REVIEW:

Volume nine of this series was not posted, but it is what is called ‘hidden’ due to the fact that it presents recordings that have been officially released. The project for this volume was to have the Berlin concert as complete as possible. Two tracks here come from a bootleg (source #2) but are absent on the official version (source #1). In the unofficial version the banters were often edited and sometimes in the official version too: this ‘Frankenstein’ is the most complete version as possible. For the mutual tracks it was chosen to merge them in order to have a more interesting sound. The result may be disappointing but let’s remember that the official version is not of very good sound quality either. About the tracks:

Variations around Somebody’s Acting Like A Child [+ reprise]: except from a part before the reprise and the last 5 seconds are solely from source #1, Baby Child has been merged with exception of the 5 last seconds; Checkin’ Up On My Baby was merged  

with exception of the first and the 5 last seconds solely from source #1. When I Lost My Baby Child was merged, the 9 first seconds are solely from source #2 and the 5 last seconds from source #1. 240l was merged, the 9 first seconds & the last second are only from source #2. Treat Me This Way and Goin' Down The Road have been merged with exception of the 1st second and from 3’13 to 4’35 (this part was missed and altered in source #2). Ready To Ride was merged, the 1st and the last 6 seconds are solely from source #1; Tell My Baby was merged: the first 20 seconds are solely from source #1.

Time Has Come is from source #2. Here a big fade in from 1’58 until 2’08 has been upgraded. From 2’35 until 3’00 the right channel was deteriorated; it is now restored by using the left channel duplicated.                   

The 2 short banters come from source #2, then source #1: the first part of the banter was at the end of Time Has Come in source #2 when the second part was before When I See My Baby in the official version. When I See My Baby has been merged, while th e Outro With Band Introduction comes from source #2. The overall sound is quite good nonetheless and the show is long, which is a bit striking if compared with the shortened version of this concert present on the 30 discs official John Mayall box. As for the performance Taylor is superb and his solos drive the whole show.


The best toys are the ones that are both educational and multi-purposeful.
