Pink Floyd/London,UK 1972 3Source Mix

The eternal must-have item “THE BEST OF TOUR 72″, which includes Pink Floyd’s famous Rainbow Theater performance on February 20, 1972, has arrived in its ultimate final evolution!!! It brings an end to the history of mixed stones that continued for many years. Introducing the absolute definitive album that everyone who hears it can intuit as a new standard for the world!! “In the end, which one is the best?” For us as a label, these words from fans are honestly painful. Thing. However, it can be said that the shop and label’s eternal mission is to gently present the ultimate piece to those hesitations. Floyd’s performance in London, UK on February 20, 1972 was also such a sound source, and if you are an unofficial sound source fan, the famous LP “THE BEST OF TOUR 72”, which is familiar with the jacket of Parent and Child Pig, must come to mind. This high-quality stereo source (Recorder 1) recorded by Derek A does not have “PINK FLOYD LIVE” written on the front jacket, but the label side is dark blue with “Tour 72 We did it for you” written on it. was a complete first press LP, and due to its wonderful content, it became so popular that famous labels such as TSP’s marble color and translucent color vinyl, and TAKRL’s “In Celebration Of The Comet” all copied it, and the CD It is well known that many labels continued to release this famous recording as a new version even in this era. Fortunately, there were also Recorder 2 by Steve B and Recorder 3 by master John Baxter on this day, and Floyd played all the songs of the amazing prototype version of Dark Side that night, followed by The entire story of the second part of the show has been passed down to posterity. However, all three of these recordings are famous for having some kind of drawback, and although the familiar Recorder 1 boasts the best sound quality, it contains some cuts from the first part of the show, the prototype version of “Madness”. It only saw the light of day in a certain state, and according to Neonknight’s investigation, Derek’s home was burglarized and the master tape of this performance was also stolen, so the tape source of Rec 1 has been lost forever. . Recorder 2 has better than average sound quality (although not as good as Recorder 1) and records the show to the end, but there are noticeable missing scenes due to on/off between songs, and Recorder 3 has no cuts between songs, but Recorder 1 Each recording had some drawbacks, such as the sound quality being slightly inferior compared to 2 and 2. For this reason, in the past there were titles that attempted to create full-length versions by blending Recorder 2 and 3, but these also suffered from sound quality problems such as rough mixes and combining sources with inferior sound. There were a lot of things, and I think the “best” in the title was mostly just in name. Isn’t it possible that this factor was due to the sweetness of the stuffing? For example, there were many versions of the LP “THE BEST OF TOUR 72” as mentioned above, and how many of them were particular about the selection of the disc used and the playback environment when transferring? Even for Recorders 2 and 3, it is questionable how much they listened to and compared multiple identical sources before making their selections, and it is possible that the producers used records that happened to be on hand or sources that were easily available. Sex cannot be denied. So we decided to take on the name of a Floyd specialty label and tackled this problem head-on. We collected a number of sources with varying sound quality and recording time, compared and scrutinized them, and used the best selected sources to create the “Supreme THE BEST OF TOUR 72.” The result is a higher quality than originally expected, and is the ideal and ultimate standard title that will make beginners call it the Best of Best, and fans of old, unofficial sound sources will say, “This is Definitive!!” It has come true. The carefully selected contents and sound quality are truly “THE BEST OF TOUR 72”. It boasts a high level of advantage that is fundamentally different from many previously released records. Let me introduce the details. Recorder 1 / Derek A Recording: “THE BEST OF TOUR 72” 1st press LP (* Neonknight public version. 1st press mint condition record played and digitally transferred on an audio system costing more than 2 million yen. Amazing special grade. Sound quality) Recorder 2 / Steve B recording: 1st Gen (* New upgrade source for 2020 version. The particularly fresh 1st Gen has been selected and remastered, boasting the freshest sound in Rec 2 history until the end of the show. ) Recorder 3 / John Baxter recording: 1st Gen (* New upgrade source for 2020 version. 1st Gen source that has undergone the latest remastering and restoration in 2020, and has significantly improved the image of Rec3.)… All of them are the best・There are fascinating upper sources made up of the best of the best sources, but the one that stands out the most is Recorder 1’s Neonknight public version source. According to the information on the equipment used: * Clear Audio Innovation Compact * Clear Audio Stradivari V2 cartridge * Clear Audio Tangential tone arm TT3 * Leema Acoustics – Tucana II * Pro-Ject Audio Phono Box RS * The Chord Company, Sarum Super Aray RCA cable * Sigma , IsoTek EVO3…and an audio system that costs more than 2 million yen in total in Japanese yen, he transferred his precious 1st album, which is typical of a modern top taper, and his thoroughness is alive and well here as an unparalleled special sound. , The first part of the show, based on this, is an advantage unique to this latest work. We also have Recorder 2 and 3 to back this up, which are the 1st Gen gems that have been carefully examined and refined, but here you should pay attention to the new sound image of Recorder 3. This is mainly used as a supplement for the 1st edition of Recorder 1 = THE BEST OF TOUR72, but the sound quality has improved to the extent that it can fulfill the heavy responsibility of supporting the sound played on a system costing more than 2 million yen. It has a new meaning, and in fact it has been revived with a sound that is wasteful as a supplement. And since this work is the “longest version ever” that uses all the existing sounds and scenes in their best sound, the sense of completeness has reached the ultimate level!!Introduction “Speak To Me” uses Recorder 3, which has a dazzling improvement in sound quality, and gives you a vivid on-site feel and a complete feeling from the beginning. This is succeeded by “Breathe”, which uses the highest quality sound source transferred with an audio system costing more than 2 million yen, and even those who have listened to Rec 1 many times will be enveloped in dazzling ecstasy with its divine sound image. , you will be shocked by the power of the sound emitted. “The Travel Sequence” also shows the granularity of the hi-hat and the guitar in amazingly high resolution, and the appearance of Gilmore tuning at the beginning of “Time” comes out with an unprecedented level of precision. . The missing sound from 3:36 to 56 is perfectly compensated with Rec 3, so the sense of seamlessness and completeness is not lost, and the closeness and amplitude of the sound comes out in the strongest form ever.4: The guitar sound from 23 will shock you with its amazing texture, so much so that you can almost feel the waves of sound. In “Money,” pay attention to the high resolution of each instrument and the thick feel of the midrange.The closeness of the guitar in the front and the rhythm in the back are fused into an ideal sound image, making it the ultimate sound to listen to on two channels. There is a figure that can be said. “BrainDamage” also has a glossy arpeggio with rich amplitude and reverberations of damp tones that resonate in the most transparent sound image, and “Eclipse” also compensates for the situation from 1:11 onward that was cut off with Rec 1 until the end with Rec 3. , the final part of the first part, which is unique to the 1972 prototype period, is concluded with a long descending sound, and is captured in its best form. From “One Of These Days”, which begins the second part, the 2020 version of Recorder 2, which has also been dramatically upgraded this time, will be the main sound source. The range has expanded and the clarity has improved compared to any Rec 2 that I have listened to in the past, and by supplementing the Recorder 3, we have been able to completely record the long tuning that lasts about 3 minutes after the performance without any discomfort. Masu. “Careful With That Ax, Eugene” will also allow you to feel the increased clarity and range expansion from Roger’s song introduction before the performance. The sharpness of the cymbals and the increased elasticity of the tom hitting sounds are much clearer than the old Rec2, and you can feel that the accuracy of the sound has greatly improved in the ensemble that increases the noisy feeling after the scream. It should be. Also, after the end of the song, the section from 11:25 to the end of the disc (*11:39) is supplemented with Recorder 3, but even though it is only 14 seconds long, the existing cheering scene is used up in the correct time axis and position. I am. Disc 2 “Echoes” also uses Recorder 3 to fill in the sections before and after the performance where no scene remained, restoring the integrity of the scene. The hiss noise of the Recorder 2 itself has also been significantly reduced, bringing out next-level precision in the previously lumpy sound, and the clarity and clarity of the sound without hiss is exquisite. Even after the end of the performance, with Rec 2 alone, the recording was cut off a few seconds after the MC of “Thank you, Good Night”, but this also was supplemented with Rec 3, making the recording even more complete. . “A Saucerful Of Secrets” has improved the resolution and clarity of the strange single notes that overlap in layers in the early part, and the middle part where the sound is crushed and the muddy feeling is noticeable (*After 4:04 when the drums come in) ) has also been greatly improved, and the powerful sound heat radiation unique to this day will evoke new excitement. “Blues” also has rich harmonies with an improved mid-to-low range, which overturns the image of a sound where only the strumming guitar could be heard, and “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun” Then, that mysterious intersection of sounds that can be heard in the middle development section (*6:41~), which is unique to this day, appears with even higher purity of sound, and you should be able to strongly feel the best listening response in Rec2 history. Since it is a sound source with a long history, I think that if you are a fan, you will have come across it twice or thrice at some point on some previously released records. In other words, the titles of this day have a history of being released randomly, and it can be said that there were many mixed titles. However, the realization of the ultimate high-quality standard edition marks the end of that history. This is the final evolution of “THE BEST OF TOUR 72”, a new work that will make you wonder, “Which one is the best after all?”!! (Overview of work and sources) 3 recording sources use.
