Paul McCartney/Osaka,Japan 1990 AUD Mike Recordings

This is a valuable sound source that can be said to be the ultimate maniac. It was an audience recording that was carried out at the venue where the closed circuit of the March 9th show was held. In terms of characteristics, it can be said to be similar to the sound source of the Rolling Stones’ 1995 Paradiso. The location is Suita Mei Shitar in Osaka. The recording seat is in the center of the 5th row on the second floor of the S seat, which is the perfect position for recording. In fact, the sound quality is stable throughout. Of course, it is the first appearance original live recording master provided by the recorder. From the beginning of the Grammy Award and the recording from the middle of Stevie Wonder’s “We Can Work It Out”, you can be sure that this is definitely a closed circuit venue. Naturally, no footage of the Grammy Awards will be shown inside the Tokyo Dome venue. The recording is a typical cassette recording and has a flimsy texture, but the sound coming from the venue’s speakers is captured with great balance, so it’s a quality that enthusiasts can easily enjoy. However, since the recording is a cassette, there are some defects, so the audio of the video (that is, monaural soundboard recording) is patched into these parts so that the performance can be heard completely. Of course, there is a professional shot video that can be seen in this release until the second half of the live performance, and in that respect it is true that it is for enthusiasts. However, it is interesting that the sound source was recorded in a situation that is more like a movie theater than in an environment different from a normal concert. Also, right after the screening starts, you can hear people clearing their throats right after the taper, but in 2020, it’s a sight that can be quite disappointing. In other words, I am ironically reminded that in 1990, people could innocently clear their throats in places where people gather (bitter smile). Regardless, the pro-shot video has a high value of being able to listen to “Let It Be” and beyond, which was cut off as soon as Paul started singing. In the past, there was already an edit that included the audio of the Tokyo Dome March 9th video and supplemented the missing parts with an audience recording from a similar closed circuit venue, but this is a different sound source. Also, this time it will be a valuable experience for enthusiasts to be able to listen to the entire sound source recorded at the venue. And on that day, the participants of the closed circuit saw Paul sing the song “P.S. Love Me Do” for the first time in the world without any instruments, just like a singer.What did the participants think of this scene? Did you see it? It’s fun to think about things like this. On the other hand, the exchange between Paul who got off the stage and the emotional interviewer was short but moving. This is the ultimate maniac sound source, and at the same time, there is no doubt that it is a very valuable sound source. In other words, it is an audience recording that captures the sound from the live broadcast venue.
