As I founder when it comes to words, I simply needed to put this out there as the finest example of a Meddle performance I've ever heard. Echoes is brilliant. The sound quality is amazing, and the performance is flawless.

So, take this one under advisement. Hit it and hit it hard.

Here it is, the infamous Meddled ROIO, feverishly sought after by Floyd fans wanting to hear what Meddler was supposed to sound like before being mistakenly edited to mono.
It came from an FM broadcast over the BBC in England. The stereo dimension adds so much to the recording, you can actually hear very distinctly what each band member is doing.
This ROIO is just an incredible listen from start to finish. The sound is amazing as is the performance of the Floyd. Fat Old Sun never sounded better. It is important to note, Embryo and Blues came from a different original source I believe. You can read all about this title (and Meddler) at the following URL:

One of the best Floyd ROIO's ever made, bar none. Sit back and enjoy the music.

Incidentally, the original "Meddled" was a mono release. I've got it, and while it's great, and the sound quality is great. This release entitled "Meddler" is actually a stereo mix of the same performance.

I think that it's all over the place now. This one that I listed has a link to either rapidshare or megaupload. I've gotten a lot from these downloader sites. A lot of bloggers who post these bootlegs use sites like these as repositories.
