★Precious ’66 Live! Sound board sound source / press decision board of Portland performance!
★ “My Funny Valentine” is recorded in the correct position!
★ Naturally, there is no phase shift or gap noise!

Monaural sound board sound source with good freshness.
The song order is the correct song order and has been recorded for the longest time.
Regarding the position of “My Funny”, which is often talked about in this performance, there was originally a duplicate recording in the cheering part between songs after playing “My Funny” and the cheering part between songs of “All Blues”, and from there All It can be derived from the performance before Blues.
In this board, this duplicate recording part has been uncut, and this board will be the first seamless recording in history.

In addition, the final part of “Gingerbread Boy” is supplemented with another sound source and recorded uncut for the first time!
In short, “Gingerbread Boy” and the next “No Blues” are almost connected from the beginning. The title without a break here is the first in history!
Therefore, inevitably, the position of the disc change is only in the form of the main board.
The best recording format at present is only the main board no matter where you look!

It can be asserted that the sound quality is definitely the best, and in recent years there are some crude titles for mass retailers, but they lose their freshness due to the effect of hiss reduction. The difference is stark. Of course, there is hiss on this board, but the analogue texture is given top priority, and appropriate EQ processing has been applied to the limit that does not impair the atmosphere of the scene. It is the decision board of the performance!

With limited numbering!

★貴重な’66年ライブ!ポートランド公演のサウンドボード音源・プレス決定盤!
★”My Funny Valentine”は正しい位置に収録!
★位相ズレやギャップノイズは当然なし!

鮮度も良好なモノラル・サウンドボード音源。
曲順は正しい曲順で、過去最長収録されています。
本公演では散々取りざたされる”My Funny”の位置についてですが、”My Funny”演奏後の曲間歓声部と”All Blues”の曲間歓声部には実は元々重複収録があり、そこからAll Bluesの前の演奏と導き出せるのです。
本盤ではこの重複収録部がノーカット復旧されており、本盤が史上初のシームレス収録となります。

また、”Gingerbread Boy”終盤部は別音源で補填され初のノーカット収録!
要するに”Gingerbread Boy”と次の”No Blues”は曲自体元々ほぼ繋がっているのです。ここに切れ目のないタイトルは史上初!
よって、必然的にDiscチェンジの位置も本盤のような形態しかないということになります。
現状ベストの収録形態はどこを探しても本盤のみ!

音質についても間違いなくベストと断言でき、近年は粗雑な量販店向けタイトルなどもありますが、それらではヒスリダクションの影響で鮮度が落ち、”Stella”冒頭など静かなパートで比べれば、本盤とその差は歴然としています。当然本盤ではヒスもありますが、アナログ的な質感が最優先され、また現場の空気感を損ねないギリギリの範囲で適切なEQ処理が施されており、現状間違いなくベストとなる、Portland ’66公演の決定盤です!
