COMMENTS: US BOOTLEG. SOME COPIES ALSO RUBBER STAMPED ‘LIVE IN SANTA MONICA CALIFORNIA 1970’. OFTEN REFERRED TO AS ‘CYMBALINE’ BECAUSE IT WAS LATER RE-ISSUED WITH THAT TITLE. FIRST RELEASED ON 'FARM PIG' TRADE MARK OF QUALITY LABEL ON VARIOUS COLOURED VINYL INITIALLY WITH LARGE 1,2,3,4 ON LABELS AND SUBSEQUENTLY WITH FARM PIG LOGO ON LABEL (VERY FEW PRESSINGS EXIST WITH THE REGULAR STAMPED (PINK FLOYD "LIVE") AND STICKERED TMOQ FARM PIG COVER). ALSO RELEASED WITH SMOKIN' PIG LOGO ON LABEL USING THE SAME PAPER INSERT AND MATRIX NUMBER (ON BLACK AND COLOURED VINYL). CURIOUSLY, THIS ALBUM IS NOT LISTED IN THE ‘OFFICIAL’ TMOQ CATALOGUE. ANOTHER ODDITY IS THAT TMOQ WERE ALSO CERTAINLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DITTOLINO RECORD LABEL AND THIS TITLE WAS RELEASED ON DITTOLINO DISCS AS PINK FLOYD 'LIVE', BUT DIFFERENT PRESSING PLATES WERE USED (D2 A/D) AND THEY THEN REVERTED BACK TO THE ‘2804’ PLATES FOR YET ANOTHER RELEASE, THIS TIME CALLED 'CYMBALINE' ON 'GLC 2804' AND RE-ISSUED YET AGAIN ON 'LXXIV SERIES #16'.
BLACK AND WHITE SPLASH VINYL ISSUE: AT ONE POINT, TMOQ EXPERIMENTED WITH PRESSING A FEW TITLES ON MULTICOLOURED AND B&W SPLASH VINYL. THIS WAS DONE WITH THE GRATEFUL DEAD (HOLLYWOOD PALADIUM PART ONE), DAVID BOWIE (IN AMERICA), DEEP PURPLE (PURPLE FOR A DAY), JETHRO TULL (MY GOD) & BOB DYLAN (TALKIN' BEAR MOUNTAIN MASSACRE PICNIC BLUES) AND A FEW LED ZEPPELIN & ROLLING STONES TITLES. THIS WAS AN EXPERIMENT ONLY - ALTHOUGH A FEW COPIES DID GET OUT - AND THESE PRESSINGS WERE ASSIGNED UNIQUE AND SEQUENTIAL MATRIX NUMBERS. THERE MAY BE OTHERS BUT OVER 30 YEARS LATER, THESE ARE ALL THAT ARE KNOWN. RECENTLY, A COPY OF 'LIVE' APPEARED ON EBAY (ALONG WITH 'OMAYYAD') WHICH APPEARS TO BE A PART OF THIS SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS, IT WAS HOWEVER, A COPY OF THE DYLAN ALBUM PAIRED UP WITH A PINK FLOYD COVER. THIS WAS PUT ON EBAY AS A JOKE (?) AND ALSO AN ATTEMPT TO 'HOOK' ANYONE WHO JUST MIGHT HAVE A COPY OF THE REAL THING.
RARITY RATING: *****(ALL ISSUES)
