Iron Butterfly - Galaxy Club 1967 (FLAC)


IRON BUTTERFLY
Galaxy Club, Los Angeles, CA
1967

Lineage: traded CDR > Steinberg > Carbon-Hi-Space CDR > Flac > you

"A fantastic recording, hard and very, very psychedelic, sometimes strange."


This is an interesting tape. The original info said it's an audience tape, but I'd swear it is a soundboard. The stereo separation seems to great to not be a soundboard. How else could you have the drums in one channel and everything else in the other channel with only a little bleed through. It is a tad muffled, but otherwise the sound quality is great.

If all you know of Iron Butterfly is "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", this 1967 show may be a shock. Recorded before their 1968 debut album, "Heavy", only four of these songs would be recorded in the studio. To once again quote the original info file that came with this recording, "very psychedelic, sometimes strange".

Lineup:
Doug Ingle (vocals, organ)
Ron Bushy (drums)
Jerry Penrod (bass)
Danny Weis (guitar)
Darryl DeLoach (tambourine)

This is another Trade Mark of Quality (TMOQ) classic early 70's recording.
I originally copied the master reels from a Tandberg to my Revox B77 in 1986.
From the Revox copy I transferred to a DAT in the 1990's and the first generation reels were tossed out.
A bad move but the tape had so many dropouts it seemed worthless and I never though that I would have the only first generation copy around.
Didn't even think it was worthy of recording at the SP speed and recorded it at LP so the sample rate is only 32 KHz and the high-end rolls off after 16KHz.
The first task was to review and fix the original splices of the tape flips, which occur about every 22 minutes (5'' tape at 7 1/2 ips).
The bigger technical challenge was cleaning up the dropouts from the master tapes, my reel copy and the DAT copy.
A lot of time was spent removing and smoothing out the hundreds (more likely over a thousand) of the micro-gaps and volume fluctuations found on this tape.
The worst sections were during the first few minutes of each disc (beginning of each master tape reel) and again from Concentration Moon to the end (the third reel).
I originally made this without any sound filters and the bass was so heavy it was hard to listen to.
An equalization of -7dB below 400 Hz was applied to remove the muddy booming (and it is still a bit bass heavy).
Next the louder passages are distorted so to reduce the harshness the max volume was reduced using a light compression.
The overall amplitude was then raised by 4dB.
These changes improved the spectral balance but increased the background hiss levels.
So finally a light (15%) inverting noise filter was applied to reduce this hiss a little.
Care was taken not to apply this to the low frequencies thus avoiding that metallic sound.



Tracks cut with CD Wave
Flac conversion (Level 8) with fingerprints and checksums performed with Traders Little Helper

As a note.
This copy comes from the actual masters (3 - 5" reel to reel tapes) and is the complete concert (minus tape flip loss).
Relegated to the dark corners of my collection due to the dropout issue this recording is now worthy to be shared.
Still not perfect but it is much easier to listen to than my DAT tape.
Hope you all enjoy this restoration of a precious historical document.

This is the Late Show from the second night ( two nights in a row, two shows each night ). The recording is a bit "hot", but the sound is still pretty excellent. I had not listened to this tape for many years because my copy ran very, very fast. I am happy to share this speed corrected version, as this is a great show. The band is raging and Don is also really "on" here. The vocals are awesome. Don is intense in his delivery, getting more into it as the show progresses. The vocal fade out at the end of 'Doctor Dark' here is incredible. The room is silent and Don really kills it ! Following that amazing, fading finish quickly Don starts 'Bat Chain Puller' with a roar. Very cool. The band intros follow Bat Chain Puller.

After 'Sheriff Of Hong Kong' Don wishes everybody a Merry Christmas and even shouts a
"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho" ! This is another show in which Don is very chatty and quite funny.

Interesting start here, Eric plays the Hair Pie Bass solo all the way through and then he starts it up again as Don joins in on Sax. They finish that and eventually Don plays a tape recording of himself through the mic. After that they play Hair Pie again ( bass and sax only ) !

Last year the Late Show from the first night was shared out here. Let's hope the Early shows do the same.

Aside from the occasional out of tune guitar, this is one of the better performances by the 80/81 band ! A very enjoyable listen. Have fun.

Much thanks to the taper and all of my old trading friends.
