Description
“STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER” is an LP that can be described as “an ancient masterpiece”. This masterpiece was released by the prestigious label that later released “NOT FOR SALE” and Paul’s “COLD CUTS” under the label name “NEMS.” The beauty of the jacket had previously been demonstrated through the release of legendary masterpieces such as “COLLECTOR’S ITEMS” and “CASUALITIES,” but another big attraction was that this wonderful psychedelic feel matched perfectly with the recorded content. did. In the mid-1980s, this label called NEMS was promoted to the position of completely leading the American Beatle boot world, but at the time when “STAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER” (hereinafter referred to as “SFF”) was released. It was an unfortunate release, as it coincided with the boot crackdown, and very few early presses made it to Japan. As a result, Japanese-made copy discs with printed matrices became rampant, but ironically, there are probably many people in Japan who have benefited from “SFF” thanks to the counterfeits. The centerpiece of the album is an acetate of the early version of the title song that was discovered at the time (before it was later combined with another take), and the rest is a collection of rare sound sources from 1967 to 1968 with great taste. The good cohesion and overall sound quality were also appealing. As evidence of its status as a masterpiece, several CD versions of the LP “SFF” have been released even after the CD era began. The Condor version is probably best known, but a CD version was also released on the label FAB 4 RECORDS. What they all have in common is that they did not drop them straight from the original LP, but instead replaced them with the newly released upper version sound source. That would be fine, but it is true that due to the recording time of the CD medium, the content did not remain in the original LP format. Therefore, Lord Reith created a new “SFF” that respected the original LP format, but replaced it with an upper version sound source. In other words, the content is not expanded unnecessarily by inserting unnecessary sound sources, and can be enjoyed as an upper version of an ancient masterpiece. For example, “Hey Jude” and the theme from the previous Frost show (credited as “Tea Room Music” on the LP). These are the audio from the music video, but by the time the Lord Reith version was made, the highest quality sound source called “1+” had been released, so replacing it with that made it the best version. On the other hand, the LP “SFF” itself was also copied from the old “INDIAN ROPE TRICK”, such as “Thank You Guru Dai – Happy Birthday” in India, or “Peace Of Mind”, which is famous as a fake Beatles song from the LP era. I think enthusiasts will like that things like this are recorded honestly and clearly from the original LP. And although the Lord Reith release seems to be widely available on the internet, this work did not attract much attention because it was a reprint of an ancient boot, and the file is now difficult to obtain. This item is not only the best CD version of a masterpiece, but also a valuable piece of unknown Lord Reith works! THE BEATLES – STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER (RECREATION) (43:39) 1.
