Description
Among the many ZEP live sound sources, there are some that have existed for a long time, but the sound quality is so poor that they are only available among traders and have never been released. A typical example is an audience recording from the 1972 American tour. It has been circulating for many years as a capture of the performance at the Philadelphia Spectrum on June 13th, but not only was the recording monaural, but the sound quality itself was too bad. The sound source was actually introduced in specialized books, but the sound quality was said to be very poor. However, at the end of last year, an upper version of the sound source like “Fumie” that was released in America in 1972 suddenly appeared. It is said to have been owned by a maniac who calls himself sean_the_bootlegger, and like the previous versions, the exact generation is unknown, but the sound quality has been significantly improved. The past versions were at a level where you could barely hear them playing the songs, but this time they have successfully escaped from such rough conditions. The quality has improved to the extent that you can even feel the freshness of the tape and the splendor of the performance content. Even so, it is still a monaural audience with rough sound quality, and the sound quality of the part until the end of the guitar solo in the first “Heartbreaker” is harsh. However, this time, the feeling of an upper that instantly improves the view once that is over stands out. As a result, Robert’s MC was able to be heard, although it was still unclear, and an overseas enthusiast who analyzed it came up with the opinion, “Isn’t it actually Buffalo on the 10th, not Philadelphia Spectrum?” Ta. The sound source for the 10th has not been excavated until now, and this analysis has made the buffalo line stronger. However, although this opinion is currently lacking in conclusiveness, the Philadelphia Spectrum sound source has been unearthed on fan sites, etc., and the sound source this time has been updated to be Buffalo. Also, regarding the performance position of “Bring It On Home” based on the cut points between songs, we cannot exclude the possibility that the historical investigation of “CARDIFF 1972 2ND NIGHT”, which is considered to have been played as the finale, is correct. In any case, this time we will release the much-talked-about upper version, but since the pitch had already been adjusted when it appeared on the internet, we only increased the volume level for this release. The small noises that can be seen in the latter half of each disc were originally mixed in. And with the release of this upper version, I think the greatest benefit is that we can now enjoy the splendor of the performance, which was very difficult to convey until now. In “Bring It On Home,” there is a thrilling development in which Jimmy, from his session man days, begins to play the riff of Them’s “Baby Please Don’t Go,” for which he played lead guitar. Heaven” guitar solo phrases are also different from usual. What’s more, before starting “Moby Dick”, Robert praises Bonzo as “a good friend…a great musician”, and there’s even a rare scene where Bonzo screams “Bullshit!” into the microphone. In fact, even on fan sites, this upper has been described as “A really good, highly spirited show”, and it’s been talked about by enthusiasts all over the world since 1972 in Philadelphia… Be sure to try the upper version of Motoi Buffalo! At first, I’m surprised at how bad the sound is, but it’s a surprisingly listenable album. A must-listen/must-have upper edition for enthusiasts!
