In the 2010s (Thinking of Paul’s third visit) coming to Japan on a moment’s notice, our shop will release the first appearance audiences recording of Ultra-class 1993 visit to Japan. Ever since the beginning of “THE NEW WORLD TOUR IN TOKYO DOME”, “2ND NIGHT IN TOKYO DOME 1993”, and so on, a number of items from our own sound source have been produced. In the first place in 1993, the performance of the arrival in Japan arrived in the 2010 age, and the reevaluation has been eeling up, and with the album “OFF THE GROUND”, it became popular with maniacs more than at that time in 1993.
In response to such a trend, our shopping event released all the items for the 1993 visit to Japan as Sold Out. “TOKYO 1993 SECOND NIGHT” which became the third release from our stage on the second day of Tokyo Dome among others was an upper version that I recorded from the master of the oldest “C’MON PEOPLE 1993” It was a famous board that included facts (laughs) that were not pointed out in specialty magazines, but this was also a long time since becoming Sold Out.
From this situation, I think whether you can understand how the 93 tour concerts have been reevaluated. However, this time, we uncovered the completely unpublished audiences recording on the first day and the second day of Tokyo Dome in 1993. To the extent that it is as superior as this, and the sound source which contained the live of recent years has never been circulated among traders at all, surprises can not be forbidden.
As for how high the sound quality is, the quality which goes beyond the sound source of “TOKYO 1993 SECOND NIGHT” or “C’MON PEOPLE 1993” lightly is over. Audience recording recorded in these titles is also an excellent recording boasting a tremendous on balance as a sound source that captured the live of Tokyo Dome in 1993. However, while the performance was captured to a large extent, there was a weak point that Paul’s voice was driven to the back and it was a balanced balance. Both the sound source of this time and the sound source of this time the balance of Paul’s voice is great and it is wonderful!
Among them, regarding the second day, if you compare it with the past titles listed earlier, the difference is clear. Besides, the balance with excitement of the surroundings is also good, and I can show out the sound source of those titles with plenty of room in terms of being able to taste the presence feeling without disgust. To say it to anything it’s excellent clearance for the two days of audience recording this time. This can also be said to be a deciding factor which makes a difference with past sound sources and items. Because we taste a little stereo feeling on either day, here is a place I would like you to taste plenty of clearance enough to be rich in the presence and enchantment by headphones by all means.

Regarding the second day, there is a place where the sound is muffled in the middle of “Hope Of Deliverance”, but the sound quality of enchantment that you can listen carefully even if you subtract it. In 1993, the performance to Japan came back to the simpler and more straight-forward rock sound as the synth-sized sound like the one in 1990 was retreated and even the drummer changed. It seems like the change of this sound was not appreciated at that time or it was a part that we could not appeal to fans so much.
This point has also been reevaluated firmly in recent years, and it is also a point of reevaluation that the number from “OFF THE GROUND” which is no longer played live is plentifully featured. Although it was a Paul band of the time when he was performing a preeminent performance from 1989, Wicks played the interlude of “Penny Lane” on the first day, and on that day Paul was “C’mon People “to remove the sound of the piano, the fun scene unique to live is also caught in the highest sound quality.
Regarding the first day, a name board and name recording called “BIG EGG 1993 NOVEMBER 12” was released at the time in 1993, but it is a sound image which is a twin in comparison with it, and hear it with regards to its power If it is said that it is lightly surpassing the sound source that it was, you should be able to imagine the new audience recording that we found excavated, a different quality. No, this is amazing.
And “My Love” which has been disappearing from the live repertoire for a long time, and “Now, There, And Everywhere” which now became to be played with lowering the key than the 90-year-old arrival date by Paul The point which is dignifiedly sung is very attractive. At that time Paul also felt that it stepped into the mature range, but it is truly young if you listen to it about twenty-five years ago, now it is! From such a performance of Paul ‘s 1993 visit to Japan, a superb sound source that can be called a new standard without complaint is now appearing in press CD limited to here. No complaints of performance and sound quality!

2010年代における（2014年を抜かした）三回目のポール来日が刻々と迫る中、当店がウルトラ級の1993年来日公演初登場オーディエンス録音をリリースいたします。これまでも「THE NEW WORLD TOUR IN TOKYO DOME」、「2ND NIGHT IN TOKYO DOME 1993」などを皮切りとして、当店からは独自音源によるアイテムがいくつも生み出されてきたものです。そもそも1993年の来日公演は2010年代を迎えてからの再評価がうなぎ上りであり、アルバム「OFF THE GROUND」と共にマニアの間で93年当時以上の人気を得るようになってきました。
そうした風潮を受けて当店がリリースした93年来日公演アイテムもすべてSold Outとなっています。中でも東京ドーム二日目のステージの当店から三度目のリリースとなった「TOKYO 1993 SECOND NIGHT」はいにしえの名盤「C’MON PEOPLE 1993」のマスターから収録してみせたアッパー版だったという、専門誌でも指摘されなかった事実（笑）も含んだ名盤であったのですが、これまたSold Outとなって久しいもの。
この状況からも、いかに93年来日公演が再評価されてきたのかを理解してもらえるかと思います。ところが今回は93年東京ドームの初日と二日目の完全未発表オーディエンス録音を発掘。これほど極上な状態で、なおかつ近年のライブを収めた音源が今までトレーダー間にも一切出回っていなかったことには、驚きを禁じ得ません。
どれほど高音質であるかと言うと、先の「TOKYO 1993 SECOND NIGHT」あるいは「C’MON PEOPLE 1993」の音源をも軽く超えるほどのクオリティ。これらのタイトルに収録されたオーディエンス録音も1993年の東京ドームのライブを捉えた音源としては驚異的にオンなバランスを誇る秀逸な録音。ただし、それらは演奏が大きめに捉えられていた一方で、ポールの声が奥に追いやられ気味なバランスというウィーク・ポイントがありました。今回の音源は両日の音源ともにポールの声のバランスが大きくて素晴らしい！
中でも二日目に関しては、先に挙げた過去のタイトルと聞き比べてもらえれば、その差は歴然としています。おまけに周囲の盛り上がりとのバランスも良く、嫌味の無い臨場感が味わえるという点に関してもそれらのタイトルの音源を余裕で凌いでみせます。それに何と言っても今回の二日間のオーディエンス録音はクリアネスが抜群。これもまた、過去の音源やアイテムとの差をつける決定的な要因と言えるでしょう。どちらの日もちょっとしたステレオ感まで味わるのだから、ここは是非ともヘッドフォンにて豊かな臨場感やうっとりさせられるほどのクリアネスをたっぷりと味わってみてほしいところ。

二日目に関しては「Hope Of Deliverance」の途中で音がこもる箇所があるのですが、それを差し引いてもじっくりと聴き込める魅惑の音質。93年の来日公演は90年の時のようなシンセサイズされたサウンドが後退し、さらにはドラマーまでも交代したことで、よりシンプルでストレートなロック・サウンドへと回帰した時期。このサウンドの変化は当時あまり評価されなかったというか、あまりファンにアピールできなかった部分であったように思えてなりません。
この点に関しても近年になってしっかり再評価されており、今ではライブで演奏されることがなくなった「OFF THE GROUND」からのナンバーがたっぷりとフィーチャーされているという点もまた再評価のポイント。1989年から安定感抜群の演奏を身上としていた当時のポール・バンドですが、その割に初日ではウィックスが「Penny Lane」の間奏を弾き違えてしまったり、二日目ではポールが「C’mon People」でピアノの音を外してしまったりと、ライブならではの楽しい場面も極上音質にてキャッチされています。
初日に関しては紙ジャケの「BIG EGG 1993 NOVEMBER 12」という名盤かつ名録音が1993年当時にリリースされていましたが、それと比べてみても双璧を成すオンな音像であり、迫力に関してはそこで聞かれた音源をも軽く上回るものだと表現すれば、今回当店が発掘してみせた新たなるオーディエンス録音、別格のクオリティを想像してもらえるはず。いやはや、これは凄い。
そしてライブのレパートリーから姿を消して久しい「My Love」や、今やキーを下げて演奏されるようになった「Here, There, And Everywhere」といったナンバーが90年の来日時よりも絶好調なポールによって堂々と歌い上げられている点が実に魅力的。当時はポールも円熟の域に踏み入れたものだと感じたものですが、さすがに25年近く前のこと、今になって聴いてみれば、まだまだ若い！そんなポールの93年来日公演から、文句なしに新たなるスタンダードと呼べる極上音源が今、ここに限定のプレスCDにて登場です。演奏も音質も文句なし！

PAUL McCARTNEY – SOUNDCHECK & LIVE IN TOKYO DOME(Bonus DVDR)
Soundcheck & Live at Tokyo Dome 14th & 15th November 1993 PRO-SHOT

Click Image To Enlarge

1993 “THE NEW WORLD TOUR” From Tokyo performance, one of the must-have fans who recorded the sound check · live performed at Tokyo Dome on November 14th and 15th and the main live of 15th in high-quality pro shot Appears. This famous broadcast take was broadcasted in the form of sound check and digest of actual performances, commercial broadcasting, charged satellite broadcasting, and high-vision test broadcasting were broadcast with slightly different contents, but this main part The contents are almost the same.
On this December, as a part of “The Beatles 17 Hour Special” on December 25, 1993, the version entitled “Paul McCutney Special” was broadcasted on a pay satellite broadcast at that time Recording from the video master, the top title, MC close to 10 minutes, even including the outro part centered on the MC for 4 minutes, is recording non-cut. The image quality is recorded with high quality which is comparable to the DVD “Always Cm” which receives the highest image quality and high evaluation of the past, as if it is like a long version, many books like Mania It will surprise you. As you know the contents are 50 minutes in the first half, the 14th and 15th sound check live showed only in front of a limited number of audiences who got a special ticket expensive, in front of the garan seats , High-quality performance as the actual stage on the stage of the big hall is spectacular, it is a perfect score in response to hearing. In addition to the fans who got the above-mentioned expensive tickets to the audience seats, was it a rockabilly style dancer that the office side arranged as an extra, or was it wanting an image of innocent children as a director, at first sight, a school trip There are a group of students in the wind, students with a naive feeling are still in the passages of the audience seats without anyone, a group of figures crazy dancing in the rockabilly style fashion is an extraordinary mismatch regardless of what you think Thanks to unnecessary directing and editing, in part, people who are watching can not concentrate on Paul ‘s historical name performance, partly, fall into a slightly frustrating situation. However, aside from directing the television station, Paul’s performance at this time is wonderful, and the performance at the acoustic band where I could listen even with the main part of the live is the best word. Despite being a rehearsal, The Long And Winding Road on the 14th is one of the highlights, one of the best known and highly valued. From the stage on the last 15 days in Tokyo, the second half contains 8 songs for about 30 minutes. The editing that leads to the main part live from the rehear of Let Me Roll It the day before is wonderful. Not only the splendor of the live but also the built-in image is splendid, you can enjoy Paul’s Tokyo performance in just 20 years ago with really high-quality images. Historically, as for the very important video, as far as there is nothing to compare, the main board which made the whole of the television broadcast itself into a disc is undoubtedly necessary for all fans. It is not too much to say that the place where I could produce such a program and it was able to air it (even though it was the beginning of the period of the collapse of the bubble) symbolizes the strength of Japan in this era, a really high quality planning program is. If possible, it is a decision board that I want to convey this to press life as it is, as a permanent preservation version, to convey to posterity. Together with the main 4 live set, please enjoy.
1993年「THW NEW WORLD TOUR」東京公演より、11月14日と15日に東京ドームで行われたサウンドチェック・ライヴと15日の本編ライヴを、高画質プロショットで収録したファン必携の一枚が登場です。この有名な放送テイクは、サウンド・チェックと実際の公演のダイジェストと言う形で放送されており、民放、有料衛星放送、そしてハイビジョン試験放送で、それぞれ微妙に違う内容で放送されましたが、本編の内容はほぼ同じものです。
本盤は、その中から1993年12月25日に「ザ・ビートルズ 17時間スペシャル」の一環として、「ポール・マッカトニー・スペシャル」と題して、有料衛星放送にてオンエアされたヴァージョンを、当時の録画ビデオ・マスターより、冒頭のタイトル、10分近いMC、更には4分のMCを中心としたアウトロ部分を含め、ノンカット収録しています。画質は、過去最高画質と高い評価を受けるDVD「Always Cm」と比較しても遜色ない程の、高いクオリティで収録されており、まるでそのロングヴァージョンのような造りの本盤は、多くのマニアを驚かせることでしょう。内容はご存知の通り前半の50分が、高額な特別チケットを入手した、限られた少数観客の前でのみ披露された14日と15日のサウンドチェックライヴで、ガランとした客席を前にした、大会場のステージでの本番さながらの高品質なパフォーマンスは見応え・聞き応え満点です。客席には前述の高額なチケットを入手して参加したファンに加え、エキストラとして局側が手配した、ロカビリー風のダンサー、更には演出として、無垢な子供たちのイメージが欲しかったのか、一見、修学旅行風の学生さん一群がおり、素朴な感じの学生さんたちはまだしも、誰もいない客席の通路で、ロカビリー風ファッションで踊り狂う一群の姿は、どう考えても異様なほどにミスマッチであり、この不要な演出と編集のお陰で、一部、観てる者はポールらの歴史的名演奏に集中できないという、一部、若干もどかしい状況に陥ってしまいます。しかしながらテレビ局の演出はさておいて、ポールのこの時の演奏は素晴らしく、ライヴの本編でも聴くことのできたアコースティック・バンドでのパフォーマンスは最高の一言です。リハライヴでありながら、屈指の名演と評価の高い、14日のThe Long And Winding Roadは見所の一つです。後半は東京最終15日のステージより、8曲を約30分収録。Let Me Roll Itの前日のリハから本編ライヴに繋ぐ編集はお見事。ライヴの素晴らしさは勿論、映像の造り込みも見事なもので、ちょうど20年前のポールの東京公演を、実に高品質な映像で堪能することができます。歴史的にも、例えようが無い程に、非常に重要な映像ゆえ、テレビ放送そのものを丸ごとディスク化した本盤は、間違いなく全てのファン必携。こういう番組を制作し、オンエアできた所が、（バブル崩壊時期初頭とはいえ、）この時代の日本の強さを象徴していると言っても過言ではない程の、実に高品質な企画番組です。できれば、これをこのままプレスDVD化して、永久保存版として、後世に伝えたいと思うほどの決定盤。本編ライヴ4枚組と合わせて、どうぞ、お楽しみ下さい。
