“Western” in …… the 1980s Japan was shining like magic, this word. Also it is unforgettable that sparkle now, is a former one that shines bright as never seen appeared!
This work, Hall & ultimate version of the official release has been live video “ROCK ‘N SOUL LIVE” in Oates heyday. Speaking of “ROCK ‘N SOUL LIVE”, put songs, in the early 80s that all records had been earnestly hit it out, it is a live video of matches and tours of large masterpiece “H2O”. This work, the “ROCK ‘N SOUL LIVE” that the laser disc master production process turned into DVD. That said “production process master”, the process is just completed just before. Cut split nor mix of sound is finished perfectly, from corner to corner and finished with full integrity. It seems unchanged to see a little when the official video, but actually the first song “Family Man” there is no member ticker should have entered in, it is just the production of the middle of the master!
You might think “ticker …… So? No,” said, but of course, such a thing, only it is not only in evidence. Main issue from here. Taste of the finished just before the master, in was the quality, I precisely before the image quality and sound quality of dubbing in goods for the master is amazing. Professional dubbing in the production site is, to say the higher the precision consumer machine and the dimensions are different, still analog era of the 1980s. It will greatly deteriorated even though dubbing once. It is only even enough terrible small, but more to the point that for a “laser disc master”. At the time, that I did not rare to use the laser disc was the media of up-and-coming into production, somehow Hall & Oates was not crowded grilled as for the master. That is why, there is no degradation to the present day which has undergone more than 30 years of time, traveling unevenness line noise also I had been saved in the state of “At that time as it is” not at all.
The master has been excavated in 2015, this also been digitized straight diving without degradation. That is the true character of this work. I think you understand even just talk about this program, in fact, astounding when its quality is, to witness. This video, has also been on DVD from the official video, but it is clearly different levels of image quality and sound quality. That freshness of the sound of course, was the visual beauty that jump into the surprised eyes in one shot, color also (very!) Beautifully, edge also natural. Far crab official, it’s beyond much!
It only of the that have been recorded in quality, that “H2O” another …… only of the Hall & Oates because of I was out, and Tsu anymore! “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can not Go for That (No Can Do),” “Maneater,” “One on One” will likely masterpieces jump over the brain space-time just by arranging …… Song Title but it jumped out one after another, the storage was raised roll up the sleeves of the shirt as it is Daryl sing in that step! Sing !! Tsu sing !!! course, dull to dull John and GE Smith of the guitar, singing voice of “Italian Girls” is also youthful. “You’ve Lost That Lovin ‘Feelin'” …… If you keep harmony of “She’s Gone”. In fact, since the large masterpiece best “ROCK ‘N SOUL PART 1” and the ultra-luxurious set of only different few songs of the time do they go to live showcase, where are Yara’s good if with a stingy!?

Playing both Te skillfully song, sense even very, let me hear the once listened After an unforgettable melody “Western”. Yourself know that goodness is, it was a little only Hokorashika~tsu “Western”. Among them, it was shone as one mag star mighty It was Hall & Oates. Their large heyday, such as such symbolism is, us came back in 2015 in the official or more of freshness.
And in the manner of dishes the eye is back from school had been marked in the program guide of FM information magazine, that room. Family errand attention to, I was watching the Best Hit USA of midnight in a small sound, that era. The day-to-day is’s the one that comes generally return at that time more than shine. Press the DVD on the planet most dazzling the “80s World” was permanent pack. The one to pull off that can not be Even in the time capsule and the time machine, this weekend, and will deliver to your home!

「洋楽」……80年代の日本で魔法のように輝いていた、この言葉。今も忘れられないあのキラメキが、かつて見たこともないほどまぶしく輝く1枚が登場です!
本作は、ホール&オーツ全盛期に公式リリースされたライヴ・ビデオ「ROCK ‘N SOUL LIVE」の究極版。「ROCK ‘N SOUL LIVE」と言えば、出す曲、出すレコード総てがヒットしまくっていた80年代前半に、大代表作「H2O」のツアーを収めたライヴ・ビデオです。本作は、その「ROCK ‘N SOUL LIVE」制作過程のレーザーディスク・マスターをDVD化したもの。「制作過程マスター」とは言っても、その過程はまさに完成間際。カット割りもサウンドのミックスもパーフェクトに出来上がっており、隅から隅まで完全無欠に仕上がっています。ちょっと見ると公式ビデオと変わらないようですが、実は1曲目「Family Man」で入っているはずのメンバー・テロップがなく、まさしく制作途中のマスターなのです!
「テロップがない……それで?」と思われるかも知れませんが、もちろん、そんなことは、あくまで証拠にすぎません。本題はここから。完成直前マスターの旨みは、そのクオリティでして、商品用マスターにダビングする前の画質・音質こそが凄いのです。プロの制作現場でのダビングは、民生機と次元が違うほど高精度とは言っても、やはり80年代のアナログ時代。たとえダビング1回でも大きく劣化してしまいます。それが少ないだけでも十分に凄いのですが、それ以上にポイントなのが「レーザーディスク・マスター」。当時、新進気鋭のメディアだったレーザーディスクを制作中に使うことは滅多になかったのですが、どういうわけかホール&オーツはマスター用として焼き込んでいた。だからこそ、30年以上の時間を経た現代まで劣化がなく、走行ムラも線ノイズも一切ない「当時そのまま」の状態で保存されていたのです。
そのマスターが2015年に発掘され、これまた劣化なしの直ダイビングでデジタル化された。それが本作の正体なのです。この課程をお話しただけでもご理解いただけると思いますが、実際、そのクオリティは、目の当たりにすると驚異的。この映像は、公式ビデオからDVD化もされていますが、明らかに段違いの画質・音質です。サウンドの鮮度はもちろんのこと、一発で驚くのは目に飛び込む映像美でして、発色も(極めて!)美しく、エッジも自然。公式を遙かに、遙かに超えているのです!
それだけのクオリティで記録されているのが、あの「H2O」を出したばかりのホール&オーツなのですから……もう、もうっ! 「Kiss on My List」「Private Eyes」「I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)」「Maneater」「One on One」……曲名を並べただけで脳が時空を飛び越えてしまいそうな名曲が次々と飛び出し、記憶そのままにシャツの袖をまくり上げたダリルがあのステップで歌う! 歌う!! 歌うっ!!! もちろん、ジョンとG.E.スミスのギターも冴えに冴え、「Italian Girls」の歌声も若々しい。「You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’」「She’s Gone」のハーモニーときたら……。実際、大名作ベスト「ROCK ‘N SOUL PART 1」と数曲違うだけの超豪華セットを当時の彼らが生披露していくのですから、どこにケチを付けたらいいのやら!?

演奏も歌も巧くて、センスも凄くて、一度聴いたら忘れられないメロディを聴かせてくれた「洋楽」。その良さが分かる自分が、ちょっとだけ誇らしかった「洋楽」。その中でも、とびっきりの1等星のように輝いていたのがホール&オーツでした。そんな象徴のような彼らの大全盛期が、オフィシャル以上の鮮度で2015年に還ってきてくれる。
学校から帰っては目を皿のようにしてはFM情報誌の番組表に印を付けていた、あの部屋。家族に気を遣い、小さな音で深夜のベストヒットUSAを見ていた、あの時代。その日々が当時以上の輝きで還ってくる1枚なのです。地球上で一番まぶしく「80年代洋楽」を永久パックしたプレスDVD。タイムカプセルやタイムマシンにだって出来ないことをやってのける1枚を、今週末、あなたのご自宅へお届けします!

★映像に曲目タイトルが入らない、商品製作前段階のマスターを使用しています。(画質は最高クラスです)
