Jethro Tull/CA,USA 1980 Upgrade

The “A” era began as Ian Anderson’s solo career, welcoming Eddie Jobson after U.K. disbanded. A valuable stereo soundboard album that conveys the singularity of that era is now available. This work includes “November 12, 1980 Los Angeles Performance”. This is the best stereo soundboard recording. This show was also featured in the official video “SLIP STREAM”, and the FM sound board has been widely known for a long time. However, this work is not a copy or remastered reissue of an already released version, but a new master that was recently discovered and is being talked about as “updating the highest quality!?” Before we get into the details, let’s start with the show’s position. Let’s check out the overall picture of the one and only “’A’ TOUR” in which Jobson and Mark Craney participated. ●1980《August 29th release》・October 4th – November 12th: North America (36 performances)←★Here★・November 20th + 21st: London (2 performances)●1981・February 1st-24th: Europe (22 performances) [Eddie Jobson/Mark Craney leave] This is a panoramic view of the Jobson/Craney era. Roughly speaking, 1980 was North America and 1981 was Europe. The Los Angeles performance of this work was the final day of such a “North American” leg. Now, onto the main topic. As mentioned above, it is a classic that has a large number of official videos and air checks, but Honsaku is the ultimate among them. It is the pre-broadcast master of the ABC radio program “A NIGHT ON THE ROAD” announced by the prestigious excavation “Krw_co”. Pre-FM masters are generally created from broadcast master LPs, but this work is even more amazing than that. It is digitized directly from the reel master before producing the master LP. In other words, it is a new discovery called “pre-master” rather than “pre-FM”. In fact, this work proves its origin with sound. A DJ has also entered, and although it has been edited into a broadcast time frame of about 1 hour, the sound easily surpasses that of previous releases. The already released group (good ones) has been said to be official grade, but this work is even fresher, with no distortion and no dubbing marks. Each bass note is beautifully drawn from start to finish without being crushed, and the guitar is as realistic as the vibration level of the strings. Even more surprising is the high pitched sound. It’s beautiful and stretches forever. Even when compared to the master, which has traditionally been said to be the best, the vividness of the contours and three-dimensionality have been overwhelmingly improved, despite the natural feel of non-remastering. This upgrade is easier to understand if you imagine it as an official high-quality CD rather than a bootleg. Since the late 1990s, when the production of CDs of past works had stopped, high-quality CDs that claimed to have “master sound” appeared, but the sound of this work also has a dimension of “how to faithfully digitize the sound of the master tape.” Of things. It is a sound world that is unique to the “pre-master” that surpasses the official grade FM sound board. The show drawn with such a supreme sound is the truth of “’A’ TOUR” which is too special in the entire history of JUTHRO TULL. First, let’s organize the set. ●WAR CHILD (2 songs)・Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day, Bungle In The Jungle ●SONGS FROM THE WOOD (2 songs)・Songs From The Wood, Hunting Girl ●A (3 songs)・Black Sunday, Crossfire, The Pine Marten’s Jig ●Others (2 songs) Aqualung (AQUALUNG), Heavy Horses (HEAVY HORSES)… and so on. Actually, this work is not a complete version because it is for broadcasting “A NIGHT ON THE ROAD”, but it still includes songs such as “Crossfire”, “Hunting Girl”, and “The Pine Marten’s Jig” that cannot be heard even in the official video “SLIPSTREAM”. “Bungle In The Jungle” is also included, and in the second half you can enjoy each member’s solo time. The three works, “WAR CHILD,” “SONGS FROM THE WOOD,” and “A” have a powerful rock taste, and the “A” numbers are all valuable. In particular, “Crossfire” is a delicious song unique to that time. An ensemble is more than a set. Eddie Jobson is already in full swing! It’s vivid even when played on the keyboard, and the violin dances as well. In particular, the violin is on par with Ian Anderson’s flute, and in the masterpiece “Heavy Horses” he is very much like the original Darryl Way. Although it was a lineup that ended in a short period of time, if they continued like this… if they had started with the flute and violin duo earlier, they would have become a symbol of progressive rock, surpassing even YES and KING CRIMSON… …It is a show that stirs up even wild delusions. This is a completely official ultra-superior stereo soundboard album that conveys the true value of the singularity “A” era of JETHRO TULL history with reel sound. Although it was short, it is a great masterpiece that allows you to thoroughly enjoy the gorgeous ensemble.
