Led Zeppelin: 1972-12-22 London, England (FLAC_AUD Source 2 2nd Gen_2 CD)

Here's the source 2, second generation revision originally shared by "KRW_Co" and edited by "pernod" later.

At first listen, I thought source 1 sounded better.  But as I listened and compared more closely I realized this source 2 recording is actually the better sounding copy (as well as more complete).  The source 1 copy has much better high end frequencies present but has slight/heavy (depending upon copy being listened to) distortion in the low end frequencies.  But while source 1 has the potential for better sound and source 2 is lacking in the high frequency area, there is no distortion and the sound is very nice.  On my grading scale I'd call this one a great-to-excellent recording for 1972.

LINEAGE:
2nd Gen tape > CD-R > EAC > FLAC > WAV > EAC Wave Editor, Cool Edit Pro, and WaveLab (editing software) > WAV > CD Wave Edotor > WAV > FLAC Frontend > FLAC 8 > me > TLH > WAV (to test for lossines) > Audacity (to view waveform, embed  metadata/track titles & info, and then to re-encode) > FLAC 8 > TLH (to check for SBE's and create and verify new ffp & md5 files) > you

NOTE:
While the enclosed TLH CDDA Test results text file I added looks suspicious, there is no doubt this is a lossless copy due to the sources ("KRW_Co" & "pernod") who originally shared their work!  The test results are just another case of TLH giving bad information as it is known to do in this one area of its many excellent features and functions.

(1) 1972-12-22 London, England (Source 2 2nd Gen)

To me, this is the best sounding copy of this date so far.  There have been some other good ones, like "dadgad's" source 2 and Source 1 mix, but to my ears they sound either too low end or high end frequencies heavy.  People like "dadgad" know more about audio than I may ever learn.  But I still think "pernod's" copy being uploaded here sounds best!

Here are "pernod's" revision notes:
"Removed silent gap and repeat between BYS and TSRTS
Removed overlap between TRS and DAC (transition from Disc 1 to 2)
Removed micro gap during DAC near the track transition with STH
Removed silent gap between WLL and IS at the cut
Speed correction +1.25%

Retracked with CD Wave to incorporate Plant's announcements to the tracks to which they belong.

Revisions were done with EAC's integrated wave editor, CEP, WaveLab and CD Wave. Sector Boundary Errors have been fixed with shn tool."

I hope you enjoy the source 2 recording from this show...
