’73 niche sound source compilation title, which can be said to be “first CD release”, including Copenhagen, which has been a hot topic in recent years!
The highlight is of course Copenhagen, but the Aud source 1 sound source (not the net) of the Berlin performance recorded at the beginning, and the Hamburg performance recorded at the end are also bitter!

The Berlin performance on March 19, recorded in the early stages, is a familiar performance from “LET’S HAVE A PARTY” (3CD).
On this day, there are two types of Aud sound sources and a total of three types of sound sources, SB only in the final part, but this time we feature rare Aud source 1.
Source 2 was used for the main part of the Aud part of “LET’S HAVE A PARTY”, and source 1 was used to compensate for the missing part, but this time the source 1 used to compensate for it was used. Recorded from the tape source (not the net!) Only at the beginning of the live. Source 1 had “Dazed” and “Whole Lotta Love” recorded in the LP “IN EDITS VOL.6” in the LP era, but with the appearance of source 2 with good sound quality in the CD era, A sound source that was completely neglected except that it was used as a supplementary sound source for the previous “LET’S HAVE A PARTY”. In this edition, it is recorded from the tape source, and it is an excerpt recorded only at the beginning of the live, but it is recorded with slightly higher sound quality than the LP edition (still generally B-class level). Source 1 can also be confirmed on the net as being digitized from tape, but the sound quality is much inferior to the tape recorded this time, and Song Remain The Same etc. were not recorded. On this board, it is a very familiar part that includes SRTS and Rain Song, which are unaccounted for in the net sound source. Of course, almost all of them will be on CD for the first time this time.
The March 2 Copenhagen performance recorded in the second section is the main feature of this board, a new live show that has suddenly appeared in recent years.
Unfortunately, it is a monaural Aud sound source of less than 30 minutes of fragment recording, but the sound is quite close and the freshness is outstanding and it can be said that the sound quality is sufficiently high.
Unfortunately, it is a compressed sound source and the recording is short, so this time it was recorded as a gift board, but if there is a little more recording time, it is possible to release a single item.
The third section is also austere.
It is recorded from the familiar Hamburg performance on March 21, but here it is recorded with “first Aud sound source only” while only one song “Tengoku”.
Originally, regarding “Heaven” on this day, the SB sound source first appeared in the early days of CD, while recording halfway.
Regarding the Aud sound source, it first appeared on the CD “MERCY ON ME” to compensate for the lack of the SB sound source part at the end of the same song.
Back and forth, the nostalgic IQ board “SUSPENDED ANIMATION”, which recorded the live Aud sound source itself for the first time on this day, did not include “Heaven” itself.
That’s why, in the past items, there was no opportunity to record “Tengoku” with a straight Aud sound source, so I had to wait until the appearance of this board.
However, fans know that Aud on this day is a “sound for connoisseurs” in terms of sound, but it is also possible to listen to “Heaven” on this day, which is regarded as a masterpiece, through only the Aud sound source. maybe.
As mentioned above, it can be said that this is an item that everyone likes, compiling the material of the three performances that became the “first CD” this time after various circumstances.
★近年登場して話題のコペンハーゲンほか、全てが「初CD化」といえる、’73年ニッチ音源コンピレーション・タイトル！
目玉は当然コペンハーゲンですが、序盤に収録のベルリン公演のAudソース1音源(ネットではない)、末端に収録のハンブルグ公演も渋い！

序盤に収録の3月19日ベルリン公演は「LET’S HAVE A PARTY」(3CD)でお馴染みの公演。
この日はAud音源が2種と終盤部のみのSBの計3種の音源が存在していますが、今回はそのうち珍しいAudのソース1をフィーチャー。
「LET’S HAVE A PARTY」のAud部のメインに使用されていたのはソース2で、欠落部の補填にソース1が使用されていましたが、今回盤ではその補填に使用されていたソース1をライブ序盤のみテープソース(ネットではない！)から収録。ソース1はLP時代に「Dazed」および「Whole Lotta Love」が『IN EDITS VOL.6』というLPで音盤化されておりましたが、CD時代には音質の良いソース2が登場したことで、先の『LET’S HAVE A PARTY』に補填音源として使用された以外は完全におざなりになっていた音源。今回盤ではテープソースからの収録で、ライブ序盤のみの抜粋収録ですが、そのLP盤よりも若干高音質で収録(それでも一般的にはB級レベル)。ネットにもこのソース1はテープからのデジタル化とされるものが確認できますが、そちらでは今回盤収録のテープよりも音質が格段に劣り、Song Remain The Sameなどが未収録だったというもの。本盤ではネット音源では未収のSRTSと断片ながらRain Songも収録した、非常に通好みのパートとなっております。当然ほぼ全てが今回初のCD化となります。
2つ目のセクションに収録の3月2日コペンハーゲン公演は本盤の目玉、近年突如登場した話題の新登場ライブ。
あいにく断片収録の30分弱のモノラルAud音源ですが、音はかなり近く鮮度も抜群で十分に高音質と言えるもの。
あいにく圧縮音源なのと短い収録のため今回はギフト盤収録となりましたが、もう少し収録時間があれば単品リリースもあり得るクオリティ。
3つ目のセクションはこれまた渋い。
お馴染み3月21日のハンブルグ公演からの収録ですが、ここでは「天国」1曲のみながら「初のAud音源のみで一気通貫」で収録。
元々この日の「天国」に関しては、CD黎明期にSB音源が、途中までの収録ながら初登場。
Aud音源に関しては『MERCY ON ME』というCDで同曲のSB音源パート終盤の欠落を補填する形で初登場。
前後しますが、この日のライブのAud音源そのものを初収録した懐かしのIQ盤『SUSPENDED ANIMATION』には「天国」そのものが収録されていなかったのです。
そんなわけで、過去のアイテムでは「天国」を一気通貫のAud音源で収録するという機会は一切なく、今回盤の登場まで待たねばならないのでした。
もっとも、この日のAud、音的にはあくまで「通向けのサウンド」であることはファンなら知るところですが、名演とされるこの日の「天国」をAud音源のみで通して聞くのも乙かも知れません。
以上、さまざまな経緯を経て今回「初CD化」となった3公演の素材をコンパイルした、これぞ通好みのアイテムと言えるでしょう。
