Al Stewart – Tour Of The Cat

here is the info file from Dime

Al Stewart – Meag-rare restored vinyl “Tour Of The Cat” Seattle, WA June 1977 SBD – Speed corrected and rejoined (read notes!) mp3 sample included

I have wanted to give this outstanding show a special treatment for a very long time. Having just relocated the album, I found out that the speed problems vary from track to track. Each track, while constant is off a differing amount from the track before and the track after it. Due to the progressive decline in my hearing abilities, I have tried my very best to nail this down. I think I’m just about there. I can tell you that “something” might not be as 100% perfect as it should be, or as it might have been in the past… but I couldn’t tell you what it might be. It’s pretty damn close the way you have it now. And it makes for a much-improved listening experience. Please, if you think you CAN make the pitch better, please do so. At least I’ve tried.

What a great show this is! Mr. Stewart was touring “Year Of The Cat”, and is in top form. The tracks on this LP are probably out of concert sequence:

On The Border

Broadway Hotel

Roads To Moscow

Oh, Carol

Nostradamus

Year Of The Cat

If It Doesn’t Come Naturally, Leave It

Lineage:

LP ->Sound Forge at approximate speed ->comparison of each individual track with Amazon samples using “Virtual Keyboard” ->individual speed correction ->FLAC via TLH, level 6, sectors aligned and verified, FLAC integrity checked

Enjoy!
