Who,The Who/PA,USA 1973 Complete Soundboard Edition Upgrade

Philadelphia on December 4th is one of the most important stereo soundboard recordings of The Who’s 1973 US tour. An excerpt from this recording was broadcast on the US radio slot “KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR” and released countless times under the name of “TALES FROM THE WHO”. It is a classic among classics, and even non-enthusiasts probably have at least one copy. It made us aware of the greatness of the 1973 tour. Then, in 2007, the full-length version of the original Philadelphia was released on the “WOLFGANG’S VAULT” (now “CONCERT VAULT”) site, which caused a huge sensation 15 years ago. As it was a rough mix of the full-length version of Philadelphia in 1973 recorded on multi-track for radio broadcast, it became a huge bestseller when it was released on CD in “SPECTRUM 1973”. The stereo sound board, which boasts such high sound quality, continues to be requested even after “SPECTRUM 1973” is sold out, and it was later reborn with a yellow jacket for “PHILADELPHIA 1973”, and then evolved into “DEFINITIVE PHILADELPHIA 1973”, but these are also all sold out. The best sound quality stereo sound board sells out no matter how many times it is released. However, even though it was originally a multi-track sound board, it was released in 2007, and when it was compressed due to the limitations of the distribution technology at the time, Keith Moon’s cymbals were reborn with a slurping texture, which was somehow unpleasant to the ear. Nevertheless, it was still a very good sound source, so it became a best-seller after the best-seller mentioned above, but the big dilemma was that the releases up to now have consistently had a sense of discomfort from the slurping of the cymbals. This was fine when playing it from the speakers, but when listening to it with headphones… I can’t shake the sense of discomfort. For example, the Rolling Stones’ 1981 broadcast sound source, which was released in large quantities by “WOLFGANG’S VAULT” in 2013, was distributed with a sound quality that was much easier to listen to due to the evolution of technology, and was actually released on a limited press CD, but the 1973 sound source of The Who was distributed for a long time with the quality of 2007. However, the same site quietly updated the sound source of Philadelphia in 1973. This was after the release of “DEFINITIVE PHILADELPHIA 1973”, and it is assumed that the replacement was made after 2019. Naturally, the big problem with the 2007 version, the strange feeling of the cymbals being piercing, was solved at once. The difference was too big, and in fact, when Keith’s cymbals stood out in the performance like the beginning of “Bell Boy”, the difference was finally obvious. It was “GRAF ZEPPELIN” who noticed this distribution replacement. Philadelphia was already eagerly awaiting its fourth re-release, but it has made it possible to release a significantly higher version that goes beyond a simple reissue. While the new distribution version solved a major problem, the input level was slightly over. For example, it was noticeable around “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, and “GRAF ZEPPELIN” firmly adjusted that. This has wiped out the digital-like unnaturalness of the cymbals, which has been a long-standing problem with Philadelphia 73. This time, it has evolved into a stable stereo sound board that can be enjoyed carefully with headphones. This will be an undisputed must-buy version for those who have previously released versions. And the performance of “Naked Eye”, which was not used on the broadcast because the band was out of order when the performance reached about 5 minutes, can now be enjoyed without being bothered by the sound of the cymbals. It is a must-listen to hear Pete’s brilliant convergence without the band’s performance falling apart from this incident. This is the definitive version of the new Philadelphia 73! The cymbal’s slurping feeling is finally gone. This is great! Live at Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA, USA 4th December 1973 STEREO SBD UPGRADE…Disc 1 (63:46) 01. Introduction 02. I Can’t Explain 03.
