The 1965 Paris performance was recorded twice on the stage on June 20, and has long been famous as a Beatles live sound source that is fulfilling both on the performance side and the selection surface. Thanks to that, we have produced many items, but those releases have some problems in each time, and PURPLE CHICK is waiting for enthusiasts all over the world by making full use of multiple titles that have been on the market so far. A masterpiece that has been compiled into the best version that was available.
In addition, PURPLE CHICK received high praise from enthusiasts for its outstanding equalization that eliminated as much as possible the difference in sound quality that naturally occurs due to the use of multiple sound sources, as well as the editing sense that puts together the sound sources. is. I think it was the Paris performance part of this title that demonstrated that wonderful skill most in the “LIVE” series.

The first show of the Roman performance, which was included in the second piece, was released on LP as an audience recording, which was rare at that time, and was a sound source that attracted a lot of attention among enthusiasts. Since the excitement is not as extreme as in the Netherlands and the United States, it is a recording state that is surprisingly easy to hear, and in fact it is also the audience recording with the best sound quality among the Beatles audience recording.
The second show of the day had a different sound board recording, which is said to have been recorded by a journalist connecting a tape recorder to the mixing board, and the sound quality is also excellent. However, it is unfortunate that only the part from the start of the live to the first half of “I’m A Loser” has been excavated.

And the rest of the second disc is two live performances on TV that appeared before the start of the US tour in August. The Ed Sullivan Show seems to be self-explanatory, but the Blackpool Night Out is the best that covers not only the performance part but also the MC at the beginning of the program picked up from the air check source of the broadcast at that time. ·version.
By the way, this title was the last of the “LIVE” series press CDs, and the jacket was released with a different paper quality than the previous releases.

1965年のパリ公演は6月20日のステージが二回とも収録されており、演奏面と選曲面の両方で充実したビートルズ・ライブ音源として昔から有名なもの。おかげで数多くのアイテムを生み出してきましたが、それらのリリースはどちらの回でも何かしらの問題を抱えており、それまでに出回っていた複数のタイトルを駆使してPURPLE CHICKが世界中のマニアが待ち望んでいたベスト・バージョンにまとめ上げた名作。
またPURPLE CHICKは音源をまとめ上げる編集センスもさることながら、複数の音源を使用したことで当然生じる音質の違いなども極力解消したイコライズが卓越していた点がマニアから高い評価を受けていたものです。その見事な手腕が「LIVE」シリーズもっとも発揮されたのが本タイトルのパリ公演パートではないかと。

二枚目の最初に収められているローマ公演ファーストショーは当時としては珍しいオーディエンス録音としてLPでリリースされ、マニアの間で話題を呼んだ音源。オランダやアメリカほど盛り上がりが極端でない分、意外なほど聞きやすい録音状態であり、実際ビートルズのオーディエンス録音の中ではもっとも音質の秀でたオーディエンス録音でもあります。
この日のセカンドショーは打って変わってサウンドボード録音が存在しており、これはジャーナリストがミキシングボードにテープレコーダーをつないで録音されたと言われているもので音質も素晴らしい。ところが未だにライブ開始から「I’m A Loser」前半までのパートしか発掘されていないのが残念極まりない音源でもあるという。

そして二枚目のディスクの残りにまとめられたのは8月のアメリカ・ツアー開始前に出演したテレビでのライブ演奏二つ。エド・サリヴァン・ショーは説明不要かと思われますが、ブラックプール・ナイト・アウトの方で演奏部分はもちろん、当時の放送のエアチェック・ソースから拾った番組冒頭のMCなどまで最大限網羅したベスト・バージョン。
ちなみに本タイトルが「LIVE」シリーズプレスCD化の最後となり、ジャケがそれまでのリリースとは違う紙質でリリースされました。
