Beatles/Tokyo,Japan 6.30.1966 Original Reel Tapes

The memorable live sound source of the Beatles’ first day of Japan performance has been digitized directly from the reel tape, which has never been available in the collector world. The provider was the person who recorded Mountain’s “Budokan 1973,” which was released last year and shocked enthusiasts (he apparently watched it in the same row as the late Mr. Ichiro Fukuda), who received this reel tape from the record company in the late 1970s. He inherited it and has kept it in storage without playing it until today. (A photo of the reel is shown on the inner jacket.) The outer case is “Memorex”, the tape is “Sony Type-7”, and “30H7477″ is stamped on the plastic guard of the reel. Ta. The tape itself was wrapped in special vinyl for storage, so it is in very good condition. The content is the same as the TV show sound source of the stage on June 30th, but it is a 29 minute 16 second take with the intro and outro of the performance host removed. The sound quality is very good, and even compared to the out-of-print official edition and the same content that is currently available as a bootleg, the calm, natural, yet thick sound texture is wonderful, and the originality of the sound quality. Having said that, I think it is one of the best materials at the moment. Although you can feel the slight deterioration of the sound over time, which is typical of old reel tapes, the freshness of the sound is outstanding, and even though it feels like it is “holding up somehow,” fans will not be able to resist its vintage texture. By the way, even compared to the audio of the DVD included with this title as reference material, the main disc is clearly superior in terms of texture and amount of information. There are also versions that have been equalized and the impression of the sound has completely changed, but I swear to you that if you are a self-proclaimed sound source collector, you won’t be able to hear anything that has been added to this disc. I think people like the sound without it. By the way, the sound trend is similar to the accompanying DVD, but even if you turn up the volume, it will not sound like this reel (this can be easily confirmed). , I don’t seem to remember anything other than that it was given to me by a record company staff member at the time, but I’m guessing that it was aired on TV in 1978 as “The Beatles’ Japan performance! The first and only rebroadcast of this century.” At that time, I recorded a take with only the audio on a reel and gave it to the provider for personal viewing, saying, “This is a live show that will be broadcast next time.” The tape is not the actual album. Is it? Therefore, although it is not something like a TV station’s storage reel or something fancy, it may be an episode that could have happened in an era when videotapes were not yet common. (The transfer of the tape may actually have happened long before the broadcast, but there is no way to know it now.) The footage is familiar from official videos and laser discs, and regarding this, I don’t think it’s necessary to go into detail here. The difference with the CD is that the host says, “We are the first Beatles in Japan.” and “With this, I would like to end the fun Beatles performance. See you again. Goodbye, good luck!” It has a familiar intro and outro. When I watch and listen to this, I am once again amazed at how good the sound of this reel disc is. It would be presumptuous of us to write anything about the world’s famous Beatles concert in Japan, but as written in the latest issue of Beatleg, “For some reason, on this day, the performance was lowered by a half step = a performance that didn’t feel very ambitious.” “Ringo is expressionless” “George is confused by the very quiet audience and sings while looking around the audience which is rare in If I Need Someone” “The lower tuning of Yesterday matches the song, making it a surprisingly soothing performance” “Day Tripper In the guitar solo, John gives a rough performance, but the performance itself is more energetic than the next day.” “Ringo misses the entrance during Nowhere Man, and the performance continues to be unstable.” “I’m confused by the problem with the microphone stand.” There are plenty of highlights unique to this day, both good and bad. However, in 1966, and moreover in the Far East performance, the fact that live shooting was done with such high quality multi-camera professional shots is a miracle not only in the history of Western music but also in modern history. Although the audio is familiar, it is the first reel tape sound source that can be enjoyed with a different feel, the same day video as reference material, and a set title that can be enjoyed by everyone from beginners to enthusiasts.
