DEEP PURPLE’s first visit to Japan, a major event in the history of Japanese Western music that happened 50 years ago. The 50th anniversary edition of the highest peak in history, where you can experience the “3 days of miracles” that became the stage of the historical daimyo board “MADE IN JAPAN”, is now available. Of course, the miraculous three days are “August 15/16, 1972: Osaka Festival Hall” performance and “August 17: Nippon Budokan” performance. It is a 6-disc set with each full audience recording.
[Carefully selected the best from all existing masters] Speaking of “MADE IN JAPAN”, it’s not only DEEP PURPLE’s masterpiece, but rock music’s masterpiece… no, it’s even a masterpiece in the form of a “live album”. Various items, both official and unofficial, have appeared only for that most important work, but among them, the highest peak unique to the underground is the audience recording at that time. Take a 100% performance of the famous miracle that is said to be a miracle, and share the roar and shock with the customers on the spot. I was able to experience a completely different dimension of experience from official works and sound boards. At our shop, we archive such audience recordings with various titles. Including traditional masters known for a long time, new excavation masters such as another system, complete separate recordings, etc. There are legendary titles that have been out of print for a long time, and current titles that are popular every day.Under such circumstances, this work will appear on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of the “50th anniversary”. Re-evaluate all existing audience recordings flat once. It is a 6-disc set that carefully selects the true best masters, polishes them with detailed mastering of “GRAF ZEPPELIN”, and permanently preserves all three performances as a “50-year conclusion”. So which master was the best? Check here.
● August 15: Osaka Festival Hall (first day)
→ “OSAKA 1972 1ST NIGHT”
● August 16: Osaka Festival Hall (Day 2)
→ “LIVE IN JAPAN COMPLETE (Old version DISC 3-4)”
● August 17: Nippon Budokan
→『LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE』
… and the result was like this. I’m sure there are people who would suggest a different title here, saying, “Huh? XX sounds better, doesn’t it?” As a matter of fact, this work does not use the above title as it is. The “best” is selected after redoing the mastering by going back to the original master. In other words, the sound order is determined by the “final form”, not the original or already released. If it’s refurbished and it’s big, that’s what it means to be a champion.
[Detailed mastering by GRAF ZEPPELIN] And the mastering is also an important point of this work. Recently, “GRAF ZEPPELIN” has reborn the famous recordings of various bands, but the finish of this work is also really splendid. The method is a natural group that emphasizes “reproduction of on-site sound” without making poor sound pressure gains. Not to mention the pitch, the phase shift is corrected with precision that does not allow deviations of 1/1000 second, and the wow and flutter is also adjusted. Furthermore, the balance is adjusted by band analysis, and the noise for each band is carefully removed. It is important to stop the noise removal at the last minute so that the performance sound itself does not deteriorate, and while it is beautifully brushed up, it never deviates from the realm of “reproduction of the sound on the spot”.The sound proves its high accuracy. I can’t say enough about the amount of work I’ve done, but if I had to pick one example, would it be ‘Child In Time’? Especially on the first day of Osaka (8/15), it is easy to understand, but the original sound was wow and flutter, and the organ that sounded in the quiet part was twisted. This work is so stable that its shaking is hardly felt. Another example of band balance would be Budokan (8/17). I am strengthening the thin bass, but if I simply emphasize the bass, overpeaking may occur, and if I get scared, the original and child will be lost. Therefore, in this work, while lowering the entire range once so as not to collapse, the bass is enhanced on top of that. It reproduces the original dynamism of the performance while remaining glossy and beautiful.
The revived live was truly a “three miraculous days”. Although it was only for three days, the live performance that has overcome the test of time of half a century and continues to burn the souls of maniacs. Each phrase that has already been engraved at the soul level is vividly and vividly drawn. Yes, what is engraved in this work is exactly “the weight of 50 years”. Sound sources that have remained to the present day because many enthusiasts and countless collectors have continued to pursue them. It is a 6-disc set that has been refined by archive technology that has been constantly advancing for 50 years.
The “sound of 1972” has been passed down because it has been loved, and can only be recaptured in modern times. Please enjoy it anytime, forever with the permanent preservation press 6CD that leaves the shine forever.
A 6-disc full audience recording set that includes the legendary first visit to Japan for three days, “August 15 + 16, 1972: Osaka Festival Hall / August 17: Nippon Budokan”. This is an upgrade board that carefully selected the best quality from all the masters we have handled so far, and refined it with detailed mastering of “GRAF ZEPPELIN”. From pitch/phase adjustment, processing of wow and flutter and various types of noise, to balance adjustment through band analysis, the finish, which is faithful to the basics and polished with unprecedented precision, is truly the highest peak ever. This is the 50th anniversary edition of the crystallization of half a century of collector’s passion and technological progress.
