Description
A new title from Blueberry Hill, the eternally iconic audience of Zeppelin live performances, has been released! While two versions have been released under the name “LIVE ON BLUEBERRY HILL” and even “LIVE ON BLUEBERRY HILL: ANOTHER MASTER” in the past, these past releases were essentially based on files remastered by overseas enthusiasts. However, this release takes a different approach, going back to the existing original recordings to create the best version. It’s well known that there are multiple audience recordings from this day, but the three most prominent are the “TMOQ source,” the “Rubber Dubber” source, and the “Cobra” source. The TMOQ and NZCD mono sources, which brought the splendor of this day to the world in real time, and the Rubber Dubber version, which featured songs not heard on those sources and boasted a deep, clear sound, have replaced these older sources and become the leading Blueberry Hill item to this day. This recording, which had previously been overlooked and only released in small doses on TMOQ’s “THREE DAYS AFTER,” was first released on CD by Mud Dogs and the old Tara label, where it was marketed as if it were a stereo version of the TMOQ source, with claims that “Blueberry Hill was actually a stereo recording!” It’s nostalgic. The subsequent release of the Cobra disc established it as a distinct, non-TMOQ stereo recording, and the sound quality was upgraded. Not only is it a stereo recording, but the sound image is also very close, making it undoubtedly of exceptional quality for a 1970 audience recording. While the use of fan-remastered online sources has become increasingly common in recent years, as with the first release, this recording is based on the 3rd Gen version, which was not accessed via the internet. It’s clearly recorded in a way that maximizes its naturalness and freshness. Furthermore, since this recording appears to be from the 1970s, and all recordings contain cuts, large or small, they will inevitably require editing for a full-length release. This is no exception, even for the “Cobra” source. Recent releases and fan remasters often miss this point during editing, especially when it comes to remasters by overseas enthusiasts. Therefore, this time, we’ve thoroughly compensated for it by utilizing sound sources other than the three major sources. In particular, the more than one-and-a-half-minute cut between songs just before “Bron-Yr-Aur” was compensated for using “Source 4.” In this way, “Source 4” is heavily used as a filler for cuts, and in the case of the cuts around the organ solo before “Thank You,” the areas with poor contact noise were partially mono-converted and then compensated for. The most overlooked cut from “Moby Dick” to “Whole Lotta Love” is the one that was often overlooked in previous releases because even “Source 4” couldn’t fully compensate for it (wry smile). However, this time, we’ve fully incorporated “Source 5,” even “TMOQ Source,” and “Rubber Dubber Source” to achieve a complete recording! The result of our quest to fully recreate this historic day has led to this incredibly meticulous compilation. Blueberry Hill has long maintained an unshakable reputation among Zeppelin enthusiasts. While the first release based on the overseas enthusiast-produced files was well-received, what’s even more desirable is a truly top-quality, all-you-can-eat release. Items based solely on the “Cobra” source, renowned for its exceptional audience appeal, have been released to the point of being discarded. Therefore, it’s only natural to thoroughly restore the cuts found in the “Cobra” source and release the ultimate Zeppelin performance and recording in its best form. Moreover, rather than simply splicing together the sound sources, each is brought together in a surprisingly natural way. This powerful stereo sound source is a new Blueberry Hill that beginners and enthusiasts alike can enjoy with confidence. In fact, the editing is so smooth that the aforementioned multiple-source edits may slip through your mind at first listen. Enjoy to your heart’s content this once-in-a-lifetime performance of ZEP, delivered at the LA Forum on September 4th, 1970, from the intro before the concert to the day’s epic finale, “Blueberry Hill.” This release primarily features the best stereo source from Src3, edited from multiple sources, and includes the entire album uncut, including the gaps between songs! Source Details: Src1: Mono Audio source. This is the earliest recording from the LP era. This is what you’d expect from Blueberry. During the LP era, it was released on Blimp Records and TMOQ stamp jackets. During the CD era, some NZCD and EVSD releases were originals, while all other releases were copies of NZCD and other labels. Recent releases from EVSD have revealed that the original was a blend of two different sources. While mono, the sound quality is comparable to Src3 at this live performance. A few seconds of this recording is used for filler. Src2: Mono Audio source. This also appeared in the early days of the LP era, and is a unique source from the Rubber Dubber record, with no evidence of tape distribution. While it tends to be overshadowed by Blimp/TMOQ and Src3, it actually boasts exceptionally high sound quality. Its overwhelming sound surpasses that of the original LP and previously released CDs, and it was included on Disc 3. It was also used briefly to fill in the gaps between tracks on the main track. Src3: Stereo Audio. It first appeared on several tracks on TMOQ’s “3 DAYS AFTER” during the LP era, but in the ’90s CD era, it was used primarily on Mud Dogs, the old Tara, Antora, and Cobra albums. Today, it’s arguably the most frequently used recording for this live performance. Its immersive stereo sound, close-proximity sound, and powerful bass make it a high-quality audio source. This is also the main recording for this performance. Src4: Stereo Audio. This recording became famous in the ’90s when it was used as a sub-source on Cobra albums. While it’s stereo and doesn’t offer as much bass as Src3, its sound is quite close, making it frequently used as a sub-source when Src3 is the main recording. Full-length versions have also become available in recent years. This recording was used as a sub-source.・Src5…Mono Aud. A mono source that appeared on the old Tara Blue Jacket Blueberry CD in the 90s. The sound is distant, but there are few cuts, so it is sometimes used to fill in areas that cannot be fully covered by other sources. This time, it was also used for intros before the start of live performances that could not be fully covered by the above sources. ・Src6…Mono Aud. A new source that has only recently begun to circulate. Although it is a valuable new source, it is thought to be even more difficult sound-wise than Src5, so it has not been used at all this time.
