Soundboard compilation from North American Tour 1972. Soundboard
Play sample :
Following “1969”, which became a great bestseller, this time, a compilation album will finally appear that summarizes soundboard recordings from the 1972 US tour. It is inevitable that the next tour will be 72 years since the 69-year tour was released. For this tour, “PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL” and “WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY” are known as a treasure trove of sound boards such as Pittsburgh in Fort Worth released in the past as well as the classic name board “WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY”. This tour was originally recorded on a multi-track stereo sound board recording, premised on the release of a live album. However, due to the contract problem regarding the use of songs in the Decca era, he failed. What was broadcasted using a part of it became the source of the previous “PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL”, and many rough mix sound sources were leaked.
These sound sources are infiltrated among enthusiasts by the famous titles listed above, but there are other outflow sound sources. A compilation of all of them has appeared under the name of “PLUG IN FLUSH OUT” since the LP era, and items that inherit this title and concept have been released on CDs. While the volume of these culmination titles is certainly attractive as a collector’s item, it is also true that from the point of view of listening, you will get tired of hearing clearly. To support this, now, single titles for each performance are preferred over culmination (of course), and the titles listed above are very popular.
As each of these performance titles is delighted, the remaining sound board leaked sound source is naturally overwhelmed. Like “1969”, this time it will be released on a limited press CD under the concept of carefully summarizing such sound sources.
Among the two discs, the first one is “MORE PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL” as the title, which summarizes materials that were not recorded in “PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL” from Philadelphia sound board recording. In the old days, there were TSP’s “PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL II”, etc., and if it was just a sound source, you could hear it in the “PLUG IN FLUSH OUT” LP. However, this time thorough review of the pitch and equalization of the sound source. Even the slightest distortion of the sound, and the space between songs that are often found in outflow sound sources, the cheer that was heard in the sound source of the same day was added, and the best “ Firaspe ” finished as a live album without a sense of incongruity It became a sequel.
A series of “Firaspe” sound source is a basic rough mix, so the stereo sound board recording is a little different from the official one. However, with the various adjustments made in this release, you can enjoy a sense of stability that is not comparable to previous releases.
On the other hand, the second disc includes video-related sound board recordings in the first half, as you can see from the fact that the opening is “BROWN SUGAR” at MSG broadcast on the American television program, Dick Cabet Show. . Since it is a performance at the peak, it is easy to hear the sound quality that the punching power of the performance was amplified by monaural. For example, “Sweet Virginia” is the same performance as the first one, but this is also a monaural impression that is completely different and can be enjoyed as a live sound source diff mix. Furthermore, it covers everything from “Jumping Jack Flash” in Canada, which was broadcast on a news program (despite a short compilation), and it definitely has a finish that makes you enthusiastic.
In the middle, the outflow sound source of the stereo sound board different from the first one is gathered, but “Midnight Rambler” can be heard from the first show instead of the familiar second show in Fort Worth. This extraordinary performance is a symbol of a tour called “Rock and Roll Dynamite” and mania. This is an incandescent appearance that makes you want to call it a godly performance. Since this famous performance was apt to be overwhelmed by various famous titles, please be overwhelmed by the intense development and the intensity of the performance, such as those who were heard for the first time this time.
And in the second half of the second piece, the take that was in progress for the live album that was supposed to be released is intensively recorded. For example, “ Tumbling Dice ” is a powerful tone with overdubbing feeling from Mic’s way of singing, and Keith has been adding harmony there, re-recording with a vocal arrangement that can not be on the actual stage I understand that it was done. In other words, it tells that the work for the release that was carried out in the “GET YER YA-YA’S OUT!” From the 1969 tour was inherited.
The sound source that the work of this live album has progressed is also a famous sound source that various releases were created under the name of “ KEEP YOUR MOTOR RUNNIN ” ‘, but this time based on the most natural version, This is also a thorough adjustment of pitch and sound quality. Natural sound quality versions so far have often been overlooked in recent years, so you can enjoy the mania that you’ve been accustomed to listening to in the previous title.
For the enthusiast who listened to the name board of the first 72-year tour listed above, it has never been possible to find such a useful two-disc compilation. Still, edit contents that reach the ugly place. Tome has been thoroughly overhauled for each take and finished with an “another side of filaspe” without complaint. Of course, Jacques is a black and white photo with a star design. Please call it “Moaspe”!
★ Concepts include VGP Philadelphia Special, Pittsburg 1972, Fort Worth 1972 2nd Show, Welcome To New York Board collection. Even if a song is worn, it is all mixed.
大ベストセラーとなった「1969」に続き、今回は遂に1972年のアメリカ・ツアーからのサウンドボード録音をまとめたコンピレーションアルバムが登場します。69年ツアーがリリースされたのだから次回が72年となるのは必然でしょう。このツアーに関しては「PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL」に「WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY」という古典的な名盤はもとより、当店でも過去にリリースされたフォートワースにピッツバーグといった具合にサウンドボードの宝庫として知られています。このツアーは元々ライブアルバムのリリースを前提として多くの公演がマルチトラックによるステレオ・サウンドボード録音で収録されていたのです。ところがデッカ時代の曲の使用に関する契約問題から頓挫。その一部を使ってラジオ放送されたものが先の「PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL」の元となり、さらには多くのラフミックス音源の流出が起きていました。
これらの音源は先に挙げた名盤タイトルによってマニアの間に浸透していますが、他にも流出音源が存在。それらを全部ひっくるめた集大成がLP時代から「PLUG IN FLUSH OUT」の名の下に登場し、CDでもこのタイトルやコンセプトが継承されたアイテムがリリースされ続けいています。こうした集大成タイトルのボリューム感は確かにコレクターズ・アイテムとして魅力的な一方、リスニングの観点からすればはっきり聞き疲れしてしまうのも事実。それを裏付けるように、今は集大成よりも各公演ごとの単体タイトルの方が好まれており（当然かと）、先に挙げたようなタイトルが高い人気を誇っています。
そうした各公演タイトルがもてはやされることで、当然あぶれてしまうのが残りの各種サウンドボード流出音源。「1969」がそうだったように、今回もそんな音源を丁寧にまとめたコンセプトのもと、限定プレスCDにてリリースされるのです。
二枚のディスクの内、一枚目はフィラデルフィアのサウンドボード録音から「PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL」には収録されなかったマテリアルをまとめあげたタイトル通りの「MORE PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL」。こうしたコンセプトも古くはTSPの「PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL II」などがありましたし、音源だけなら例の「PLUG IN FLUSH OUT」LPでも聞けたもの。ところが今回は音源のピッチやイコライズの見直しを徹底。ちょっとした音の歪みまでも見逃さず、さらには流出音源にありがちな曲間の空白には同日の音源で聞かれた歓声を加え、ライブアルバムとして違和感のない状態へと仕上げた最上の「フィラスぺ」続編となりました。
一連の「フィラスぺ」音源は基本ラフミックスですので、ステレオ・サウンドボード録音でもオフィシャルのそれとはちょっと違う。しかし今回のリリースにおいて施した各種アジャストにより、過去のリリースとは比べ物にならない安定感でお楽しみいただけます。
一方、二枚目のディスクはオープニングがアメリカのテレビ番組、ディック・キャベット・ショウで放送されたMSGでの「BROWN SUGAR」であることからも解るように、映像関連のサウンドボード録音を前半に収録。何しろ絶頂期のパフォーマンスですので、モノラルによって演奏のパンチ力が増幅された音質は聞き応え十分。例えば「Sweet Virginia」などは一枚目と同じ演奏なのですが、これまたモノラルで印象がまるで違っており、ライブ音源のディフ・ミックスとしても存分に楽しめる仕上がり。さらにはニュース番組で（ショート編集ながら）放送されたカナダでの「Jumping Jack Flash」まで網羅しており、間違いなくマニアを唸らせる仕上がりとなっています。
中盤には一枚目と違ったステレオ・サウンドボードの流出音源をまとめていますが、かのフォートワースでもおなじみセカンドショーからでなく、ファーストショーからのテイクで聞ける「Midnight Rambler」。このあまりに壮絶な演奏、それは「ロックンロール・ダイナマイト」とマニアに称されるツアーを象徴するようなもの。これぞ神がかった演奏と呼びたくなる白熱ぶり。この名演なども各種の有名タイトルからあぶれがちでしたので、もし今回初めて聞かれた人など、あまりに強烈な展開と演奏の激しさ圧倒されてください。
そして二枚目の後半はリリースされるはずだったライブアルバム用に作業が進行していたテイクを集中的に収録。例えば「Tumbling Dice」などはミックの歌い方からしてオーバーダビング感たっぷりの力んだ調子ですし、そこへキースがずっとハーモニーを付けているという、実際のステージではありえないボーカル・アレンジメントで録り直されていたことがよく解ります。言わば1969年ツアーからの「GET YER YA-YA’S OUT!」で行われたリリース向け作業が継承されていたことを物語るもの。
このライブアルバムの作業が進行した音源は「KEEP YOUR MOTOR RUNNIN’」の名の下で各種リリースが生み出されたという、これまた名音源でもあるのですが、今回はもっともナチュラルなバージョンを元に、こちらもピッチや音質のアジャストを徹底。ここまでナチュラルな音質のバージョンは近年において見過ごされがちでしたので、先のタイトルで聞き慣れたマニアなども意外なほど新鮮に楽しめるのでは。
最初に挙げた72年ツアー各種の名盤を聞き込んだマニアにとって、これほど重宝する二枚組コンピレーションというのは今までありそうでなかった。それでいて痒い所に手が届く編集内容。とどめは各テイクごとに徹底したオーバーホール作業を施して文句なしの「アナザー・サイド・オブ・フィラスぺ」に仕上げました。もちろんジャケは白黒写真に星というこだわりのデザイン。こちらは「モアスペ」と呼んでください！
★コンセプトは、VGP『Philadelphia Special』や『Pittsburg 1972』、『Fort Worth 1972 2nd Show』『Welcome To New York』といった単品のブート名盤群、そしてオフィシャル『Ladies And Gentleman』と被らない1972年サウンドボード集です。曲が被っても、全てミックス違いとなってます。
