Deep Purple/London,UK 1974 2Versions Directly Copied from BBC Transcription

The legendary broadcast was recorded at the “May 22, 1974 Kilburn Performance”. It is a stereo soundboard recording broadcast on the prestigious BBC’s famous program “In Concert”. As mentioned above, this sound source has been made into a work called “LIVE IN LONDON”, and the complete version was released in 2007. Although this work is the same show, it is not the commercialized version, but the original broadcast version. It is a masterpiece among masterpieces that was directly digitized from the actual BBC transcription disc that was said to be unavailable. Before the sound that interests you, first of all, the position of the show. After all, this work is the symbolic soundboard of the famous III period. It is a good opportunity to look back on the activity in a whole view of the three major (?) live albums. 1973 September: Phase III begins → November: Purple Flame complete December 9-17: Europe #1 (5 shows) 1974 January 20-26: Europe #2 (5 shows) February 15: Purple Flame released March 3-April 9: North America #1 (28 shows) ←※CALIFORNIA 74 ・April 18th-June 27th: UK (25 performances) ←★Here★ ・August 24th-30th: North America #2 (4 performances) 《September “Messenger of the Storm” completed》 ・September 18th-28th: ​​Europe #3 (9 performances) 《November 8th “Messenger of the Storm” released》 ・November 13th-December 17th: North America #3 (19 performances) 1975 ・January 25th: Melbourne performance 《March 14th “Conqueror of the Silver Mountains” completed》 ・March 16th-April 7th: Europe #4 (12 performances) ←※MADE IN EUROPE etc.《Ritchie Blackmore leaves the band》This is the journey from the birth to the collapse of the III period of DEEP PURPLE. The Kilburn performance in this work was a record of the “UK” leg, about three months after the release of “Purple Flame”. This broadcast version was once very popular as “True LIVE IN LONDON”. In the first place, the original “LIVE IN LONDON” was heavily processed when it was commercialized. Various edits were made, such as cutting the opening DJ and Glenn Hughes’ MC, changing the song order, and even overdubbing the finished product. The broadcast version was not processed in this way, and you can enjoy a real live performance as it was on site. However, with the release of the official complete version in 2007, such advantages became a thing of the past, but this work’s brilliance has not been lost. The biggest point is the natural sound. Although the official “LIVE IN LONDON” complete version is the longest version in terms of recording time, the sound is mastered in a flashy way. This tendency is seen throughout the official world, but especially in the 2000s, it was the height of the loudness war. Considering the entire scene, “LIVE IN LONDON” may have been better, but it couldn’t go against the trend of the time. In that respect, this work is super natural. This work is a coupling of two types of versions, the remastered version (DISC 1) and the natural transfer version (DISC 2), as in the original release, but even the remastered version (DISC 1) is much more natural than the official version. As for the natural version (DISC 2), it seems that the radio broadcast itself of that time is flowing out of the speaker beyond time and space. In fact, the sound is extremely rich. Despite the absence of the protruding feeling of digital processing, the fine details remain, so there is plenty of three-dimensionality, and the vividness and swelling of the contours are tremendous. And the density of the mid-range. It is “LIVE IN LONDON” where the freshness and glossiness of analog bleeds and overflows. No matter how analog it is, it alone cannot achieve such a sound. The key to this work is also the good condition of the master recording. I can’t go into too much detail, but it seems that the transcription disc on which this work was based was loaned to a Japanese broadcasting station by the original BBC. As for the official album, the best master has been loaned to Japan, and this disc was only played on the broadcast at that time. This transcription is probably the best sounding master in existence. This work is only the broadcast version, so there is no “Space Truckin'”. Therefore, now that the complete version exists, it cannot be said lightly that it is “beyond the official!”, but it exceeds the natural sound. The legendary BBC broadcast that conveyed the true value of the III period DEEP PURPLE to the world in an era when there was no “MADE IN EUROPE” yet. Please enjoy this work with the best transcription sound to the fullest. The best version of the legendary broadcast, which is also the origin of “LIVE IN LONDON”, has been released. It was awakened from the BBC transcription disc, and you can enjoy the great performance of the III period with a much more natural and rich sound than the official one.
