Aerosmith/MA,USA 1978 Upgrade

This masterpiece, which was highly praised as “the best soundboard album of the 70s” and “this is the real LIVE! BOOTLEG”, has been brushed up. The ultimate sound was born with the utmost precision at each stage, including “broadcast station master reel/prestigious transfer/GRAF ZEPPELIN mastering”. The true identity of this work is a stereo soundboard recording of the “March 28, 1978 Boston performance”. This is an upgraded version of “BOSTON 1978: FM REEL MASTER”, which was loved as the most classic and highest peak album. The biggest point of this work is the quality of “extreme”, but the show itself is also important. In order to get a sense of the meaning of “Real LIVE! BOOTLEG”, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time. 1977 “ROCKS Tour” ・January 29th – February 9th: First visit to Japan (7 shows) “DRAW THE LINE Tour” ・June 21st – July 8th: North America #1 (11 shows) ← *Official 5 songs ・August 13th – 27th: Europe (7 shows) ・September 28th – December 27th: North America #2 (25 shows) 1978 ・January 7th: Jackson show ・March 8th – April 8th: North America #3 (12 shows) ←★Here (8 official songs + α)★ ・May 1st – 26th: North America #4 (10 shows) ・June 27th – August 9th: North America #5 (21 shows) ← *Official 2 songs “LIVE! BOOTLEG Tour” ・September 27th – December 16th: North America #6 (44 shows) This is AEROSMITH in 1977/1978. From “North America #1” to “North America #5” is the “DRAW THE LINE Tour”, and takes selected from each of these places are included in “LIVE! BOOTLEG” (although some of the takes are from 1973). “North America #3” was the center of the tour. The Boston performance of this work was the eighth performance, and the concert where “Toys In The Attic” was also adopted for the official version. In other words, this work is a live album where you can listen to the original stage of LIVE! BOOTLEG through. Now, finally, the main topic. This work is a record that updates the highest peak of such an important sound board. The reason for this extends to all of “source / transfer / mastering”. First of all, the “source” is a 10.5-inch master reel that was sleeping in the broadcasting station “WBCN FM”. It is not even an air check or a broadcast master, but the ultimate source that has been pursued to the original source. Moreover, it was excavated by the prestigious “Krw_co” in the modern collector’s world. This is a masterpiece among masterpieces, discovered and transferred by a long-established company that has handled many analog masters. However, up to this point, we have talked about the previous album, “BOSTON 1978: FM REEL MASTER”. This work polishes this ultimate source with meticulous mastering by “GRAF ZEPPELIN”. We took every precaution until the very end of the process. In fact, the quality is the best ever. If you have read this article, you may know that “GRAF ZEPPELIN”‘s method is “faithful to the basics” and “extraordinary precision” and “reproduces the sound output at the scene”. In other words, it is a concept like the restoration work of paintings and cultural assets, and it is not a cover-up with noticeable sound pressure or flashy equalization. Of course, thorough (even obsessive) adjustments have been made in this work. Pitch and phase deviations are not tolerated even by 1/1000th of a second, and they are not constant but also correspond to random changes. In addition, the stereo balance and frequency band balance adjustments are also carefully adjusted. For example, volume adjustment. Normally, one normalization is enough, but in this work, each song is adjusted to match the tape condition…or even less than that. It is not done all at once, but the left and right channels are adjusted individually, and the balance from high to low tones is also beautifully adjusted by low-frequency analysis. What is the use of that? You may think, but it is surprisingly important. For example, if you try to turn up the sound because it is small based on the overall rough impression, one channel will overpeak, or if you increase the sound pressure because the high tones do not extend, the low tones will be crushed. To prevent this, the only way is to analyze the elements of the sound individually and adjust the whole while pinpointing the appropriate measures. Otherwise, even sounds that are not problematic may be damaged. Of course, this is just one task of “volume adjustment”, and other elements are also checked/compensated with this precision. “GRAF ZEPPELIN mastering” is backed by that enormous amount of work. Such a “superb” sound is depicted as a “through show LIVE! BOOTLEG”. Finally, let’s organize the set. Draw the Line (6 songs) I Wanna Know Why (★) / Sight For Sore Eyes / Kings And Queens (★) / Get It Up (★) / Draw The Line / Milk Cow Blues (★) Others (11 songs) Fly! Aerosmith: Seasons of Wither (★) / Lord Of The Thighs / Same Old Song and Dance (★) / Train Kept a Rollin’ Dark Night Heavy Rock: Big Ten Inch Record (★) / Walk This Way / Sweet Emotion / Toys in the Attic Others: Rats In The Cellar (★) / Get The Lead Out (★) / Chip Away the Stone *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on “LIVE! BOOTLEG”. This is a supreme album that was digitized by a prestigious excavation company using the ultimate material, “in-house reel master,” and polished with meticulous mastering. The aim of this album is to “repair and reproduce music art on-site,” so there are no meaningless, flashy modifications. The source may be so extreme that it may not be “something completely different,” but that is merely the result. It is the result of pursuing “sound worthy of permanent preservation” to be passed on to future generations. This is the ultimate soundboard album that must remain forever as a symbol of the “golden age of AEROSMITH.” This is a stereo soundboard recording of the “March 28, 1978 Boston performance,” which is also the source material of “LIVE! BOOTLEG.” This is a masterpiece digitized by the prestigious “Krw_co,” which unearthed the 10.5-inch master reel that had been sleeping at the radio station WBCN FM, and was meticulously mastered by “GRAF ZEPPELIN.” This is a live album that has been carefully crafted in all stages of the “source/transfer/mastering” process.
