In 2019, Geffen Records A&R, the 2nd installment of “THE VILLAGE SESSIONS”, commonly known as “THE VILLAGE SESSIONS”, which has become a hot topic since it leaked from Tom Zutau’s locker, has appeared! This time, the sound sources recorded on 13 discs out of the original 19 discs are collected into 4 discs. This time as well, with a composition that emphasizes the material value of untouched credits and sound sources, it contains multiple mixes and version differences of one song, and Roy Thomas Baker until 2001 when these were recorded. I am credited as a producer. Also in 1999 when there was information from that time? The re-recording of “WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE”, which seems to be an instrument, is also the first appearance this time, and it is the second most notable title of this year that covers all the sound sources that have leaked out from Tom Zutau’s locker along with VOL.1!
２０１９年ゲフィン・レコードのA&R、トム・ズータウのロッカーから流出し話題となっていた「CHINESE DEMOCRACY」のＣＤ１９ディスクにも渡る通称「THE VILLAGE SESSIONS」の第２弾が登場！今回は元の１９ディスクの中、１３ディスクに収録された音源を４枚に纏めて収録。今回もクレジット、音源共に手を加えない資料的価値を重視した構成で、１曲のミックス、ヴァージョン違いを複数収録した内容となっており、これらが録音された２００１年までロイ・トーマス・ベイカーがプロデューサーとしてクレジットされております。また当時から情報があった１９９９年？と思われる「WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE」の再録音もインストながら今回初登場で、VOL.１と併せてトム・ズータウのロッカーから流出した音源全て網羅した今年最大の注目タイトル第２弾です！
