New discover the golden 70 ‘s best album. A masterpiece that has jumped over 40 years time has appeared.
This work is a new master that maniacs all around the world are trembling right now. It is ultra superficial audience recording which vacuum packed the site of “Boston performance on August 6, 1977”.

【Overwhelming sound recording over the official】
Speaking of what is shocking, sound. Anyway it is amazing. There is nothing in the sense of distance etc. in the thick core, both the performance sound and the singing voice are extremely on. Detail is made oddly to the detail extraordinarily, modest cymbal work, base line and a little arming of the guitar are super vivid. Vocals are also caught beautifully up to one syllable rather than one word of lyrics. If you listen carefully with your headphones, you can feel realistic venue acoustics, but it is a beauty like the official work that bothers the effects by all means. While it is the official-quality sound and quality, it also fulfills the reality of one outrage unique to an audience.
Moreover, the official grade in this case is a contemporary sense comparable to the re-formation era rather than at the time of the 1970s. In fact, this tour is still an official work “LIVE IN CONCERT 1977 & 1979” is also left, but this work is overwhelmingly wonderful. Although I rarely rarely come across the soundboard and the audience recording exceeding the official, it is in the 70’s … ….
It was the prestigious “Krw_co” that accomplished the new excavation. The excavation this time is the 1st Gen reel master who was dubbed directly from the Omoto cassette. Its freshness is overwhelming, and the ringing is fresh anyway, the vibe of the guitar is delicate enough to float up to the waveform and the ocean of clapping is also beautiful up to 1 stroke. It is able to draw up even a three-dimensional feeling that ultra-fine sand grain spreads everywhere. Moreover, the sense of stability unique to 1st Gen is also excellent. No matter how much you praise it, there will be no dullness, and the beautiful sound will not shake all the time, and will not be disturbed and will penetrate the full story. It is exactly a wonderful and elegant name recording.
That original sound is more than enough to surprise all over the world, but this work has also been meticulously remasterred. Originally amazing, it is not supposed to be “a different thing” (it is still messed up), but adjusting the pitch so that you can taste the edge more like a sound board more clearly. We finished excavation of the century to the ultimate sound.

【Ultra precious “In The Midnight Hour”】
It is a name recording that transcends the age at all, but it is undoubtedly the golden 70’s engraved there. Five months after the release of “BURNIN ‘SKY”, the big song and the new song at that time are freshly performed on this day. As mentioned above, “BURNIN ‘SKY TOUR” is also “LIVE IN CONCERT 1977 & 1979”, but there are plenty of famous songs that can not be heard there too. “Run With The Pack” “Bad Company” “Can not Get Enough” can also be heard with the energy of the tour in 1977, and “Deal With The Preacher” and “In The Midnight Hour” that I could not listen even in conjunction with the take in 1979 You will also show off.
Especially valuable is “In The Midnight Hour”. Wilson · Pickett’s masterpiece cover, but the fact that I was doing this song is surprising. Not a BAD COMPANY, it is an extremely valuable song that FREE and Paul’s solo can not find a record of. Moreover, the rocking arrangement which is intensely dynamic is intense, and Paul’s singing voice is energetic, it is delicious deeply. I would like to be able to listen to such a treasure with a sound that goes beyond the official … …. It is one song only thankful to the recording man who recorded this day, also the prestige who excavated.

Even the official lives of the 70’s original Budokan with only a few records left. It is a miracle new excavation live album that you can experience with the transcendental sound of the official exceeding the site. I can not stop the boot leg because I can meet such a treasure. Audience recording can not be revealed. One piece of cultural heritage grade that you want to touch everyone who loves rock Britain. Please, please experience and appreciate.

黄金の70年代の極上ライヴアルバムが新発掘。40年の時間を飛び越えてきた大傑作が登場です。
本作は、今まさに世界中のマニアが震撼している新マスター。「1977年8月6日ボストン公演」の現場を真空パックした超極上オーディエンス録音です。

【オフィシャル超えの超絶録音】
何が衝撃かと言えば、サウンド。とにかく凄い。極太の芯には距離感などまるでなく、演奏音も歌声も極めてオン。ディテールも細部まで異様にクッキリとしており、ささやかなシンバルワークも、ベースのラインもギターのちょっとしたアーミングも超ビビッド。ヴォーカルも歌詞の1語どころか1音節に至るまで綺麗に捉えられている。ヘッドフォンで耳を澄ませば、リアルな会場音響も感じられますが、それさえもわざわざエフェクト装飾した公式作品のような美しさ。オフィシャル級のサウンド・クオリティでありながら、同時にオーディエンスならではの一発録りのリアリティにも充ち満ちている。
しかも、この場合のオフィシャル級とは70年代当時と言うよりは再結成時代にも匹敵するような現代感。実際、このツアーはオフィシャル作『LIVE IN CONCERT 1977 & 1979』も残されているわけですが、本作の方が圧倒的に素晴らしいのです。ごくごく希にサウンドボード超え、オフィシャル超えのオーディエンス録音というものに出くわしますが、それが70年代とは……。
それだけの新発掘を成し遂げたのは、かの名門「Krw_co」。今回発掘されたのは、大元カセットから直接ダビングされた1stジェネのリール・マスター。その鮮度は圧倒的で、とにかく鳴りが瑞々しく、ギターのヴァイヴは波形まで浮かぶほどに繊細で拍手の海も1打1打まで美しい。超細かい砂粒がどこまでも広がる立体感まで描ききっているのです。しかも、1stジェネならではの安定感も絶品。いくら讃えてもキリがない美音が終始揺るがず、乱れず、全編を貫く。まさしく驚異と気品の名録音なのです。
その原音は世界中を驚かせるに十二分なものですが、本作はさらに細心リマスターも実施。元々が驚異的なために「まるで別物」とはなっていません(したら台無しです)が、ピッチを整えた上でサウンドボード的なエッジをさらにクッキリと味わえるように調整。世紀の大発掘を究極サウンドに仕上げました。

【超貴重な「In The Midnight Hour」】
まったくもって時代を超越した名録音なのですが、そこに刻まれているのは紛れもなく黄金の70年代。この日は『BURNIN’ SKY』リリースから5ヶ月後にあたり、大代表曲と当時の新曲がフレッシュに演奏される。前述のように“BURNIN’ SKY TOUR”は『LIVE IN CONCERT 1977 & 1979』にもなっているわけですが、そこでも聴けない名曲がたっぷり。「Run With The Pack」「Bad Company」「Can’t Get Enough」も1977年ツアーのエネルギーで聴けますし、1979年テイクと併せても聴けなかった「Deal With The Preacher」「In The Midnight Hour」も披露してくれる。
特に貴重なのは「In The Midnight Hour」。ウィルソン・ピケットの名曲カバーですが、この曲をやっていた事実自体が驚き。BAD COMPANYはおろか、FREEやポールのソロでも記録の見当たらない超貴重な1曲なのです。しかも、激しく躍動するロックなアレンジが強烈でポールの歌声は滋味深くもえらくエネルギッシュ。こんな秘宝をオフィシャル超えのサウンドで聴くことができようとは……。この日を録音してくれた録音家にも、発掘してくれた名門にも感謝しかない1曲です。

オフィシャルでさえわずかな記録しか残っていない70年代のオリジナル・バドカンのライヴ。その現場を公式超えの超絶サウンドで体験できる奇跡の新発掘ライヴアルバムです。こんな秘宝に出逢えるからブートレッグは止められない。オーディエンス録音は侮れない。英国ロックを愛するすべての方に触れていただきたい文化遺産級の1枚。どうぞ、刮目してご体験ください。
