Album DescriptionAvailable in:
The most surprising release of 2003 for every Tangerine Dream fan was most probably The Bootleg Box Set Vol. 1. Sanctuary Music, well known for their numerous re-releases of TD material of the Pink and the Blue Years era, had been very successful with a series of bootleg boxes by ELP (Emerson, Lake & Palmer) and approached Tangerine Dream for the same type of thing. Since they wanted old material and were pressing to get these boxes into the pipeline as swiftly as possible, TD could not go into the process of scanning their own archives and restoring old tapes. So they chose to use readily available bootleg sources for the first two planned sets. One of the best and easiest sources was the Tangerine Tree fan project, hence Edgar Froese and Jerome Froese selected ten shows from the first two tree sets, which Jerome Froese then cleaned up and mastered with DQC without any overdubbing.
So The Bootleg Box Set Vol. 1 includes five concerts from the years 1974 to 1976, four of them with the line-up Froese/Franke/Baumann and one featuring Michael Hoenig instead of Peter Baumann. The sound quality is indeed even slightly better than the very good quality of the Tangerine Tree volumes, considering that these are no professional recordings but mostly fan audience tapes of the mid seventies.
