Beetle releases from the Remasters Workshop that were readily available online just a few months ago. However, the bootlegzone site that uploaded it went down, and the stable supply for many years turned around and it became difficult to obtain it. Volunteers have started uploading files on other sites little by little, but the release of Remasters Workshop is huge. It is still far from the conventional stable supply.
Among the various titles, the true value of Remasters Workshop was that they carefully filed a number of nostalgic analog boots. Needless to say, analog boots often have problems with the board quality, and when played back on a regular basis, they often get crackled and noisy. The greatness of Remasters Workshop, which removed it really well and made it easy to listen to, is reminded because it became such a situation, and a group of releases that seemed to anticipate the current analog rehabilitation is available. What has become difficult is really toothy.
About 2 titles of the Beatles’ big sound source will be released this week, but there is also a free gift item that Remasters Workshop carefully filed the ancient Beatles boot.

The appearance of LP “BROAD CASTS” was shocking among the items that recorded the many BBC radio appearances of The Beatles. In the BBC, which had only recorded items from the sound source recorded from the radio speakers in the 1960s, it was recorded with a clearer sound quality than before, 1980. When it was released, it surprised enthusiasts all over the world. Furthermore, the goodness of the jacket is one of the reasons why it became popular.
Two years later, the BBC sound source was broadcast all over the world as the unprecedented volume “BEATELS AT THE BEEB” in the momentum to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Beatles’ debut. Naturally, items based on this will be created. The label that released “BROAD CASTS” released “BEATLES BBC” from this broadcast. This was also well received because of its excellent sound quality and jacket design.
Remasters Workshop is a 2-in-1 coupling of these two masterpiece LPs produced in the early 80’s. Nowadays, the takes recorded in these are released in the form of digitally remastered from the master tape in two types of official “LIVE AT THE BBC”, but these two sheets are clear but rich in analog feeling. I think there are many enthusiasts who prefer sound quality.
The point is that you can easily listen to these two CD-Rs, which everyone would have heard as if they were worn out. And although the LP boot in the early 80’s improved the board quality dramatically, scratch noise is still inevitable. Remasters Workshop shows its true character. It created a file in a clean state with no scratch noise.
Furthermore, the Elai part of the Remasters Workshop is that the songs that are doubled in the two pieces are not excluded, and they are recorded according to the original LP. Even so, the sound quality is different, so you can enjoy the feel with the same feeling as “Mato difference”. It would be fun to compare the sound quality of double songs such as “Soldier Of Love” and “I’ll Follow The Sun”. A vintage and analog feel that is a bit different from “LIVE AT THE BBC”. Even so, the recordings have different years of broadcasting, and each has a deep analog feel. And above all, it is the best to easily enjoy the nostalgic masterpiece!

つい数か月前までネット上で簡単に入手できたRemasters Workshopのビートル・リリース群。ところが、それをアップロードしてくれていたbootlegzoneサイトが落ちてしまい、長年の安定供給が一転して入手困難へと陥ってしまいました。他のサイトなどで少しずつ有志がファイルを上げ始めてくれたはいるものの、Remasters Workshopのリリースは膨大。従来のような安定供給にはまだ遠く及ばないのです。
多岐にわたるタイトルの中でもRemasters Workshopの真骨頂と言えば、懐かしのアナログブートの数々を丁寧にファイル化してくれていたこと。言うまでもありませんが、アナログブートは盤質に問題のあることが多く、フツーに再生するとバチバチとノイズが入ってしまうことが多い。それを実にうまく除去し、手軽に聞けるようにしてくれていたRemasters Workshopの偉大さが、そんな状況になってしまったからこそ思い知らされますし、現在のアナログ復権を見越していたかのようなリリース群が入手困難となってしまったのは本当に歯がゆい。
今週はビートルズの大物音源が2タイトルほどリリースされますが、そこで無料ギフトにもRemasters Workshopがいにしえのビートル・ブートを丁寧にファイル化してくれたアイテムを。

ビートルズの数多いBBCラジオ出演を収録したアイテムの中でもLP「BROADCASTS」の登場は衝撃的でした。それまで1960年代当時にラジオのスピーカーから録音していた音源からレコード化されたアイテムばかりが出されていたBBCものにおいて、それまでとは比べ物にならないほどクリアーな音質で収録しており、1980年のリリース時には世界中のマニアを驚愕させました。さらにジャケットの良さも人気を博した一因かと。
それから二年後、ビートルズのデビュー20周年を記念する機運の中でBBC音源がそれまでにないボリューム「BEATELS AT THE BEEB」として世界中で放送。当然これを元にしたアイテムが生み出されることになります。「BROADCASTS」をリリースしたレーベルはこの放送から「BEATLES BBC」をリリース。こちらも音質やジャケットのデザインが優れていたことから好評を博しました。
Remasters Workshopはこれら二枚の80年代前半に生み出された名盤LPを2イン1でカップリング。今でこそ、これらに収録されたテイクは二種類のオフィシャル「LIVE AT THE BBC」でマスターテープからデジタル・リマスターされた形でリリースされていますが、これら二枚のクリアーだがアナログ感に富んだ音質の方がしっくり来るマニアが少なくないのでは?
誰もが擦り切れんばかりに聞いたであろう、これら二枚を手軽にCD-Rで聞けてしまうというのがポイント高い。それに80年代初頭のLPブートは盤質が飛躍的に向上したものの、それでもスクラッチノイズは免れない。そこをRemasters Workshopは本領発揮。見事にスクラッチノイズのないクリーンな状態でファイル化してくれました。
さらにRemasters Workshopのエライところは、二枚の中でダブる曲を排除せず、あくまでオリジナルのLP通りに収録していること。それでいて音質が違うので、言うなれば「マト違い」と同じような感覚で感触を楽しめるという。「Soldier Of Love」に「I’ll Follow The Sun」といったダブる曲の音質を比べてみるのも一興でしょう。「LIVE AT THE BBC」とは一味違うビンテージ&アナログ感。それでいて放送年数の違う収録な上、それぞれアナログ感が味わい深い音質です。そして何より懐かしの名盤を手軽に楽しめるのが最高!
