Journey: 1974-05-XX Sausalito, CA (FLAC_SB/Studio/FM BX_1 CD)

This is an excellent copy of a show with a few dates that have been passed around through the years.  For a long time, 1974-05-27 was the date given for this studio recorded with a small audience and soon after FM broadcasted show.  But then that date became the date the program was actually aired on reportedly and then 1974-05-12 was introduced as the actual date of the recording in the studio.  But again, that was reported as the (or maybe "an") air date too.  The show was likely aired a few times and I have a low resolution newspaper ad of air dates included in the upload and at the bottom of this post.  I cannot read it with my vision but maybe you can? 

So the actual date is not really known for this studio recording but it is believed to be in May of 1974 when the actual small audience studio recording was made.  All thanks goes to Jerry for this copy of the show he got and worked on and I am uploading now!

I've had a few copies of this recording over the years.  The first is my silver CD Gypsy Eye label copy titled Original Cut that I got from Japan around 1998.  I may do a little comparing later and see if it sounds any better.

It's been a long time since I've listened to the Original Cut copy and I'd need to rip it with EAC to my hard drive and run some TLH tests on it since I have come across a few Gypsy Eye label releases in the last couple of years that were lossy.  In fact, they took a lossy Journey show (all that has surfaced so far of the 1978 Texxas Jam soundboard) I'd worked on and uploaded here.  I shared it on one other site besides my own and within a week or two it was released and being sold by Gypsy Eye and being shared on lossless sites too!  And it was my copy I had remastered without any doubt.  Gypsy Eye knew it was a lossy copy when they downloaded it and put it to silver disc, but they did what they did anyhow.  So my respect for them has deminished somewhat.  But I'll check the copy I got in 1998 titled "Original Cut" because I know it has a more comlete introduction than this copy I am uploading now.  No big deal, but it's worth looking into later and comparing copies.

I hope you enjoy the show...
