Comments: I saw Total Eclipse repackaged. It is in a white folder type thing that looks like a fairly cheap plastic holder. I assume it folds open and has two discs on each side (it was that sort of size). The artwork is a faded version of the original, sporting the Great Dane dog head on the spine but no catalogue number or bar code on the back. No clue about the book inside... It was retailing for $80. Looks to me like the people that have brought us the continued Meddler and Azimuth have added this to their stable... - DAve. 

TOTAL ECLIPSE was conceived in 1993, well into Great Dane's ambitious "Pink Floyd Project." Great Dane had wanted to put out a box set that would appeal to the fans who had been terribly dissapointed with "Shine On," Pink Floyd's official release. It's purpose was to attempt to bring to the fans a comprehensive overview of the band's career, substituting rare material and alternative tracks wherever possible. This is the reason why many of the early singles and B-sides were included (which many people question). Much "Top Gear" material was also included because not only were the sound sources believed to be the better than on any previously released RoIO, but also because it seemed that these tracks should also be represented in the band's history. TOTAL ECLIPSE was meant to be chronological (although a few tracks are out of order) and comprehensive; something that could be listened to from beginning to end. 

In retrospect, things probably could have been different. Originally TOTAL ECLIPSE was planned to be a 5 CD set, but Great Dane wanted to utilize it's 4 CD "Book" format, presenting 2 CD's on the insides of the front and back covers (this was the first of many Great Dane releases to be packaged in this manner), with an extensive booklet sandwiched between. Although the 5 CD set was ready to go into production (as far as the remastered DATS were concerned), remastering had to start all over again, and cuts had to be made. 

In hindsight, the extensive "Nick's Boogie" could have been omited, making room for a few other early tracks, as well as some of the material from DSOTM ("Breath," "On The Run," and "The Great Gig In The Sky"), previously issued on other RoIO's. This might have left room for rare tracks such as "Main Theme From More," "Obscured By Clouds" and "When You're In," and the much requested "Childhood's End." The recent live singles an B-sides from 1987's DSOT tour, "Run Like Hell," and "Money," could also have made room for these rarities. Quality was also a major factor, this being the reason why certain desirable rarities were omitted. Perhaps the biggest regret was the omission of "Lucy Leave" and "King Bee", whose authenticity were still questionable at the time. It was not worth taking the risk of compromising the integrity of this release with a few possibly bogus recordings. 

But the efforts put forth, warts and all, seemed to have paid off. Over three years later, it seems that the fans hold TOTAL ECLIPSE in very high regards, and that was my intention to begin with. 

Unfortunately, once all of the material (remastered tapes, photos, text, and original artwork) were assembled and shipped to Italy, the production and manufacturing were out of my hands, Great Dane's releases got more elaborate, more ambitious, and certainly more professional over the years, so I'm glad that I wasn't asked to produce TOTAL ECLIPSE at the start of the great "Pink Floyd Project" (which was to release definitive CD's representing each of the band's major tours). 

Not being RoLO's, these projects obviously had their limitations. I helped to produce these CD's not only to preserve the best of my audio collection on a (hopefully) longer lasting and more durable format, I wanted to present something that I would buy for myself. I also wanted to show respect for the fans, offering them something that had some thought behind it, making it worth their hard earned cash. 

TOTAL ECLIPSE went through three pressings before Great Dane went under due to the Gat Treaty. The second pressing had two even columns on the back cover displaying the track listing. The image on the cover was also sharper and closer to the color of the original artwork. Almost ten thousand copies were produced and undoubtedly sold. 

To address other issues stated in comments concerning this RoIO, the "barely readable articles" were included, not to be "read," but for "artistic" purposes only. For some unknown reason, "Murderistic Women" was omitted (although it was included in the liner notes), and "The Massed Gadgets..." was split into two tracks (although it plays out seamlessly). If any tracks seem speeded up or too slow, that is unfortunately the nature of some RoIO's, and the lack of sophisticated equipment (at the time) on my end to make those corrections.

Comments 
The tale says that this concert was recorded by a man who worked for the brazilian newspaper running the concert. He was a Genesis fan (I think everybody in Brazil was a Genesis fan back in 1977...) and taped it from the soundboard using a reel-to-reel tape recorder. Several years later, at the beginning of 2002, he passed this reel to a friend who remastered it into DAT and released this version of the concert to the bootleg stores. 

This is my revenge for this act and since I paid almost US$ 25 for this boot I'm going to spread this concert all around the world. This concert is part of my teenage years since I was only 13 years old at the time and it was my second live concert ever! I was there and this was the first time a band brought a laser lightshow device to Brazil. It was kind of magic for me to see the laser show!

Hope everybody enjoys it as much as I did then and now!

The concert starts with an announcer saying: "Aquarius Project 1977, O Globo newspaper present Genesis in Concert!"

The Aquarius Project was a cultural project run by Globo Organization that brought several bands to Brazil, including Rick Wakeman and his Voyage to The Center Of The Earth, back in 1975, my very first live rock concert.

Notes:
Without knowing anything about how the U2 online fan community works and how they would react we went ahead and did this project after getting a copy of the 4Reel Productions release of this show. That one was a fine release with two good cameras as seperate angles on the disc and a nice audio track. Why wasn't the 2 cams mixed we in RCR asked ourself? We quickly realized why cause it would look like shit since the counters didn't run the same numbers so a mix would be annoying to watch. In true RCR style we went ahead to fix this. The answer was to crop the video to 16:9 format to loose the counter. The audio remains intact and for the last few songs there is only one camera  used cause the second is useless due to problems with the stage light.

This is Squeeze back in 1981, and to make you feel as old as I do, this concert was performed a couple of years after 'Cool For Cats' was released, and almost a year after Jools Holland left the band, you know the score 'oh how time flies'. 

This includes some of the best Squeeze songs from their early years, and goes to show just how good a live act they have always been. 

'Too Many Teardrops' and 'I've Returned' are missing from the original BBC recording, otherwise it is the full concert recording.

This concert is from the golden era!
It appears partially on the ultra limited bootleg (150 copies) called "Presence of Mind". Here is the comments of the vinyl from the huge "Dream Giver" site:

"Hello, how are you? This is the Sparkle In The Rain tour.This is the capital city.Open up". Charlie's already there with a unique new melody, which is captured with clarity. "Someday soon you'll make me happy, cause all across the land it's East At Easter" In fact, with different melodies from Mick and new drumming from Mel, the song only keeps its lyric from it's album version.Great start. "On drums, the best young drummer in the world, Mel Gaynor" and with that introduction, the band shoot into Up On The Catwalk. Again, the arrangement is now familiar from the other bootlegs (not much different to the live version on Alive And Kicking)

"Let's open up and grow up! This is called The Book Of Brilliant Things. This recording is clearer than Selfluminous and you can really hear Mick in the mix. The slow quiet instrumental can also be fully appreciated for the first time.

A great version of Glittering Prize followed, and then Jim announced "If we can go back a couple of years to a record called Sister Feelings Call - Derek! and the band break into the Sparkle version of The American. With all the changes, the new intro and verse, Jim's extra vocalising and the clarity of this bootleg, this makes this performance the definitive version for this tour.

With Jim's usual intro talk, the drum samples of King Is White And In The Crowd start. Charlie's new improvisation is there, and Mick's subtle playing and melodies can now be heard clearly. There's a break in the recording and it resumes with Jim's announcement of Speed Your Love To Me. "Where are we going" asked Jim. "Higher" reply the audience as the instrumental pause in the middle of the song starts, Charlie starts to improvise, and Jim breaks into the C Moon Cry Like A Baby bridge. Again, this is the definitive version of this coupling." You go to my head!

New Order - 1985-05-15 - Perth, AU (SBD/FLAC)




(Soundboard FLAC)

15 May 1985: Canterbury Court, Perth, Australia (OZ/NZ85 stash tape)
(unknown gig, probably 15 May 1985 Canterbury Court, Perth, Australia)

source: Hooky's rubbish bin (the "stash" tapes)
lineage: Master soundboard recording cassette
analogloyalist mastering September 2012

This is, possibly, the worst New Order gig ever.

Fucked up guitar lines? Check.
Misread setlist? Check.
Entire-song key transpositions on one instrument only? Check.
Fucked up bass lines? Check.

The entire gig is just a sloppy, poorly-performed mess. It's perhaps living proof that, in the day, a New Order gig was either going to be one of the best ever gigs you ever saw, or the worst. Which is why - while not an everyday listen for me - I love this tape.

To add insult to injury, we don't actually know what this gig is! The stash box o' tapes labeled this as "OZ/NZ85" both on the manifest, and the tape itself. For a long time New Order gig sleuths believed it was actually from the Fox Theater, Atlanta GA 11 Aug 1985, but further close analysis has caused a significant rethink of this. What little of the audience you can make out doesn't sound American, or even American South. The punter yelling for the Joy Division song "Transmission" doesn't prounounce the "Trans" bit like an American (think "Treans" but little emphasis on the "e"); rather, it sounds English or Antipodean ("Trahns"). Same with the punter yelling for "In A Lonely Place".

Here's the analysis from a detective, posted in our humble site host's writeup of this, which he has defaulted to listing under the 11 Aug 85 entry:

"I've been doing some more detective work...... I remembered seeing a poster on eBay last year for Perth Canterbury Court 15/5/85, but hadn't realised that this was an unknown gig until looking at your gigography. I know we hadn't got a recording, or so we thought....

I've done a lot of listening to the horror show that we had previously tentatively identified as Atlanta Fox Theater 11/8/85, but I am now starting to come over heavily to the idea that this is indeed the Perth 15/5/85 show.

- The CD I got had OZ/NZ85 written on it - this is how it was labelled when it went to David Sultan in the first place as part of that box.
- The performance is very much one of a band who haven't been rehearsing, rather than one mid-tour, as would have been the case for Atlanta.
- The setlist fits in better with what they were doing in Hong Kong/Japan/ Australia than it does the US - many overlaps with the New Orleans 12/8/85 show but hardly any with the Melbourne 17/5/85 show, which fits in with their rotation policy.
- "As It Is When It Was" is better formed than the Japanese versions, but not as advanced as the US versions, and the lyrics are the same as Brisbane five days later.
- The voice that calls out for "In A Lonely Place" when Bernard picks up his melodica before "Hurt" is not an American one....sounds more Antipodean to me.

Still in stitches over some of the performances that night - "Subculture" on the wrong bass string, shoddy "Sunrise" guitar work, an apocalyptic "Chosen Time", Bernard's failure to read the setlist, Gillian striking again on "STYT"..... quite possibly the worst ever performance I would think!"

So, I'm going with the newthink and calling it Perth 15 May 1985. What pins it for me is that what Barney was meaning to introduce as "a very new song" - "As It Is When It Was" - was indeed a very new song for May 1985, having just entered the setlists earlier in the month in Japan. By the time of the American tour in late summer 1985, it had been played a fair bit and would no longer have been a "very new song".

My favorite part of this gig is the entirety of "Death Rattle". Gillian performs the whole song in the wrong key, causing Barney to give up all pretense of performance and just have fun with it.

I really like the "Sunrise" intro, for whatever reason. "Temptation" has a somewhat unique opening that I also dig quite a bit; it's a shame that we only get about 5+ minutes of the song until it's faded out due to it being on the tape flip spot.

A technical note: Until about one minute into "Age Of Consent" the levels are in spots overloaded, causing significant distortion at times in the first three (and a half) songs. I think it's the tape and not the transfer; the overall level of the transfer didn't change throughout but the worst distortion magically clears up when presumably Oz finally pulled back on the levels mid-song (there are still lesser distorted bits throughout however).

02 Sooner Than You Think
03 Subculture
04 Age Of Consent
05 A Bullet In My Ear (As It Is When It Was)
06 Cramp
07 586
08 Death Rattle
09 Temptation
10 The Perfect Kiss
