Beatles/Tokyo,Japan 7.1.1966 Original Cassette Tape Recording

Contains the afternoon session of the Beatles’ second Japan performance, July 1, 1966, in Tokyo. Disc 1 contains a CDR that directly records the master cassette (FujiOn Cassette FD C-60, photo shown on the inner jacket) from the same sound source provider as “BUDOKAN 30.6.1966 REEL RECORDINGS”, and disc 2 contains it for reference. , contains footage spliced ​​together from several familiar sources that have been circulating in recent years. The main thing is, of course, the audio source recorded on Disc 1. There was a correction in the previous explanation of “BUDOKAN 30.6.1966 REEL RECORDINGS”, and the reel used was received from “Nippon TV station staff” instead of “from the record company”. Also, since the time when I received it was before the Mountain performance, it would have been before August 1973, so I will also correct this. When an enthusiast checked the waveform of the sound source of “BUDOKAN 30.6.1966 REEL RECORDINGS” on a computer, he reported a mysterious result: “It is not a copy from the video.” It is noticeable in the first intro of Rock And Roll Music that the balance of the cheers when the performance begins is intentionally manipulated in the video, but the reel take progresses without change. That’s a really strange master. The donor’s memory of this cassette master is even vaguer than that of the reel, and it was handed over to him in the first half of 1970. What surprises me when I play it back is that at the beginning, during the MC part of the host, you can hear something that sounds like microphone noise. (There are similar parts in the MC between songs) The sound image is quite different, so I thought it was a copy from the ambient microphone master, but even though the recorded sound is the same, the texture is quite different. Probably in the early 1970s, the provider made a request to an acquaintance at the Nippon Television station saying, “I’d like to hear the Beatles live in Tokyo. Are there any?” The station somehow copied the reel and cassette. It is presumed that it is. This is also the case with this take, but like the previous work, the host’s comments are roughly cut in and out, and the tape creator says, “I don’t know where to start and how far I should copy. It’s probably something that was dubbed “That’s fine.” It seems that the provider did not recognize that the reel, including the reel mentioned above, was a “valuable item”, and simply received the live tape of the Beatles’ performance in Japan, but he hardly played it and left it as is. As you know, on July 1st from the Beatles’ Japan performance, the take of the afternoon session of the Tokyo performance was broadcast as a one-hour program from 9:00 pm on the same day, and this is the first music program to be broadcast in color in the history of Japanese television. The viewer rating was 56.5%, which is still the highest viewer rating record for a special program in Japan as of September 2007 (sorry, Wikipedia). The Beatles took the master with them, and it is said that it is still under Apple’s control. The sound this time is not as organized as the video, and the sound quality lacks clarity and gives the impression that it lacks a sense of scale, but the freshness of the sound is good, and there is no hiss that is typical of video, and it is like It is a sound image as if you were listening to an audience recording at the time. Since it is recorded uncut with a single master, it may be that the 1966 TV broadcast take was played at the broadcast station and recorded with a microphone, but this is all speculation. In any case, there is no doubt that it is a mysterious piece that cannot be resisted by core Beatles fans, just like last time. Since the performance will also include television broadcasting, it is showing off a more ambitious performance than the previous day, and Rock And Roll Music is regular tuning, giving a light impression. After Yesterday, you can listen to Paul’s first Japanese MC “Domo, Enigato”. You can also enjoy the fact that the apple that he had been hitting on the top of the Buddha the day before was inspired to hit it (this is noticeable in the video). Just like the previous work, this is a piece that is sure to become a hot topic among fans.
