NOTES:

A combination of audience sources and the well known Welcome To New York soundboard to make a complete 1972 show. Much better audience sources than VGP-312.

The Madison Square Garden performance on July 26, 1972 is one of those fine moments in Rolling Stones live recorded history. Perhaps it's the fact that it was Jagger's 29th birthday that made such a difference. The energy and delivery of the performance is captured in an incredible "line" soundboard stereo recording. The "wide" stereo separation features Richards and keyboards on the left, Taylor on the right, drums and vocal in the middle, and horns split between the two channels. Interestingly enough it's the original vinyl discs that provide the basis for sound benchmarks of the CD recordings. The reason for this is that the tape source for the incredible vinyl LP's first issued by Trade Mark of Quality (TMoQ) out of greater Los Angeles county has never turned-up in tape trading circles. With this in mind one can only look for the finest sound reproduction on CD's made from the old LP's. The finest CD copy of the original "Welcome To New York" LP ends up on an unusual recording and not The Swingin' Pig as one might expect. The original LP's were issued by the TMoQ label in several variations with matrix numbers that identify original mono issues from later "wide" stereo issues. The running order of the songs also varies from the original RS-546 matrix number.

Mick Jagger's 29th birthday was also the last concert of the '72 tour.  Legend has it this stereo soundboard recording was stolen from the mixing desk by 2 fans.  Some LPs ("Tour '72," some versions of "Madison") are in mono and only have the "Mick Taylor" channel so Keith can barely be heard.  Swingin' Pig releases are dubbed from old vinyl and drastically over NoNoised.  Best source

is old vinyl with 'RS 546 REI' written in the dead wax.  Good luck finding a copy!  Next best is probably the later pressing with the '2815' matrix; these are considerably easier to find.
