Latest work of Wendy label, is the title that was recorded sound board, a live that took place in January 22, 1973, University of Southampton. Concert of the day this is also famous that recording has been made in a multi-track officially, had been shelved for some reason, but I was surprised the sound board of a great high quality flows out in recent years. The sound source has been used in this work exactly.

It is a Zeppelin, which has been a big band already by the time this, but this University of Southampton performances is added is schedule hurriedly, in a concert in a small stage carpeted Furthermore, this has been organized for the live recording can ask to be a concert. What was in the members consciousness assumes the recording, playing also a wonderful thing, it has become a great live album, which was accompanied by the sound quality and content exactly.

This work, recorded in ultra-high quality sound board this Southampton performances. Fine noise has been seen here and there, and also adjust successfully pitch that was crazy in its outstanding panel, but as there is no discomfort changes in sound quality in the middle of the “The Rain Song” and points, was removed to clean it I think such a point that has been subjected to modification, whether you have some sort of title already, but it has become a finish which can be called Ketteiban there is a unique advantage of generic. Press record firmly permanent preservation of the beautiful Picture Disc specification.

Wendyレーベルの最新作は、1973年1月22日サザンプトン大学で行なわれたライヴを、サウンドボード収録したタイトルになります。この日のコンサートは正式にマルチトラックでレコーディングがなされたことでも有名で、何らかの理由でお蔵入りしていたものの、素晴らしい高音質のサウンドボードが近年流出して驚かれました。まさにその音源が本作に使用されています。 

この頃には既にビッグバンドとなっていたツェッペリンですが、このサザンプトン大学公演は急遽日程が加えられ、さらにカーペットが敷かれた小さなステージでのコンサートとあって、これがライヴ・レコーディングのために組まれたコンサートであることが伺えます。レコーディングを前提としている意識がメンバーの中にあったのか、演奏も素晴らしいもので、まさに音質と内容を伴った素晴らしいライヴ・アルバムとなっています。 

本作は、このサザンプトン公演を超高音質サウンドボードにて収録。既発盤では狂っていたピッチを正常に調整し、また細かいノイズが散見されましたが、それを綺麗に除去した点、そして「The Rain Song」での中盤における音質の変化も違和感がないよう修正を施した点など、既に何らかのタイトルをお持ちかと思いますが、後発ならではのアドバンテージがある決定盤ともいえる仕上がりとなっています。美しいピクチャーディスク仕様の永久保存がっちりプレス盤。
