Pat Metheny Group Lyle Mays Pat Metheny Lyle Mays/FL,USA 1979 & more

This title is a coupling of rare soundboard live recordings of the Pat Metheny Group by the early members. Two discs, one performance each, both of which have only recently been released (as of July 2024). Although they are soundboard recordings, the master tapes from 1979 each had some drawbacks. Nevertheless, corrections were made by overseas collectors when they were digitized, making them quite good. This work is a further upgrade, remastering them. The sound source on Disc 1 has been adjusted as much as possible to correct the instability of the sound at the beginning, and crack noise that may have been introduced during digitization has been removed. Disc 2 has reduced the strong hiss noise and improved sound pressure.
