Track 01 - Flaming Our original release was a little hissy. The "At Dawn" version had been equalized to eliminate the hiss, but this was overdone and resulted in a "bassy" track. I've reequalized our original track. The rev A version is not hissy and not bassy either. The balance has been recentered to mono too. Track 02 - Scarecrow The balance has been recentered to mono. Track 03 - Matilda Mother The "At Dawn" version was slightly clearer than our original. This rev A release uses the "At Dawn" version with the balance recentered to mono. Ron also reFrankentooned the first note. In addition, the tray artwork has been updated to give the correct spelling of 'Matilda'. Track 04 - The Gnome Again, the "At Dawn" version is used here as it had slightly better SQ. We used our version to restore the start of the song that was missing on "At Dawn". The balance was recentered to mono. Track 05 - Pow R Toc H The balance was recentered to mono. Track 06 - Vegetable Man The "At Dawn" version is used here. And the balance was recentered. But that's not all... This is the biggest change on this release. The speed has been significantly slowed down. The recent Omnibus special on Syd Barrett and the Pink Floyd included some snippets of Vegetable Man. The RoIO used for this BBC show came direct from the BBC Archives. As such, we feel we may have found a valid speed reference. The speed of Vegetable Man on our rev A release matches that used in the Omnibus special. This is a lot slower than you're probably used to hearing for this song. But, it is very nice and natural. Enjoy! [06:39] Track 07 - Scream Thy Last Scream A balance recentered, speed corrected version sourced from "At Dawn" is used here.
