*Original Notes
Theory Of Ruin Value is a three disc set with the April 27th, 1975 Los Angeles show, the final US show of the spring tour.
A previous release, Hog’s In Smog on Shout To The Top, claimed to be from this date but is in reality the April 26th show with “Money” from the June Boston concert.
There was a concern on this site that Sigma may have unknowingly copied this one with the false date, but the label are much smarter than that.
This is the legitimate complete April 27th show.

The sound quality is very good to almost excellent.
It isn’t as detailed or powerful as the Mike Millard tape from the previous night (The Late Great Millard Tapes Highland HL644/645/646).
There is muffled conversations and comments around the recorder, but not nearly enough to interfere with the enjoyment of the show and in fact even enhances it giving it atmosphere and character.
There is a cut in “Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-5? between 9:48 to 10:10.
An alternate tape is used to fill the gap with a seamless edit.

**Review in Disc**

- Pink Floyd leaders of the underground -

PINK FLOYD could be tomorrow's orchestra. They are one of our most experimental groups and they are the most successful.

At Croydon's Fairfield Hall on Sunday they proved their music has developed grace and beauty as well as the power it always had.

Bathed in pink spotlights, Floyd began with "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" with its long, ominous crescendo. Their crystal clear sound is cleverly controlled. They lifted the audience with near-hypnotic effects, built things up, and left everyone exasperated.

They performed "Embryo" for the first time in public, and made more of the film theme "More" than any other band.

They reverted to rock-blues with Rick Wright on trombone, for a down-to-earth jam. They played new compositions yet-to-be-titled, and an impromptu excursion through time.

Pink Floyd are the first four-man orchestra. Each musician is a different section, and their individual creations blend to form one, whole experience.
