Description
The second JEFF BECK GROUP collapsed in the summer of 1972. The first complete live album containing that last show is now available. The last show is “July 23, 1972 London Performance”. It was a show at the famous venue “Roundhouse” that has created many legends. In fact, there are many unknowns in the records at that time, but there is no doubt that the final performance will be on this day. The group officially disbanded on July 24th the following day, with the comment, “We succeeded in merging the musical styles of the members.However, we were unable to create the powerful new music that they originally sought.” was announced (a few days later, on “August 1st”, they performed a show as the new JEFF BECK GROUP, which included Tim Bogart, Carmine Appice, and Kim Milford). It is a show the day before the dissolution declaration. [First-ever complete recording of the last night of the second period JBG] Such a show is also known for having a wonderful audience recording. Moreover, there are two, which is unusual for the early 70’s. One is a famous recording that has been known for a long time, such as “THE LAST EVER GIG”. The other one is our excavation disc “ROUNDHOUSE 1972 (Reel Masters-017)”. The former contained all the songs from that day, and the latter was recorded by the staff of a Japanese record company at the time, and was a wonderful masterpiece with a documentary feel. However, neither was perfect. “ROUNDHOUSE 1972” was missing three songs, “Got The Feeling,” “Let Me Love You,” and “Superstition,” and even in the former, some songs had cuts that seemed to be tape changes. It’s a miracle that two great recordings from 1972 still exist, but the show is so historic and wonderful that it’s a collector’s dream to listen to it in its entirety. It has become. This work is about making that dream a reality. It is a live album that connects two types of audience recordings and is not a “complete recording” but a “complete recording”. Of course, it is the highest ever not only in length but also in sound. The base is the finest master discovered by the prestigious “Kro_co”. You can hold all the songs with this alone, but I supplemented the gaps that occurred in “Going Down (about 3 seconds)” and “New Ways (about 40 seconds)” with the reel master of “ROUNDHOUSE 1972”. Moreover, this work has been refined with meticulous mastering of the top-of-the-line “Kro_co” master. In fact, although “Kro_co” is a prestigious excavation site, its policy seems to place emphasis on “the master’s truth.” Therefore, the deterioration is left as it is, and it is not uncommon for the pitch to be significantly out of order. This work corrects such “disorder of masters”. In terms of pitch, it accurately corrects deviations of 1% or less without missing them, and also corrects the phase. The historical and delicate sound of the original sound is not altered in any way, and there is no need to increase the sound pressure in any way. Of course, the connection to the reel master has been minimized to minimize discomfort, and you can listen to it with headphones. It’s finished to such a level of perfection that you can only feel as if the direction of the microphone has changed. If the policy of “Kro_co” is “Master’s truth”, then this work is a live album that focuses on reproducing “the truth on the spot”. [Historical live album with the highest level of sound] I was overwhelmed with emotion to see “The Last Night” revived at its highest peak and in its entirety. First of all, the sound is overwhelmingly better than “ROUNDHOUSE 1972”. “ROUNDHOUSE 1972” was by no means a bad recording, and the sound was excellent, especially after the fourth song “Definitely Maybe” on the day, but I couldn’t praise it in the early stages. Although it was clear, the balance was such that the high frequencies were audible, and the bass was also slightly distorted. Cozy Powell’s cymbal work was crisp, and Clive Chairman’s lines were fluffy and unclear. However, the main character of this work is the prestigious “Kro_co” master. Not only is it clear from high notes to deep bass, but its balance and direct feel are incomparable, and Bob Tench’s vocals are clearly vivid down to every single word of the lyrics. Of course, the selfish guitar of the main character, Jeff Beck, is also clear, swimming freely in the ensemble of masters without mixing. What is portrayed with that sound is the very last passionate performance. They even announced their disbandment the next day, and their performance is filled with the enthusiasm of “today being the last.” Speaking of the second season of JBG, the iconic soundboard upgrade version “BBC IN CONCERT” will be released at the same time this week, but this work will also show off “Jeff’s Boogie” and “Superstition” that can not be heard there. In particular, “Superstition” is truly the last number of the second season of JBG. You can experience the harsh live performance only once in history with the highest quality ever. As mentioned earlier, the disbandment was announced the day after this work, and the second season of JBG ended. We are entering a new era with Bogart & Apis. Unlike the first JBG, which connected CREAM and LED ZEPPELIN, and BB&A, which aimed for a straight hard rock sound, the second JEFF BECK GROUP created a unique sound with plenty of Motown flavor. The last night they arrived. ★Connecting two types of audience recordings to realize the first complete recording!
