1974 Radio recording live at Ultrasonic Studio, Fleetwood Mac’s most classic live sound source. Due to its nature, it has created many items, but it is undeniable that it has not been released in a while, partly because it was before the explosion of popularity.
On the contrary, it seems that there are many maniacs who have never heard of it. Considering that there are many numbers where Christine takes lead vocals after all, I have to say that this is a serious situation.
Therefore, this time, maniacs have corrected the pitch based on “HYPNOTIZED”, which was considered the best version of Ultrasonic Studio in 1974.
However, after receiving the news of Christine’s death, another mania released a version with further adjustments based on this version.
The pre-broadcast so-called Pre-FM sound source for live performances at Ultrasonic Studio is not available, and the sound source is based on air-checking FM broadcasts using reels at the time. This version is a mania who has adjusted the sound distortion caused by the deterioration of this reel.
Therefore, although it is based on the already-released CD, it is an excellent item that is easier to hear than the already-released items.
The texture of the rough stereo soundboard recording is reminiscent of an air check of an American FM broadcast in the early 1970s.
When Bob Welch was enrolled, the point that the stage belonging to the final stage was captured by stereo sound board recording was also a great attraction of this sound source, but actually capture the size of Welch’s presence here. , It seems that it is a completely different band from the new Mac, which Buckingham & Nicks joined a year later.
In fact, up until this point Mac had shifted to a route aimed at success in the United States, but it was not enough to make a big hit. Rather, it was a time when it was all about grassroots activities like this studio live, and there was still a feeling that the blues band sound of the Peter Green era was still everywhere.
Under such circumstances, Christine’s singing voice and pop songs are literally a refreshing agent, and being able to enjoy her singing voice on the stereo soundboard is exceptional.
In addition, “Homeward Bound” is a repertoire that will be dropped from the next year among her songs that she showed off on this day, and I feel that I am reminded of the value of broadcasting on this day.
The best version of the classic sound source that captures Mack’s “Break Eve” is the strongest single! !
