Popular items released 3 years ago in the 50th anniversary of Abbey Road’s release are released on the press board!
At the time of release, noise reduction processing was performed only on the conspicuous parts of magnetic transfer, which was a weak point of Safety Master Reel. All the defects caused by the pain of the tape due to aging have been repaired, and the overwhelming power and transparency of the sound have been reproduced without any noise reduction or equalizing in the music. Furthermore, the first edition UK cassette of another mix, which was also very popular, was digitized. Enjoy the moving analog sound source Abbey Road with these two sources!
(Disc 1 Safety Master Reel)
From the backup tape made from the Abbey Road master tape sent to Japan from the home country Abbey Road Studios in January 1978, the person concerned borrowed and reprinted the copy to DAT in 1991. From this master tape sent to Japan in 1978, the Abbey Road Pro Youth series with high sound quality and prestige was cut, and it was released in 1984 and was collected and discontinued as the Beatles world’s first CD master. It has become.
This Safety Master has been digitized to a very small number several times, but noise reduction has been applied too much, digital noise is included in the first half of the song, and there is a gap when making a CD. There was a drawback. The reprint of it without any EQ in 2019 was well received, and it triggered the release of various Abbey Road tape sound sources. This time, using the above-mentioned DAT again, only the magnetic transfer part and the defective part are carefully repaired and remastered, so there is hiss noise and tape noise, but the power of the sound is still tremendous, and the compression essential for LP production is applied. The beginning of Her Majesty is surprisingly loud because it is not. Please spend a moment of excitement.

The UK-made super valuable 1st issue cassette tape released in 1969 is also on CD. This was unexpectedly terrible, and we received a lot of positive feedback when we released it in 2019. The roaring pole bass, John’s fierce vocals, George’s guitar reverberation, and apple cymbals stand out! And the splendor of the chorus that emerges. It’s different from Abbey Road, which I’ve heard before. There is no noise reduction here either! Hiss noise is a concern only at the beginning, but if you notice it, you will hardly notice it because of the vividness and power of the instruments and vocals. In addition to the different song order, the left and right channels are also recorded cassette mixes, which is really wonderful. Due to the high price of cassette decks in Europe at that time (several times the open reel) and the low penetration rate, there are extremely few existing individuals, and conversely, cassette production was already rising in the United States and Australia. Since there are few individuals in the UK cassette, research has not been done yet. I hope that this work will lead to the promotion of future research. In addition, a bonus track was prepared as a B-side medley from digital data that the late Jeff Emmerich was remastering for release as a dynamic sound CD (discontinued) from MFSL in 1989. A British 8-track cassette sound source (some songs, also a warm analog sound source), and probably Mary Jane’s 45-turn 7-inch acetate Mix (which is really disappointing for about 0.1 seconds of needle skipping at the beginning of the song).
Compared to the 50th anniversary edition, this is an item that I want you to experience that this is an analog sound.
SUPERB ANALOG SOUND !! AMEZING QUALITY !!

(Disc 2 UK Cassette Mix and More) 1969年にリリースされたUK製の超貴重な1stイシューのカセットテープもCD化。これが予想に反して無茶苦茶凄く、2019年にリリースした際にポジティブなフィードバックを多数いただきました。唸るポールのベース、ジョンの激しいボーカル、ジョージのギターの残響、そしてリンゴのシンバルが目立つ目立つ!そして浮き出るコーラスの素晴らしさ。もう今まで聴いたことのあるアビーロードとは別物です。こちらも一切のノイズリダクションなし!ヒスノイズが最初だけ気になりますが、気が付けば楽器、ボーカルの生々しさと迫力でほとんど気にならなくなります。さらに曲順も違う上に、左右のチャネルも逆に収録のカセットミックスとにかく本気で素晴らしい内容です。当時のヨーロッパでのカセットデッキの高価格(オープンリールの数倍)と低普及率ということもあり現存する個体が極めて少ないこと、逆にアメリカやオーストラリアではすでにカセットの生産がうなぎ上りであったことからUKカセットについては個体が少なく、未だしっかりと研究がなされておりません。是非とも本作品が今後の研究促進につながることも期待しております。さらにボーナストラックとしてご用意したのは、故ジェフ・エメリックが1989年にMFSL社からのダイナミックサウンドCD(発売中止)としてリリース用にリマスター作業をしていたデジタルデータからのB面メドレー、1969年イギリスの8トラックカセット音源(一部楽曲、これまた温かみのあるアナログ音源)、さらにおそらく初公開のMary Janeの45回転7インチアセテートMix(曲出だしの0.1秒ほどの針飛びが本当に残念)。
50周年盤と比較して、これがアナログサウンドだということを体感して欲しい気合のアイテムであります。 SUPERB ANALOG SOUND!! AMEZING QUALITY!! A5サイズのパンフレット仕様で今回もお届けです。
