Deep Purple/Italy 1993 Upgrade

“LOST MILAN TAPE 1993″ is an official grade stereo line recording of DEEP PURPLE’s 1993 tour, which was the third performance of the European tour in Milan, Italy. It was a superb performance that overturned the concept of the “THE BATTLE RAGES ON” tour, which was considered to be of “low quality”, and gave a shocking topic to all DEEP PURPLE and Richie fans. This time, this early masterpiece sound source, which was sold out and out of print for a long time, will be revived with an upgraded appearance and listening experience! “THE BATTLE RAGES ON”, in which Ian Gillan returned after many twists and turns following the departure of Joe Lynn Turner, was criticized for everything from the production process to the album’s style, and even today it is viewed from a negative stance. This is a work that is often used. However, in the seventh PURPLE tour, at least in the first half, the tense band situation had an unexpected positive effect, and in contrast to the somewhat scattered album, it was a thrilling performance in a good way. is completed. “LOST MILAN TAPE 1993″, which captures the 7th generation of PURPLE performing tight and positive performances with soundboard sound sources sourced from related parties, quickly became a must-have for fans due to its high documentary value and entertainment value. After becoming sold out in a short period of time, it has remained difficult to obtain for a long time. This time, this masterpiece sound source has been re-released for the first time in 6 years with a complete treatment. In addition to the outstanding brightness of the outlook, the mix that perfectly separates each instrument was described as being on par with the official version at the previous release stage, but this time it emphasizes the bass more than the previous releases and improves the sound. The sound has been remastered to give it a wider, more live feel. With this correction, each member’s performance is wonderfully powerful and lively, and the entire ensemble also sounds tighter and tighter. In particular, Pace’s drumming, which was a little flat in the previous edition, explodes with a listening response that resonates in the stomach in this work, and fans who have listened to the previous releases will be surprised by this. Use newly acquired master tape. It is recorded for 8 seconds from the beginning, proving the authenticity of the master tape from the beginning! In addition, the sound fragmentation that was observed in several places during the recording was repaired as much as possible during the production of this sound source, and we strived to improve the ease of listening. 3:54 of Child In Time and 4:45 of Paint It Black, which were previously cut, are also recorded uncut on this edition. The guitar solo of the last Smoke On The Water is also 2 seconds long compared to the previous release, but it is recorded longer. The performance, which approaches with high tension, has brushed up acoustics and feels even brighter from the opening. “Highway Star”, where Pace carves the intro rhythm with a slightly different rhythm than usual, is a great place to listen. On this day, Richie performed a series of aggressive plays that brought out his wild spirit and spirit, and in the solo of the same song where he played freely, he played so well that it made you want to clap your hands and say, “This is Richie!” I’ll give it to you. Of course, there are some mistakes, but they show off a dynamic guitar that makes you feel “motivated” to a degree that is rare since their reunion. Richie’s motivation is uninterrupted, and the solo backing is fulfilling in every song. In the middle of the second song, “Black Night,” he suddenly starts playing “Jesus Christ Superstar,” and Ian Gillan immediately responds and gets involved, making the rumored “cold war” between the two sides seem like a lie. There is also. In this way, with Ritchie at the core, Pace, Jon Lord, and even Roger Glover interact, the free and lively play of a spontaneous band is reminiscent of the ’85 tour immediately after the reunion. The soundboard takes of “Talk About Love” and “A Twist In The Tale”, which have only been confirmed to be played on the ’93 tour, are valuable even now that the official live work has been released. In addition, extremely rare song selections such as “Anyone’s Daughter” and “Paint It Black” should not be missed as features of the “25th anniversary tour of the band.” The second half of the live performance begins with the good numbers “Anya” and “The Battle Rages On,” which are representative of PURPLE in the ’90s, and every song is wonderfully listenable, making the listeners groan. As mentioned above, Pace, who is in great condition from the opening, will listen to the best play in “Lazy” and the solo part that continues from there. Even as the live performance enters its final stages, the positive mood on stage remains intact. At the beginning of “Space Truckin'”, Richie makes a mistake in entering the song, and Gillan starts laughing at that, but instead of being offended, Richie is having fun and carving out wild riffs, and there are many shoddy plays. You won’t feel the slightest bit of dust. This is a very fun and enjoyable place to listen to, overturning the impression of the 7th season of PURPLE, which was said to be “squeamish”. It is the same as last time that the recording ended in the middle of the encore “Smoke On The Water”, but as mentioned above, we intentionally recorded it until the very end without doing any fade processing, so it is better than the previous recording. You can listen to it for a little longer. After this, they performed high-quality live shows until around the German tour in October, but by the time they started the UK tour in November, the band’s condition deteriorated, and Ritchie finally left the band. welcome. There is no other collector’s item where you can enjoy the precious performance of the 7th generation PURPLE, which was dismantled in just under two months of tour, with such excellent sound and play. This definitive sound source, which is always at the top of requests for re-release of DEEP PURPLE items that are out of print, will once again provide fans with a sensational topic as the best item that far surpasses the previous releases! Please fully enjoy the magic released by the golden five with the refreshing and exquisite sound.
