1981 of the CD-R was recorded sound source of European tour “ZURICH 1981 3 Recorder Mix” will come with the initial release worth of vision of the album “THE TIES THAT BIND”. After you have completed to meet twists and turns “THE RIVER” release, Springsteen and the E · Street Band will dared first massive European tour. Although the Zurich performances of the first half of the game with the April 11 also true is what are some of the audience recording from analog era had been recorded music media of, the “HALLENSTADION ’81”, which has been the most sound quality better have been released on CD base and then, two of the “HALLENSTADION ZURICH” incomplete and become have parts in terms of fit to the disk, it is what it is tailored to complete is supplemented with two of the LP titled “LIVE IN ZURICH”.
Hear Speaking of complete is is good, but anything miscellaneous in (laughs) a sense of edited fan it, not at all seamless. Simply I was fit to cut the sound source … level of finish. Therefore, the sound quality between songs to machine would change the rattle is natural, on the contrary because sound source even in the midst of playing in such as “Fire” and “Rosalita” is thus switched to miscellaneous, the rough edit feeling about rare these days, it is and it is not forced to grin and involuntarily listening.
Fortunately, that fan edit of this degree was limit is maintained is not (laughs) three kinds of sound source each natural sound quality adding a hand to sound quality’s the charm of this title. Just good old analog tic sound. Most on a sound image in them’s the “HALLENSTADION ’81”, but since also other sources as the level of this era is adequate to excellent, 1981 European that has become painful to come by recently tour is not bad as affordable enjoy items. And is the ease attractive to listen in two discs in complete!

The sources worked with were:

幻のアルバム「THE TIES THAT BIND」の初回リリース分には1981年のヨーロッパ・ツアーの音源を収録したCD-R「ZURICH 1981 3 Recorder Mix」が付属します。紆余曲折あって完成した「THE RIVER」リリース後、スプリングスティーンとE・ストリート・バンドは初の大々的なヨーロッパ・ツアーを敢行します。その前半戦とも言える4月11日のチューリッヒ公演はアナログ時代からいくつかのオーディエンス録音が音盤化されていたものですが、CDでリリースされていてもっとも音質的に優れていた「HALLENSTADION ’81」をベースとし、二枚のディスクに収める上で不完全となっていた部分を「HALLENSTADION ZURICH」、「LIVE IN ZURICH」という二枚のLPタイトルで補ってコンプリートに仕立てたものです。
コンプリートと言えば聞こえが良いのですが、それを編集したファンのセンスが何とも雑で(苦笑)、まったくシームレスではありません。単に音源を切り取って合わせた…レベルの仕上がりなのです。よって曲間を機に音質がガラリと変わってしまうのは当たり前、それどころか「Fire」や「Rosalita」などでは演奏の最中でも音源が雑に切り替わってしまうので、今時珍しいほどラフなエディット感には、聴いていると思わず苦笑いせざるを得ません。
しかし幸いなことに、この程度の編集が限界だったファンが音質まで手を加えることはなく(笑)三種類の音源それぞれのナチュラルな音質が保たれている点がこのタイトルの魅力なのです。まさに懐かしいアナログチックな音。それらの中で一番オンな音像は「HALLENSTADION ’81」なのですが、他の音源もこの時代のレベルとしては十分に優秀なものですので、最近手に入り辛くなってしまった1981年ヨーロッパ・ツアーが手頃に楽しめるアイテムとしては悪くありません。それにコンプリートでも二枚のディスクで聴ける手軽さも魅力です!
