Isaac, is the vinyl cut from a digital file?

Hi Tullman.Yes, the vinyl in the end was mastered from a digital mixdown.
This release, which includes the entire first show form 12/31/69 was mixed down to several flavors of hirez digital from the original 8 track one inch multitrack tape recorded by Eddie Kramer. An all analog vinyl mastering would have required a mixdown to tape. I think an attempt was made to this but there were some technical issues.
The end result is quite stunning. To me the DSD sounds the best.

Hi Isaak, thanks for the response. Several flavors of hi-res? So, the vinyl was cut from 24/96, 24/192, or DSD?
Also, was this same processed used for the "Cry of Love" and "Rainbow Bridge" vinyl, which both sound great.
It is also interesting to note that all 4 BOG shows, in their entirety have been available for decades as "unofficial" releases in very decent quality. That is because all 4 shows were recorded at 15 ips 2 track as back up.
This is what I thought about COL and RBB, but internet BS was telling me otherwise. That really clears things up for me. Thanks you very much.
Tullman:The vinyl was ultimately cut from 24/192 and DSD, final decision made with test pressings. DSD was my vote. It sounded the most analog. Downloads will be available as well through all vendors.
Cry Of Love and Rainbow Bridge are AAA mastering my friend. That is because the ORIGINAL analog master mixdown reels were in great shape. No remixes were done.
With the Machine Gun release, there was no "master tape". Just multitrack.
The only previous mixes down from the 4 shows were the tracks originally chosen for the original BOG release.
