Tour 72. 1st pressing pristine vinyl.
MC = Master Clone - A 2nd gen copy of what I believe to be taper 2. Not that tonally brilliant, but a good clean recording, for the most part complete.
FS = Franco S., a big Italian collector living in Germany. Same original source as MC
N = Nostrum, coming from WRomanus and Yogaman Collections.
JG = From Jason G. USA. From this source only the phrase "this is Echoes", because it was much more audible on this version. Probably taper 1.
ACR = Atomic Crow Recording - this version is pretty much the same as MC, but claims to be 4th gen. It contains portions not on MC, so I used it as a patch. A little distortion and some NR artifacts made me not use this as the basis.
For set 1 I used the BOT72.
Heart Beat Intro (Speak To Me) is from FS.
I filled the missing portions in Time and Us and Them with MC.
Eclipse is ended with the ACR tape.
The BOT72 (and all subsequent versions) slows down gradually during the second half of Money and continues until the break in Us and Them where the piece is missing. I speed corrected this.
All the songs for the set 2 are from MC.
The tune up before OOTD is from N.
The tune up between OOTD and CWTAE is from FS.
The dialogue is from ACR.
Tune ups before Echoes are from FS, but the announcement of the song title is from JG as mentioned above.
Tune Ups between Echoes and ASOS are from N.
Tune up after Something Different is from FS.
At this point the alignment of the tape seems to be real bad, but its generations down the line. I used the right channel only as the left was pretty bad.
There is a 2db boost in the left channel on all content from MC beginning at CWTAE.
All pieces from FS are speed corrected.
