Pink Floyd/Italy 6.20.1971 Original Analogue LP

For old fans, speaking of Pink Floyd’s 1971 Rome performance, it must be “ROME 20-6-1971”. Until the mid-1980s, it was a title that was relatively easy to find in shops, but now it is a rare and difficult-to-find title. There are many scenes that have been cut due to the recording time of the LP version, and although the overall sound quality has passed the baton to the new generation of “Rome 1971”, on the other hand, there are some differences that are unique to the analog version. It is also true that the richness of the volume is unique to this disc. In addition, in terms of “clearness and sharpness of the treble range”, it is by no means inferior to the core source used for “Rome 1971” (*In fact, it is superior in many areas), and its value is still unwavering. Even if a new source has appeared, if we write down the charm of the original that still stands out, the first thing that stands out is the guitar part of “Atom Heart Mother”. In particular, the solos that develop from 3:55 and 11:21 are clearer and more powerful than the main press version, and the fact that the organ also has a more vivid and sharp sound is worth mentioning. . On the other hand, “Fat Old Sun” feels unsatisfactory in quality due to the muddy feeling in the bass range and some sound shaking/cracking, but even here, the clarity of the high range (※ Guitar and organ, again) makes up for it. Even when I listen to it now, I’m still amazed at how the song’s romantic floating feeling and lingering sound are preserved. Although The Embryo is inferior to this new source in terms of a total sound image, this source is better in terms of “direct sound impact” and its strength is that there is no tape hiss. The new source has a clear mid-to-low range and a rich elasticity, but it lacks the explosive feel of the high range, and it also contains a certain amount of hiss. However, on the other hand, the new source has the advantage of being completely recorded up to the announcement after the end of the song, so it might be a good idea to check which one is better for you with this work. “The Return Of The Sons Of Nothing” often has a metallic sound, but its greatest strength is that there is no hiss. There is no sound dropout in the left channel that exists for a moment at 22:35 in the new source, and it is surprising that the early take of “Echoes” with significantly different lyrics was recorded with such excellent sound quality in the LP era. I’m sure you’ll be surprised once again. The 1971 Rome performance was finally made into a record with the appearance of a new source. In other words, this means that we have a guideline for the 21st century sound of this sound source. And if that’s the case, isn’t it necessary to listen to the sound of this nostalgic LP again now? This is because knowing once again the potential of the original that has been loved for a long time can also be said to accurately grasp the potential and position of the new source. Also, even though new sources have appeared, I think there are still strong fans who want to experience this Rome performance with the sound of this LP. This edition, which has been reprinted from the mint-quality original using Sigma’s latest equipment and the skill of skilled engineers, has a direct transfer that more than meets expectations, so you can enjoy a deep encounter with that nostalgic sound. You will enjoy it. Live at Palaeur, Rome, Italy 20th June 1971 Taken from the original analogue bootleg LP “ROME 20-6-1971” Disc 1(50:26) 1. Atom Heart Mother 2. Soundcheck 3.
