Original Millard Master Recording！
Disc1-3: Digitally Remastered (＊dadgadリマスターではない) from Mike Millard Master Tapes Flat Transfer
Disc4-6: Direct from Mike Millard Master Tapes Flat Transfer
★ “625” definitive edition recorded in two versions, remastered from the original master (Flat Transfer) of the standard mirrored sound source on June 25, 1977 and Flat Transfer!
★The remastered version of Discs 1-3 has a well-balanced band overall, making it easier to hear than the original sound source. The Flat Transfer version of Disc 4-6 is a real bonus recording.
From the 6 days of the ’77 legendary “LA Forum” performance, the final performance on the 4th day, June 25th!
Like “Eddie”, recorded from the Master released by the JEMS team!
Regarding this day, JEMS has announced the 1st Gen version in the past, but fortunately, the Master this time is fresh and has no adverse effects such as DAT, and the sound is beautiful and delicate, and it seems to be generally good. The texture of the hi-hat is slightly recessed, probably due to the characteristics of the master cassette playback equipment, but it can be said that it is good overall. Of course, there is no noise that sounds like a noise), and the big point is that there is no low-frequency noise in a specific range (hum noise).
In addition, in most places before and after the cut between songs, it is longer than the previous one, and even at the beginning of the live, the cheers of the first appearance are recorded for about 4 seconds, so you can feel a definite upgrade.
This time, a gorgeous 6-disc set recorded in two versions as mentioned above!
Remastered version (* not dadgad remastered) is recorded on Disc 1-3 in the first half, and Flat Transfer version is recorded in the second half.
In the remastered version, the band has been completely revised, and the sound has a firmer tone, and the sound omission has been somewhat improved. It’s not as lively as “Eddie” on the first day, but the nostalgic LED NOTE board of the best already released, or the best No Label in recent years “L.A. FORUM 1977 4TH NIGHT” (the title of the one that is not JEMS’s 1st Gen), The mastering has been done with respect to the title that has been moderately balanced, and the finish is such that you can say, “If you listen to it normally, this part is definitely the best.”
Disc 4-6 in the second half is a flat transfer version of the actual bonus disc, but only a part of the band that was lifted in vain in the high range is a slightly adjusted version. Comparing this part with JEMS’s 1st Gen, it is the best part to compare how good this master is.

★1977年6月25日定番ミラード音源のオリジナル・マスター(Flat Transfer)からのリマスターとFlat Transferの2種類のバージョンで収録した「625」決定盤！
★Disc1-3のリマスターバージョンは全面的に帯域がバランス良く調整され明らかに元音源より聞きやすくなっております。Disc4-6のFlat Transferバージョンは実質ボーナス収録。
’77年伝説の通称「LAフォーラム」公演6daysより、4日目・6月25日公演の決定盤！
「エディー」同様、JEMSチームにより公開されたMasterより収録！
この日に関してはJEMSは過去に1st Genバージョンを発表してましたが、幸い今回のMasterは鮮度も良くDATなどを介した弊害などもなく音も綺麗かつ繊細で概ね良好と言えそうです。マスターカセットの再生機器の特性なのか、ハイハットが若干引っ込んだ質感ですが、全体的には良好と言え、特にその1st Genまたは既発タイトルで目立ったVHS Tapeの影響によるトラッキングノイズ(パチパチした電波ノイズっぽく聞こえるノイズ)も当然なく、また特定域の低周波ノイズ(ブーンというハムノイズ)も皆無なのが大きなポイント。
また曲間カット前後も殆どの箇所で既発より長くなっているほか、ライブ出だしでも4秒ほどながら初登場の歓声も収録と、確実なグレードアップが実感できます。
今回は上述のとおり2種類のバージョンで収録した豪華6枚組！
前半のDisc1-3にリマスターバージョン(＊dadgadリマスターではない)を収録し、後半にFlat Transferバージョンを収録。
リマスターバージョンは帯域が全面的に見直され、腰のあるサウンドとなり、さらに音抜けもいくぶんスッキリとして改善。初日の「エディー」ほどバッキバキなサウンドではありませんが、既発ベストの懐かしのLED NOTE盤、または近年ベストのNo Label「L.A. FORUM 1977 4TH NIGHT」(JEMSの1st Genじゃない方のタイトル)あたりの、適度なバランス処理がなされたタイトルをリスペクトしたようなマスタリングがなされ、「通常聞くなら間違いなくこのパートがベスト」と言えるような仕上がりとなっております。
後半のDisc4-6は実質ボーナスディスクのFlat Transferバージョンですが、高域の無駄に持ち上がった一部の帯域のみ、ほんの僅かに調整したバージョンとなっております。このパートをJEMSの1st Genと聞き比べると、今回のマスターがいかに優れたものであるかを比較するには最適なパートとなっております。
