Led Zeppelin/Osaka,Japan 1971 New Transfer

Two OG reissue CDs have been released, one year ago and the other last, that have evolved to achieve true clarity (not digital cleanup). I thought that the release of “LIVE IN JAPAN 1971” last September was the true final destination, that nothing better could ever come out, could ever come out, and could never be released, but just the other day, a new 1ST ISSUE OG transfer was uploaded to the Internet. The provider (the person who uploaded it) added a short comment saying “After me clean up a record scratch noise dropped dramatically”, and what’s surprising is that there is not a single scratch noise. And the sound quality is ultra clear (not equalized, that beautiful natural sound of the first OG). That said, I thought the sound quality would not be much different from our September release last year, but the result of transferring the record from scratch, not copying it, is astonishing from an analog perspective. There are no partial skips or losses. The short description “OG Records (No equalizer)” is a sign of the provider’s confidence. However, although it says “Fixed in the pitch control and speed”, the sound quality and content are OK, but in reality the pitch is still randomly out of sync overall, and our professional mastering engineer has corrected all of it just right. The work comments are as follows. ★Fixed the random pitch out of sync. (% is approximate) Disc 1 Immigrant Song is correct at the beginning – Heartbreaker is 20% higher. Since I’ve Been Loving You is almost correct, Tangerine is slightly higher, and Moby Dick is 50% to 70% higher. Disc 2 Stairway To Heaven is correct from the beginning 30% to the end, slightly higher from Celebration Day, and 60% higher towards the end of the disc. So, the new best of the best classic masterpiece “LIVE IN JAPAN 1971”. Good things are good to listen to no matter how many times you listen to them. Or rather, it’s a must-have for anyone who wants to spend the rest of their life listening to only good things over and over again! ★The following is the description from our store’s release of the OG reissue late-release version last September. It’s a useful and wonderful explanation that explains the situation so far and the history of the OG sound source, so we’re republishing it here. We will also be re-releasing the classic masterpiece “LIVE IN JAPAN 1971”, which is a reissue of the OG LP. Not only is it an LP item sent out from Japan, but it has great historical value as the first 929 soundboard recording item on the planet. Not only that, but isn’t it really interesting that this OG LP itself has produced different versions? Moreover, as you can see from the fact that a copy of “A CELLARFUL OF NOISE” was produced in the United States, it had gained status from an early stage. On the other hand, the contents engraved on the OG Gohonzon changed every time it was pressed several times. In particular, it is a very famous episode that the first pressing of the red label was pressed with the pitch out of whack due to the difference in voltage between the Kanto and Kansai regions. Even with these issues aside, the freshness of the first press is exceptional, and it has now been promoted to a more highly rated vintage item than the second press, which was recorded with accurate pitch. In the first place, the reputation of the OG label itself has been rising rapidly among enthusiasts in recent years, but in light of this situation, OG’s reputation as the best item released has become unshakable, even more so than “LIVE IN JAPAN,” which was the first release of the first day of the Beatles’ Budokan performance. It must be said that this was largely due to the fact that the sound quality of the 929 soundboard recording was so poor since the CD era began. It is true that the excavation of the sound source was progressing until the end of the live performance, but. However, compared to the sound quality of the original LP, the difference between the CD items that were on the market in the past, especially those produced in the 1990s, was too large. This is obvious when you compare it with this item that will be re-released this time. Although it is a sound source with hiss noise originally, I can’t forget that it sounded like a hiss on the LP, but the sound of the CD items blew out like a “zaa” or “go”, which was difficult to hear. In the more recently released items, it has returned to a much more hiss-like state, but as I have repeated many times, it cannot reach the clarity of the LP. After all, the OG version, which contains the fresh master tape from 1971 as it is, is truly great. That is why it is called an immortal masterpiece. It is no exaggeration to say that it is now a charismatic OG original mega rare item, “LIVE IN JAPAN 1971”, which has become a first press LP with the biggest problem of large pitch deviation, and it has been released. Maniacs jumped on it as if they had been waiting for it, and it was sold out in no time. It is convenient to be able to easily enjoy the style and flavor of the original LP, which was the source of all 929 items, on CD. So this re-release is different from the Winston Remaster “929” re-release, but please consider that this is completely different from the previous version. The reason is that the previous release was based on what appeared on the Internet after the problems with the first press of “LIVE IN JAPAN 1971” had been resolved, but this time the mint condition LP of the first press that was provided again has been carefully converted to CD. As a result, the scratch noises scattered throughout the album have been completely eliminated and the album has been upgraded to a clear state. This alone makes the difference in listening clear, but it doesn’t stop there. By using a board in better condition as a base, the clarity feels as if a thin layer has been removed compared to the previous release, and above all, there is no weak skipping at the beginning of “Communication Breakdown”. And the acoustic corner, which was originally a point where the pitch was prone to go out of sync on the 929 soundboard. In addition, the guitar tuning was lowered by a semitone, so the pitch of “Tangerine” was overlooked last time, but this time it has been accurately adjusted, and it is an undisputed upper version release that has evolved from a simple reissue. Please enjoy the wonderfulness of the first pressing of “LIVE IN JAPAN 1971” that is finally easier to listen to!
