Pigs (Three Different Ones) - Pink Floyd cover

Hey guys,

I put this track up for bashing a few months ago and have since re-worked some of the elements based on your inputs. I used a drier, mid-rangey, snarling rhythm guitar tone (Orange amps in stereo), and cut some of the reverb off the vox. Overall I think it's a solid improvement but would love to hear your thoughts. Does it stand up to the Floyd original?

Pink Floyd at Sound Techniques 1967

I was watching the Peter Whitehead film of the Pink Floyd recording at Sound Techniques in Chelsea, curious to see what it revealed about drum microphone placement. It was interesting to see that the drums were miked with one kick drum mic and one overhead mic (which looked like it was sticking right into Nick Mason's face). Nothing on the snare, and only one of the double kicks was miked.
