Description
Among Jimi Hendrix’s unreleased soundboard recordings, the masterpiece “BERKELEY 1970 1ST SHOW” was rich in both sound quality and content. It has been sold out for a long time now, and the appearance of a second album like the masterpiece “COMPLETE WOODSTOCK 1969” has been long awaited. Since it was recorded on a multi-track recording with the assumption of an official release, the sound quality was excellent. However, since the original was a multi-track recording, if it was meticulously remixed using the latest AI technology, it should be reborn in a state that is even easier to listen to. Therefore, this time, the remix work that has been a great success in a series of Oasis releases is generously injected into this sound source. Of course, like “BERKELEY 1970 1ST SHOW” (hereinafter referred to as “already released”), the basis is the masterpiece “BERKELEY 1ST SHOW COMPLETE SOUNDBOARD” from the ATM series released by Jimi Hendrix’s fan circle. This is a cassette copy from a multi-track that was supposedly leaked when Alan Douglas, who was (literally) secretly involved in Jimi’s releases from the late 1970s to the 1980s, released a series of releases, and one enthusiast released it to the trader world. Therefore, the previously released version has proven that it was extremely high quality, but it was also a chronic problem of hiss noise due to being a cassette copy. Therefore, this time, the hiss noise components were removed in advance using the latest AI noise reduction technology, and then remastered and remixed. Of course, this is a different dimension from the unrefinedness that loses naturalness. From there, Jimi and the Cry of Love Band, aka Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox, were separated and a stereo mix was performed. Although the previously released version was a multi-track, it was in a rough mix before full-scale mixing, so the stereo separation was loose and the mono texture was strong. In this remix, the balance is changed to the current Jimi Hendrix official stereo image of “Jimi’s guitar = left, Billy’s bass = right, Jimi’s vocals and Mitch’s drums are in the center”. In the current mix of the official “IN THE WEST”, “Johnny B. Goode” from this day was heard with each sound being too clearly divided to the left and right, which even seemed to reduce the impact, but the momentum of the performance is conveyed incomparably. And yet the moderate sound spread is overwhelming. It has been promoted to a state that is no different from the 1969 LA Forum of the Experience, which was officially released two years ago. There is no sense of incongruity, and this is exactly what “official class” means! As “Johnny B. Goode” tells us, Jimi’s playing in this episode is really free-flowing. It’s hard to believe that there was a second show waiting. As you can see from the remaining footage of the same day, the first show reborn in this remix is ​​even more amazing. Moreover, the sound quality is impeccable. I can say with confidence that it is perfect for beginners to Jimi’s rare live recordings. The previously released recordings by Douglas have complicated rights, and as a result, even though the second show was officially released in 1970 at Berkeley, the first show has not yet been released… Such maniacs’ worries will end this week. Even the previously released version, which seemed to have such high sound quality, is almost mono compared to this magnificent finish. The first show at Berkeley, which has been a masterpiece and a classic among Jimi’s live recordings in his later years, has been reborn as a magnificent stereo version. Features of the sound source: Remixed based on the source of ATM, a group that excavates Jimi Hendrix recordings. The latest AI technology has been used to remove the hiss noise that was present in the previously released titles. The latest AI noise removal technology has completely eliminated the hiss noise, allowing for highly flexible remastering.・Drum 4 parts + other 3 parts (vocals, guitar, bass) + cheering components are demixed into a total of 8 tracks and then remixed. ・Because it is a trio arrangement, a stereo mix of musical sounds is realized on the same channel (L – guitar C – vocals, drums R – bass). ・A sound that does not feel strange even if it is released officially as it is is born.
