Ron Toon released Animal Instincts (rev0) to the world sometime during the last millennia. Long before Harvested had a QA department. It was my discussions with Ron concerning the clicks, pops, and other glitches in Animal Instincts (rev0) that led to my joining the team. One of my earliest contributions was to deglitch Animal Instincts and the first rev A edition was released.
As the years went by, a much lower generation source for this show emerged. My first knowledge of its existance was the RoIO Mr Pig. Although the SQ on Mr Pig was better than Animal Instincts (you can hear many subtleties not detectable on Animal Instincts revA), Mr Pig had other problems, like clipping, gaps during the tape flips, unbalanced, etc. So the thoughts of doing a rev B began.
We got another source, a better source than Mr Pig. One that didn't have the clipping problem. Then Marc-Olivier went to work. Marc-Oliver spent quite sometime remastering this new source and expertly patching the tape flips. Then it was my turn. I recently finished doing the deglitching and sent a copy to Richard to start the weed.
The highlight of this show is Shine On You Crazy Diamond (parts 6-9). It's the best version of this song ever.
For those of you that already own a copy of Animal Instincts, you know that a bonus track is included at the end of disc two. This being the studio version of Pigs on the Wing with Snowy White providing a bridge between the two parts. Animal Instincts rev0 and revA simple included a copy of this song as it was released on Snowy White's Goldtop CD. We've changed this too for Animal Instincts revB. Now you have the original version (the Pink Floyd mix) as it appeared on the original 8-track tapes, transferred to digital direct from an original 8-track tape. This version is different than the Goldtop version (the Snowy mix).
Harvested is proud to once again provide the definitive edition of this classic performance.
