From the “Going for the One” tour that started with Rick Wakeman returning to the keyboard, the performance on the first day of the forum on September 23 will be released. At the beginning of this tour, the set that was “RAM” has changed to “GOING FOR THE ONE”, which was crowned on the tour from the end. An excellent sound source that was digitized directly from Mike Millard’s master cassette and originally had good sound quality and did not require much modification. Introducing the “Legendary” series.

In recent years, “Mike Millard Tape” has been digitized from the master direct or low generation tape. This tape was recorded by Mike Millard, a taper familiar to fans due to the outstanding technique of audience recording. The label has also released multiple sound sources based on this newly digitized Mike Millard tape, two of which are “Brushed Mike Millard Tape” and “Legendary Mike Millard Tape”. There is a pattern. Not all Mike Millard tapes have perfect sound quality, and some of them have a lot of room for improvement, and the “Brushed” series has been significantly improved. Originally, it is almost perfect and there is not much room for sound quality improvement, and the “Legendary” series is the one that keeps the minimum of light editing such as between songs.

キーボードにリック・ウェイクマンが復帰して始まった“Going for the One”ツアーから9月23日のフォーラム初日の公演が登場です。このツアー序盤は『RAM』だったセットが㋇終わりからツアーに冠した『GOING FOR THE ONE』に変わっています。マイク・ミラードのマスター・カセットからダイレクトにデジタル化され、もともと音質が良くあまり修正の必要が無かった優良音源。“レジェンダリー”シリーズとして登場です。

近年マスター直、或いはロウ・ジェネレーションのテープからのデジタル化が進んでいる“マイク・ミラード・テープ”。オーディエンス録音の卓越した技術でファンにはお馴染みのテーパー、マイク・ミラード氏により録音されたテープです。同レーベルからもこの新デジタル化のマイク・ミラード・テープをマスターにした音源が複数リリースされており、“ブラッシュド・マイク・ミラード・テープ”と“レジェンダリー・マイク・ミラード・テープ”の二つのパターンがあります。マイク・ミラード・テープも全てが完璧な音質なわけではなく、中にはかなり手を加えて改良の余地があるものもあり、大幅に手を加えて改良されたものが“ブラッシュド”シリーズ。元々完璧に近く音質改良の余地があまり無く、曲間等の軽い編集など最低限にとどめてあるものが“レジェンダリー”シリーズとなっています。
