From New York is a classic sound of Springsteen in 1975, the radio broadcast of the bottom line at the longest and best sound quality. Since this performance is released by the analog-bootleg, but have been released in a variety of ways, not the GODFATHER which was based on the monaural sound source that circulated a few years ago, “THE PUNK MEETS THE GODFATHER” is said to be definitive edition you. But also use the same sound source with it this time, not only to adjust the subtly slow pitch, without further subjected to equalize such as sticks into the ear was a fatal drawback of the GODFATHER, a free from its unnaturalness It has been recorded in the original natural texture as it has become a remarkably easy-to-hear state. This sound is a sound that was floating around in mono in order to especially noise at the time of reception enters crackling in the first half of the broadcast, the noise or would not it make me feel the vintage atmosphere of the time of the radio broadcast. And so we have to adjust more subtle pitch of as long as the deviation that can also be in the middle of “Rosalita”, in all respects would say definitive edition to surpass the previous item. This sound is recorded from the play-by-play announcement in front of the radio stations that show begins, captured without further also recorded not leak an inch until the announcement and after the end of the announcement between songs, exhaustive enthusiasm of this broadcast in the United States is focused It was has become a version. In fact, too much of the excitement in the announcement after the show was over, is about announcer is the name of the blues and the E · Street band by mistake called “E · Steen”, has been plunged into Springsteen. And like the best performance engine fully open until the end from the warm sound quality and the beginning of the analog recording, a new title that was recorded this day was a historic night in the blues career in top condition is all rock fans must listen .

★ is a review summary of beatleg magazine vol.118 (No. 5 May 2010). In case you’re wondering.

The bottom line of August which is the most important source of “defunct runaway tomorrow” tour since July of 1975 has not been around for only a sound source to enter the time of the air check noise. It Jimai been released from the major labels, such as the Crystal Cat while line sources, thanks. In sound source 2005 to fan-boot of “THE WAY IT WAS” that circulated among fans to be the status quo best under such circumstances, of GODFATHER that made it to the original in the “PUNK MEETS THE GODFATHER”, it is the best boot It has been considered. However, it had a major drawback remains the pitch is slow to griping the equalizing of the initial GODFATHER. But items you have resolved them was me finally appeared. This is also the original is so “THE WAY ~”, but he has recorded all of the broadcast, recorded a full-length at the correct pitch, also to recorded in natural sound quality, of course, was hard to listen fairly to the time of appreciation “Rosalita” I’m really happy that is willing to correct until the deviation of the pitch in the middle of playing in. And received noise that remarkable crackling in the first half of the show are also reduced in as much as possible, but finally felt the decision version of this best of show appeared. Still Hammersmith official, of course, undeniable rough monaural sound quality of When compared to a 75-year another radio sound source Roxy. But the splendor of some outweigh it playing. Korezo ultimate great performance is heard to say that overnight legendary. As long as that is not even on the other re-broadcast, I would not go out any more of those. If blues fan, show of the day should listen to the absolute, release in the course of a press disk.

スプリングスティーン1975年の定番音源であるニューヨーク、ボトム・ラインのラジオ放送を最長かつ最高の音質で収録。この公演はアナログ・ブートレグでリリースされて以来、さまざまな形でリリースされてきましたが、数年前に出回ったモノラル音源を元にしたGODFATHERの「THE PUNK MEETS THE GODFATHER」が決定版といわれています。今回もそれと同じ音源を使用していますが、微妙に遅いピッチをアジャストしただけでなく、さらにGODFATHERの致命的な欠点だった耳に刺さるようなイコライズを施すことなく、その不自然さとは無縁な元のナチュラルな質感そのままで収録して格段に聴きやすい状態となっています。この音源は特に放送の前半部分でパチパチという受信時のノイズが入る為にモノラルで出回った音源ですが、そのノイズも当時のラジオ放送のビンテージな雰囲気を感じさせてくれるのではないでしょうか。しかも「Rosalita」の中間におけるさらに微妙なピッチの狂いも可能な限りアジャストしておりますので、すべての点で過去のアイテムを凌駕する決定版といえるでしょう。この音源はショウが始まる前のラジオ局の実況アナウンスから収録し、さらに曲間でのアナウンスや終了後のアナウンスまでも寸分もらさず収録し、アメリカ中が注目したこの放送の熱狂を余すことなく捉えたバージョンとなっています。実際、ショウが終わった後のアナウンスでは興奮のあまり、アナウンサーがブルースとE・ストリートバンドの名前を「E・スティーン」と呼び間違えて、スプリングスティーンに突っ込まれているくらいです。そしてアナログ録音の温かみのある音質や始まりから終わりまでエンジン全開な最高の演奏など、ブルースのキャリアで歴史的な一夜となったこの日を最高の状態で収録した新たなタイトルは全ロックファン必聴です。

★beatleg誌　vol.118（2010年5月号）のレビュー要約です。ご参考まで。

1975年の7月以降の『明日なき暴走』ツアーの最重要音源である8月のボトム・ラインは当時のエアチェック・ノイズが入る音源しか出回っていない。おかげでライン音源ながらクリスタル・キャットのような大手レーベルからリリースされじまいだ。そんな中で現状ベストとされる音源は2005年にファンの間で出回った『THE WAY IT WAS』というファン・ブートで、それを元にしたGODFATHERの『PUNK MEETS THE GODFATHER』で、それがベストブートとされてきた。ただしそれは初期GODFATHERのキリキリしたイコライジングにピッチが遅いままという大きな欠点があった。しかしそれらを解消したアイテムがようやく登場してくれた。これも元は『THE WAY～』なので、放送をすべて収録しているのだが、全編を正確なピッチで収録し、またナチュラルな音質で収録するのはもちろん、鑑賞時にかなり聴き辛かった「Rosalita」における演奏の途中でのピッチの狂いまで補正してくれているのが本当に嬉しい。そしてショウの前半に顕著なパチパチという受信ノイズも可能な限りで減少させており、遂にこの最高のショウの決定版が登場した感じだ。それでもオフィシャルのハマースミスはもちろん、75年もう一つのラジオ音源であるロキシーに比べたら粗いモノラル音質なのは否めない。しかしそれを補って余りある演奏の素晴らしさ。これぞ伝説の一夜というべき究極の名演が聴かれる。もう再放送でもされない限りは、これ以上のものは出ないだろう。ブルースのファンならば、この日のショウは絶対に聴くべきで、当然プレスのディスクでのリリース。
