PURPLE CHICK The first press version of breaking the rules was a compilation of the sound sources of the 1964 World Tour. Although the TV appearance in the Netherlands, which decorates the opening of the first piece, was a lip-synching setting like in the 1960s, it was a strange recording that live songs were mixed everywhere because the microphone was turned on for some reason. Therefore, it was a rare TV appearance that was surprisingly enjoyable even if you listened to it only by voice.
Next was the sound source from the performance twice a day in the Netherlands, and the first show was a very rare audience recording at that time. It’s hard to hear each person’s vocals, and it’s as if the audience is singing with the Beatles playing in the background, but that’s also a valuable recording.
Although the second show is short, the sound quality is good with sound board recording, but the chorus is still heard from behind, giving a glimpse of how tremendous the venue was on the day.
And the latter half of the first piece is the famous Adelaide performance as the only complete sound board recording when Jimmie Nicol took the place of Ringo. When it was first excavated, it was valuable and the sound quality was quite high, but the twist of the tape was a stress on listening. Of course, what was recorded here is the best version that you can listen to with confidence without such problems.

The second piece was recorded with the sound board recording and the best version of each of the two stages in Melbourne, which has been familiar for a long time. The sound quality of the second show, which is also famous for video, is very good, and the audio alone is sufficient to hear. It is a high-quality sound source that is one of the three fingers in the 1964 live before the Hollywood Bowl. The fragmentary Sydney performance sandwiched between these two Melbourne sound sources is a recording by a news film shooting company with a sound collecting microphone, and it is a de facto audience recording of a blurred sound image, but this is a tribute.
Rather, it is extremely easy to hear and understand that the two discs were neatly divided into Jimmie Nicol’s participation schedule and after returning to Apple. In addition, sound board recording is also the main. Isn’t this tour still satisfying with this title? A masterpiece like that.

PURPLE CHICK掟破りのプレス化第一弾となったのは1964年のワールド・ツアーの音源をまとめたもの。一枚目のオープニングを飾るオランダでのテレビ出演は60年代らしく口パクセッティングだったにもかかわらず、何故かマイクがオンにされていたことから随所で生歌が混じるという一風変わった収録。よって音声だけで聞いても意外なほど楽しめる珍しいテレビ出演でした。
次に収められたのはオランダでの一日二回公演からの音源でファーストショーは当時としては非常に珍しいオーディエンス録音。各人のボーカルが聞こえ辛く、まるでビートルズの演奏をバックにオーディエンスが合唱しているかのような状態ですが、それもまた貴重な録音かと。
セカンドショーは短いながらもサウンドボード録音で音質も良好ですが、それでもなお後ろから合唱が聞こえており、当日の会場がいかに凄まじい盛り上がりであったかを垣間見させてくれます。
そして一枚目の後半を占めるのはジミー・ニコルがリンゴの代役を務めた時期で唯一の完全版サウンドボード録音として有名なアデレード公演。発掘された当初は貴重で音質もなかなかのクオリティながらテープのヨレがリスニング上のストレスとなっていたもの。もちろんここに収録されたのはそうした問題もなく、安心して聞きこめるベストバージョン。

二枚目は昔からおなじみメルボルン二回のステージそれぞれのサウンドボード録音かつベストバージョンにて収録したもの。映像でも有名なセカンドショーは音質も非常に良く、音声だけでも聞き応え十分。ハリウッド・ボウル以前の64年ライブの中でも三本指に入る高音質音源です。これらメルボルン二回の音源の合間に挟まれた断片的なシドニー公演はニュースフィルム撮影会社による集音マイクによる録音でボケボケな音像の事実上オーディエンス録音ですが、これはご愛敬。
むしろ二枚のディスクをジミー・ニコル参加日程とリンゴ復帰後で奇麗に分けてまとめてくれたことが極めて聞きやすくて解りやすい。おまけにサウンドボード録音がメインでもある。未だにこのツアーは本タイトルで満足できるのでは？というほどの名盤。
