Pink Floyd/Italy 1971 & more Upgrade Dual Layer Version

An upper version of the Pompeii footage, which has not been upgraded in a long time, is now available with outstanding sound resolution and color sensitivity!! The remastered footage has been carefully examined and edited again, and the definitive version of the Pompeii footage is fully restored from the 1972 and 1974 released versions. has arrived from overseas!! The official DVD “LIVE AT POMPE II Director’s Cut Version” may be official, but you can’t help but feel a sense of discomfort and disbelief. Although there are some additional recordings in the interview scenes, the inclusion of cheap CG in the opening and ending scenes, and even in the performance scenes, is a plus, and the more you watch it, the more you realize that the reason why this work is a masterpiece lies in the original version. I’m sure there are still many fans who feel the pain. The Blu-ray version included in “The Early Years 1965-1972” also contains this edited version that was simply upconverted from SD quality to HD, making it a disappointing remaster. Considering the current situation where the official opinion is that the director’s cut version is now the final answer to this video, it is likely that the release will continue to focus only on the original version that fans most desire. It’s safe to assume that there isn’t. However, the latest 2020 upper version title, which deeply quenches the thirst for the two original versions and the thirst for knowledge, will be released for the first time in a long time as a 2-disc press DVD. This is a faithful restoration of the 1972 version and the 1974 theatrical release version to their originals, using video tapes and laser discs that are in excellent condition and carefully preserved by film collectors.The footage is a director’s cut. The original cut version, which is included as a bonus on the DVD, is pitch-adjusted and converted to 24p, and the color tone is reviewed again.The 1972 version is a monaural mix, and the 74 version is an excellent one, restored from the PCM digital track on the laser disc. You can enjoy two types of Pompeii footage that have been completely restored to their original versions with the best picture and sound quality. Another topic is that the top and bottom of the screen are not cropped because the video is recorded with an aspect ratio of 4:3 (*old TV screen), and the director’s cut version of the screen is forcibly cropped to a wide screen ratio. I’m also happy that there are no such things here. Furthermore, Disc 2, the 1974 release version, uses “DVD9 Dual Layer”, which allows for extra bit rate even for long videos, resulting in the ultimate quality in both image and sound quality, which is of course worth watching. It is also attractive as a collector’s item because of its high-spec luxury feel. Below is a quick introduction to the contents of each disc and its features. Disc 1 contains the original cut of Pompeii, the earliest edited version released in 1972, restored with the best image quality and sound in modern times. The audio uses a monaural mix that has not been officially released on DVD, with a very different mix for the intro, “Echoes,” “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun,” etc., and the opening and end credits are also in the original version. This is a great replacement. The base audio master is a rare Betamax version released in Japan, which has been newly captured using the fully restored masterpiece EDV-9000 and has been remastered in 2020. The main feature of the video itself is that the remastered source has been further tonal corrected to give it a remarkable upper-quality image, and what is especially surprising is the coloration of the skin, the blue of the sky, and the coloration of green and white. The clarity is very high and it is sharp, and the resolution is so high that it is hard to believe that it is the original cut video of that DVD remastered version. To give a few examples, for example, there is a scene in the middle of “Echoes 1” where the camera wraps around behind the band and slowly moves from right to left, but here the band is illuminated from the other side. The lighting color is sharper and more vivid than any previous version. In addition, even in scenes shot in dark surroundings, such as in “Careful With That Ax, Eugene” and “Mademoiselle Nobs,” the colors do not bleed or sink, and the colors appear with natural brightness and vividness. I’m sure you’ll be surprised too. Furthermore, it should be noted that in “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun”, the mural and light source (= lighting) are rendered pure white with high sensitivity resolution. Disc 2 is “DVD9 Dual Layer”, which is a defi-tive version aiming for the highest quality that is comparable to the official software. The 1974 version of Pompeii video is recorded here, and the audio is characterized by adopting the PCM digital track restored version of the laser disc. The stereo effect of this restored version is also tremendous, and the listening experience is appealing, with deep depth and three-dimensionality appearing in any scene. The official DVD version was remixed, and the drum sound was turned into pseudo-stereo, which was unpopular with fans. Of course, what you can listen to here is the original stereo mix. The image quality has also been improved by correcting the 4% faster pitch and converting it to 24p, and it is also a topic that it is an original video recorded with an aspect ratio of 4:3 without any top and bottom cuts due to ratio changes. Also, the 1974 version includes the familiar dining scene at Abbey Road Studios, interviews with the members, and songs from “Madness”, which was in the middle of production at the time, to “On The Run”, “Us And Them”, and “Blain Damage”. It also includes recording scenes that include this approach. This recording scene was restored from an overseas PAL version of VHS, but the tape was kept in good condition by a collector, and a top-of-the-line deck was used to capture the video, resulting in surprisingly vivid image quality. I’m also happy to be here. Additionally, Japanese subtitles can be turned on or off for this scene, and mistranslations in the LD version have been corrected. However, even so, the superb stereo feeling that can be experienced with the PCM audio of this DVD9 Dual Layer is surprising. For example, in “Careful With That Ax, Eugene,” the first half of Roger’s voice sobbing and groaning becomes much sharper and clearer, and in “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun,” You should be able to see that there is a deep and reliable response to the luster of the tone and the amplitude of the resonance. Also, the intro that appears from 0:00 to 1:50 in the opening was supplemented from the 4-channel mix version to ensure its integrity, and the end credits were also replaced with the original footage to restore it. Can’t miss it. The Pompeii video has been upgraded for a long time, so it has returned as a special video suitable for modern times.
