Description
Contains the latest ultra high-quality sound items released by the fan-based Floyd specialty label “Harvested”. Contains live recordings from November 21, the first day of the 1970 Montreux Jazz Festival, said to have been recorded by a taper named “Victor” who was published on a torrent site at the end of 2009 and stunned Floyd collectors around the world. It was initially introduced on the Internet as a new sound source released on November 22nd (the second day of Montreux), and it was such a top-grade item that it caused a bit of panic among Floyd fans due to its high quality. However, later verification by online enthusiasts revealed that all of the songs, except for the last track, Interstellar Overdrive, were taken from the first performance in Montreux on November 21st. (Taper was said to have recorded the show on a reel deck for both nights, but the playback device later broke and it was not possible to transfer all of it, resulting in the performance dates of each track becoming vague.) ) As a result of the research of avid Floyd enthusiasts, the standard sound source “Smoking Blues” that appeared in 1995, Embryo, Just Another Twelve Bar, More Blues, was a copy version of this Victor take. (Actually, the Victor version has better sound and a longer recording time, so it seems that “Smoking Blues” was mastered using a tape copy from a generation later.), and for a long time it was believed that it was taken the next day on the 22nd. It turns out that “The Good…The Bad,” which has been widely used to date, was actually the first-day sound source, and the appearance of this Victor sound source is extremely important, completely overturning the commonly held opinion of the Montreux 70-year sound source. It was a great discovery. In 2010, the original “Victor sound source” was released by Sigma under the title “Victor’s Montreux” with pitch and noise correction, and it has been well received as a must-have for Floyd fans. However, at the end of 2010, “Harvested” suddenly announced the final version of this take, “Too Late For Mind Expanding”, and stunned maniacs all over the world again. The “Victor Sound Source” released at the end of 2009 has an ultra-high quality sound that sounds as if it was recorded with a modern DAT, but it has many pitch and noise problems, perhaps due to the characteristics of reel tape, especially Fat Old Sun. , Atom Heart Mother, A Saucerful Of Secrets, etc. had a problem where the speed gradually slowed down from the middle of the song. In “Too Late For Mind Expanding”, they are firmly pitch-corrected for every song, just like the previously released Sigma version “Victor’s Montreux”. “Victor’s Montreux” was created with the aim of letting you hear “Victor’s sound source” purely as it is, with only pitch and noise correction, but this Harvested version “Too Late For Mind Expanding” By supplementing multiple cut parts from other sound sources, we have created a definitive version of “November 21st” with a higher degree of perfection, as the name suggests. The restoration was attempted for a very long time and with advanced technology, and the beginning of Fat Old Sun, which started off with a shaky feeling, and the first two minutes of Cymbaline, which had a sluggish playback due to tape deterioration (to be exact, 140 (Each drop of the part is carefully processed), the 6:27 noise of Atom Heart Mother is supplemented, and the middle cut of A Saucerful Of Secrets is supplemented from another show. Even more amazing is the ending after Green Is The Color 3:20, which was missing in the original sound, Careful With That Ax, Eugene in its entirety, and the beginning 30 seconds of Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, this part was recorded on the same day. It is supplemented beautifully from the sound source “The Good… The Bad”, and although the sound quality drops in this part, the sound quality is still listenable enough, so you can easily listen to this day’s live at once. The overall sound impression, loudness, and scale have been further upgraded, and the unstable feeling of the LR channel that was so frequent is no longer a problem. You can enjoy “Version”. It is a take that was cheered through a truly daunting process, and since it can be heard with such perfect sound quality and form, it can be said to be the ultimate “Montreux sound source” for fans. It was created with the concept of “the definitive edition of the first day”, so Interstellar Overdrive, the only take from Victor’s sound source the next day, has been deliberately left unrecorded (it is included in “Victor’s Montreux”). It is a masterpiece and workmanship that can be said to be a rare Floyd live album with a high level of quality, and is a must-listen for fans. Recording time is 2 hours and 14 minutes. This is one of the pinnacle of Floyd’s live CDs, and we hope that collectors who own Victor’s Montreux, the direct version of Victor’s sound source, will be able to fully enjoy the difference and perfection of this CD.
