"The Overture (Sanctuary) 2CD 2-Oct-72 Limited Edition and numbered

Sound Quality 8/10; Appeal 4/5

Wow! The back cover states that this release utilises a previously
unreleased master and this is indeed different to the source used by Tarantura/Patriot as
well as the recently discovered source put out by TDOLZ.
I havent been able to confirm independently whether it is different to the alt. source
that Tarantura used on their 14CD set The Campaign, but I am told it is.

The recording itself is a very good and very clear mono audience recording and only the
fact that it is not stereo keeps it from being excellent.
It is recorded a lot closer to the stage than the TDOLZ source and as a result all
the instruments are a lot clearer and better balanced.
In addition, hiss is practically non existent. The stereo source is utilized for a
few seconds during the intro by the DJ as well as a few seconds during Dazed and Confused
(where the tape/reel was switched over).
BTW, the complete show is presented from DJ Itoi's introduction to the outroduction.

The packaging once again is simply beautiful and is no doubt inspired by
the late Tarantura. It is in the form of a book with
I guess what can be described as a light and shade sunset with
a small live on-stage shot of the band within a circle (depicting the earth?)
and all the necessary info on the back. Once opened, the cds are housed vertically
on the right, while to the left is a pocket that holds a miniature repro of the
ticket for the show as well as a mini repro of the 72 Japan tour program!
Ultra cool! Im glad that this label has experimented with their packaging format
and only hope they will continue to do so. And guess what, there is no commentary from either
Rey’s book or Lewis's and Pallett’s Concert File to be found anywhere... (Lord Byron July 99)"
