Urgent release!! Pink Floyd’s 1987 stereo SBD recording has dramatically improved sound quality with a new source that includes the first scene!! This is an amazing new work that allows you to feel the improved sound quality in every scene!!!Floyd Stereo SBD recording from 1987… This may be a bit late for fans, but this is known to be extremely rare. Specific examples include the rehearsal recording held in an aircraft hangar before the start of the tour on August 7th, the Miami performance on November 1st, and the JFK Stadium in Philadelphia on September 19th. Although this JFK sound source stereo SBD is only recorded in the first half of the show, it has been a well-known source for a long time due to its rarity as an 1987 SBD, and its existence became known in 1993 with the title “HAND OF FATE”. It has become. The label also remastered this source on disc 4 of a 4-CD set called “JFK Stadium 1987,” but this source, which has been used for many generations, has a narrow range and sound that is not typical of SBD even after remastering. The severity of the cracking could not be removed, and even though it was a stereo SBD, its characteristics were not fully utilized, leaving a frustrating feeling. However, did you know that recently, a new source for this SBD has appeared on the Internet, and its dramatically upgraded sound quality has become a hot topic among fans? According to the uploader, it seems to be based on the 2nd Gen cassette tape, but the sound directly derived from the master recording is recorded on disc 4 of the aforementioned “JFK Stadium 1987” (*hereinafter referred to as the “already released version”). It boasted a sound quality that was an order of magnitude fresher than the original source. However, there were two drawbacks to this online version of the source that cannot be overlooked. One is “Sorrow”, and the missing scene, which is probably due to the tape change of the master recording, was about 3 minutes long in this new source as well as in the previously released version. However, in this album, this missing scene is supplemented with an AUD recording of the same day synchronized with a waveform of 1/1000, and a perfect repair is performed so that it can be listened to seamlessly without any discomfort. Another drawback of the online version was the presence of harsh noise that frequently occurred in the right channel from around 5:52 of “On The Turning Away” to the mid-7 minute range. This noise was also present in the previously released editions (* It is probably due to the master recording), but in this work, this noise has been successfully removed completely for the first time (* The world’s first It’s a great achievement!). By eliminating this, the listening comfort has improved significantly, and this work has gained a quality advantage not only from the already released version but also from the new source released. Also, with the release of the source, it was revealed that the pitch of the previously released version was quite fast, but in order to avoid repeating the same problem as the previously released version, we have corrected it again to the correct pitch, so all scenes. You can now enjoy the correct sound of stereo SBD. Now, as for the content, even though this is just one CD, it’s a big deal with a lot of upper scenes. For example, the beginning of “Echoes” is a cut-in from the middle of the singing part in this work, but this time it starts about 2 minutes earlier than the previously released version. The actual set was built on August 7th, just before the start of the world tour, in the aircraft hangar of the airline “AIR CANADA” (*which Floyd would use to transport the crew and equipment on this tour). This is because the SBD recording during the rehearsal that was held was added as a supplement. Since both are the same SBD, there is almost no discomfort when shifting the source, and you can enjoy longer songs than before at a level that you can hardly tell or notice unless it is written that they are connected here. The upper part of the sound image stands out in the “Nothing Part 14” part, which starts after the albatross cry. With the hiss noise gone, weak sounds are much easier to hear, so the gloss of the synthesizer’s tone, the muted guitar, the sharpness of the cymbals that come in at 12:29, and the playability of the toms are much improved. It has improved and leaves a lingering sound that far exceeds the previously released version. “Learning To Fly” also benefits greatly from the sharp reduction in hiss noise, and the female vocals coming in from the right side and the harmony by Gilmore appear with an even more responsive sound. The ensemble that is carried one after another at close range also attracts attention, and the sharpness and loudness of each instrument sound creates an upper-class feeling. “Yet Another Movie” is all about improving the sensation of explosiveness in the bass range. The thickness and weight of the tone, which has been overwhelmingly ranked up from the previous release, appears in a rich sound, and it is extremely dynamic, as if the woofer function is turned on. This also makes the melody of the guitar’s high-pitched chirps even more dazzling, and the radiant power of its sound is sure to take your breath away. In “Terminal Frost,” the harsh sound in the low range is gone, and the saxophone, which sings in the mid to high range, has a clear difference in tonal resolution. The sounds of each instrument, with their overlapping energies, unfold in unprecedented high-resolution sound. On the other hand, “Sorrow” is a song where the difference between the source used on the previous release and the source used this time is noticeable. There is a difference in the places where scenes are missing in the master recording (probably due to tape changes), but if you organize them, it will be as follows. [Source used for the previously released version] The recording cuts out momentarily at 0:27, and the singing scene “♪ His blood has frozen and curdled…” about 3 minutes later (*originally at 3:45) is cut. Connected in [Latest source used on this board] Recording remains until 0:58, and after that, the best AUD source takes over and progresses. It returns to SBD from the singing part “♪ His blood has frozen and curdled…” at 3:45, which is the same as the previously released version. What is noteworthy is that unlike the previously released version where the recording was cut off at 0:27, the source used this time is The point is that the original sound remains for about 30 seconds until 0:58. The following 3 minutes from 0:59 to 3:45 was covered by the same day’s AUD source, but I’m happy to say that this AUD source is quite good and the sound quality is very similar, so I decided to change the source. The discomfort caused by this is extremely close to zero. As a result, all the scenes that were missing are revived with the sound of the scene on the day, and the seamless overall length is maintained, which is a topic unique to this board. Similarly, for “On The Turning Away,” there was a slight chirping noise between the released source and the previously released source from 5:52 to the late 7 minute mark, but this was also caused by our label’s engineers. After careful treatment, it completely disappeared. Every scene is an outstanding sound image, but especially when you listen to the chorus scene by Rachel and Margaret that starts at 4 minutes 34 seconds, everyone will be moved by the beautiful sound that can’t even be compared to the previous release, and your heart will be excited. It’s certain. What everyone will notice when hearing this sound is that it has a master sound quality that is hard to believe from 2nd gen. This is one of the few stereo SBD sound sources from 1987, and only the negative aspects have been focused on for a long time. What has happened can be said to be a long-awaited moment for fans. Yes, this is the latest work that will melt into your ears with the high-quality texture and spaciousness that the performance at JFK Stadium in 1987 has been waiting for. Please experience the excitement of unleashing the full potential of this stereo SBD at the beginning of the 2020s!The sound quality is incomparably better than previous releases. Moreover, it is recorded for a long time. Live at JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, PA, USA 19th September 1987 STEREO SBD(UPGRADE) (72:38) 1. Echoes 2. Signs Of Life 3. Learning To Fly 4.
