Beatles/CA,USA 1964・1965 Lemon Records CSR-143

The Beatles’ Hollywood Bowl was finally released on CD in September of this year. It is common knowledge among enthusiasts that the stages were recorded once in 1964 and twice in 1965, and when this release was announced, expectations were high: “Are they finally releasing each of the three performances?” However, in reality, it was just a bonus addition to the 1977 album. Although it is common knowledge that the stereo rough mix sound source of each of the three performances is now in circulation, it is better to listen to the 1964 performance in monaural…You can hear the voices of such maniacs. In addition, as a simple comparison, it is true that the performance in 1964 has more momentum than in 1965. Therefore, this time we will introduce an item that allows you to listen to the performance from 1964 in a punchy monaural sound. In the era when analog bootlegs appeared, the 1964 Hollywood Bowl became the star of the Beatles’ live sound sources. If you can listen to the 1964 American tour of enthusiasm and excitement with the best sound board recording, there is no way it will not get a good reputation. The trigger was an acetate version of the monaural mix that was made as a whole album release in 1964. That leaks and becomes the source of the bootleg. According to a specialized magazine, there are two types of ancestor titles for Hollywood Bowl items, the first being an LP with a stamp cover called “THE ONLY LIVE RECORDING”. And the other one is this time’s “BACK IN 1964 AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL”. It’s unfortunate that both boots caused some skipping when playing the acetate and creating an LP master, but in this case, there was a big skipping during the opening “Twist And Shout” including the intro. It enters in two places, and also in “If I Fell” in two places. However, the sound quality itself is clearly higher than “THE ONLY LIVE RECORDING”. On the contrary, the quality of the earliest bootleg from 1970 is definitely at the highest level. In addition, the slick design featuring illustrations of the four Beatles is also attractive, and it is no wonder that it quickly gained the status of a classic Beatle boot. This is a high-grade item that has been carefully reproduced from the LP boot (original press of Lemon Records’ yellow label), which has been hailed as a masterpiece in terms of sound quality and packaging. Please enjoy the splendor of the entire live performance of the 1964 Hollywood Bowl and the dynamism unique to monaural music with this nostalgic LP! Lemon Records CSR-143 (28:48) Side A 1.
