Notes
This has been circulating in a somewhat abbreviated format: the end jam on "Blazing Apostles" is shortened by 5 minutes or so. This is probably because WXRT has aired an edited version of this on several occasions. My copy is from their first broadcast of this show on June 27, 1976 on their Sunday Night Concert, and has the complete 18-minute "Blazing Apostles". It is their complete show, as far as I know. As might be expected, this has a little bit of FM and tape hiss, But I have done no processing to this other than for track splits. A nice show, I'd rate it an A, but some would downgrade it to A- due to the hiss or the mix. It's kind of a loud mix, but to these ears, very nice. This may also be floating around under various dates in April or May of 1976. When first broadcast, I wrote down the date and double-checked with a friend who was at the show, so I'm 99% sure of the date. Be Bop opened for Thin Lizzy at this show. Grab that one as well, if you see it, it's one of Thin Lizzy's best.
Comment from a trader who was at the concert:
One of the great things about trading music is that you get to relive those pivotal concerts of the past. Such is the case with the 1976 Be Bop Deluxe show from the Riviera Theatre, Chicago. I, was at that show. Be Bop Deluxe opened for Thin Lizzy on the first date of their American Tour. I believe it was the first American date for Be Bop Deluxe. The concert was breathtaking. Both bands had such energy, such power in that small theater. It was one of those shows where when you walk out you just know you witnessed something extraordinary. The remastering that was done on this show truly does capture that energy all over again. Those soaring guitar solos from Bill Nelson are doing it to me again. Listening to this show again makes me again say, "This is why I collect and love music so much."

Pink Floyd - Pinkie Milkie (KRCR 21)
Info from here: https://www.pf-roio.de/roio/roio-cd/pinkie_milkie.cd.html
1. Arnold Layne
This is the regular single version, in mono (it sounds exactly like the official "Early Singles" version). The stereo version can be found on "Relics". This track was recorded at Sound Techniques Studios, London, on 11-12 Jan 1967. The single was released on 11 Mar 1967. Sound quality: Sup!
2. Candy And A Currant Bun
("Candy And A Currant" on the tracklist) As above, this is the regular version, in mono, as it appears on the official "Pink Floyd Early Singles". This track was the B-side of the "Arnold Layne" single, and was recorded during the same sessions. Sound quality: Sup!
3. Flaming
("Flamming" on the tracklist) This is the alternate mix, as it appeared on the 3rd U.S. single, released on 5 Aug 1967, on Capitol's Tower label. This single was released on U.S. because this track didn't appear on the U.S. release of "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn". The mix is not so different from the regular one, just a little bit rough, and with some background sounds mixed louder. It's mono. Quality, again, is the best you can find. There are no vinyl crackles, so I guess this must have been taken from the Westwood One CD sampler "A CD Full Of Secrets". Sound quality: Sup
4. Scream Thy Last Scream
This one is wonderful! The famous unreleased single appears here with the best sound quality ever. There's absolutely no tape hiss, no distortion, no background noise! Sound quality is better than on "Magnesium Proverbs", "Sights And Sounds Of Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd", "Early Singles"... If you want the definitive STLS version, get this CD. It was recorded on 9 Aug 1967, and it was planned to be the third U.K. single (w/ "Vegetable Man" as the B-side), but it was cancelled, so the third single (the last with Barrett) was finally "Apples And Oranges"/"Paintbox", released on 18 Nov 1967. Sound quality: Sup!
5. Julia Dream
Recorded on 25 June 1968 for BBC's "Top Gear", 201 Picadilly Studio 1 in London. Excellent quality, better than most of other "BBC sessions" RoIOs. The only RoIO I know with comparable sound quality is "Ultra Rare Trax Vol.1". Sound quality: Ex+
6. Point Me At The Sky
The booklet says this was taken from the same "Top Gear" session, but this is exactly the same version as the mono version that appears on the official "Pink Floyd Early Singles". Perfect sound quality, although I prefer the "stereo" version on the Westwood One CD sampler "A CD Full Of Secrets". Sound quality: Sup!
7. Embryo
Wrongly listed as from "Top Gear" 14 Jan 1970. It's in fact from the 2 Dec 1968 "Top Gear" session, Maida Vale Studio 4, London. Sound quality is OK, but not as good as for "Julia Dream". Sound quality: Ex-
8. Atom Heart Mother
This is the performance for the "Peel Sunday Concert" broadcast, recorded on 16 July 1970, at the BBC Paris Theatre, London. The date on the booklet is wrong (16 Sept 1970). This is the whole song, 24 minutes long, with the orchestra. Sound is excellent, but in MONO! In all the X-references I know, this broadcast is in stereo! It's a pity they didn't find the stereo source for this CD. Sound quality: Sup-
9. Breathe
The booklet says it's a demo version, dated 17 Feb 1970. It's WRONG. This is from one of the very first public performances of "The Dark Side Of The Moon". It was recorded in London, at the Rainbow Theatre, 17 Feb 1972. So the booklet at least had the right day and month! Excellent stereo (maybe soundboard). It sounds like a copy of version on the "Best Of Tour 1972" RoIO (Swinging Pig), with the very good NoNoise mastering. Sound quality: Ex+
10. On The Run
Same as for "Breathe". Booklet is wrong about the date and the source. This is from 17 Feb 1972. This version of OtR is the "jam" version, very different from the version on the official DSotM (released more than one year later!). Sound quality: Ex+
11. Money
This time, this is really a demo version. Roger Waters sings the lyrics, accompying himself on acoustic guitar. Very interesting, because it's very different from the final developpement of the song. There's no Gilmour, Wright or Mason here. It's obvious that this track was recorded months before the first public performances, since it's a very "minimal" version. I think the year could be 1971 (not 1972, as listed on the booklet). This is a mono recording. Sound quality: Ex+
12. Pigs On The Wing Pt.I-II
This is the complete studio version of this song, as the Floyd recorded it, in 1977. Between the first and second part, there's an electric guitar solo by Snowy White (he was the second guitarist on the "In the Flesh" tour). Unfortunately, they decided to cut this song in two parts for the album "Animals", and the beautiful middle part with Snowy White disappeared! The full version can only be found on the very rare 8-track release of "Animals". So here it is, in stereo, with some tape hiss (but not too annoying). Sound quality: Sup-
13. Mother
Taken from the film version of "The Wall". The song is very different from the album version. The sound is really superb, in stereo. I think they copied it directly from the LaserDisk. Sound quality: Sup!
14. Empty Spaces / What Shall We Do Now?
Listed as "Outside The Wall" on the booklet! This follows "Mother" on the film. "What Shall We Do Now" wasn't on the album version, but was played during "The Wall" shows. Sound quality: Sup!
15. Wish You Were Here
Public performance, recorded on 20 Oct 1994, Earls Court, London. The sound quality seems to be better than on the (even excellent) TV broadcast RoIOs. So this could have been copied directly from the official "P.U.L.S.E" video. Sound quality: Sup
