"The Final Rehearsal" has finally landed amongst the various different CD versions of these new tapes having been released to the general ( underground ) public.
A 2 LP set of the main part of the rehearsals, also released by Japanese bootlegger Tarantura but with an apparent mixing down of Jimmy Page's guitar, these are soundboard tapes & won't sound better than these on vinyl.
The Godfather Records has managed to find the full rehearsals & will also be submitting these to CD this month. However as the Godfather release has had judicious editing performed to make the rehearsals sound whole I suspect these are from the cut up tapes that were released just prior to the full thing. We'll keep you updated as to the sound quality ..
The sleeves are the usual glossy, hi-shine production using era correct photos & are pressed on solid, heavy vinyl.
