Queen/Germany 1974 Upgrade

QUEEN burst into flames in 1974 with the single “Killer Queen” and the album “SHEER HEART ATTACK.” Introducing a superb live album where you can witness the breakthrough. This work includes “December 6, 1974 Cologne Performance”. This is a superb audience recording that records one act of their first continental European tour. QUEEN’s first hit was the single “Seven Seas of Rhye”, but that was only in the UK. On the other hand, “Killer Queen” was a worldwide hit, climbing up the charts in North America and Europe, and was the moment when the door to the world opened. First, let’s check the show’s position from the panoramic view of “SHEER HEART ATTACK TOUR”. ●1974《Single “Killer Queen” released on October 21st》・October 30th – November 7th: UK #1 (8 performances)《“SHEER HEART ATTACK” released on November 8th》・November 8th -November 20th: UK #2 (11 performances) November 23rd-December 13th: Europe (11 performances) ←★Here★ ●1975, February 5th-24th: North America #1 (16th performance)・March 5th – April 6th: North America #2 (21 performances) ・April 19th – May 1st: First visit to Japan (8 performances) This is the moment when QUEEN spread out into the world. During 1974, he toured England and Europe, and in 1975, he finally set off across the ocean to North America and Japan. The Cologne performance of this work is the 7th concert of such “European” leg. This work that recorded such a show is truly an exquisite audience recording. It is a show that has been known for its recordings for a long time, but this work is the best master handed down by overseas core collectors, and the clear atmosphere and freshness are irresistible. The strong core reaches straight without distortion, and thanks to the clear air, every detail is clear. The bass is especially surprising. The heavy bass in vintage audience recordings tends to ring out and become blurry, or get crushed and become a roaring sound. However, in this work, everything from the extension of the treble to the deep bass is beautiful and neatly separated. You can enjoy not only the bass lines and grooves, but also each note that produces them. The vocals and snare have an audience-like feel, so you can’t mistake it for a sound board, but the audience-like sound is also just a timbre level. The clarity is comparable to other radio sound sources. Moreover, this work is the highest version of such an exquisite master polished with meticulous mastering. When we once introduced it as a gift edition “BEST COLOGNE 1974”, we were asked to “just keep it as a press CD”, but it has been further improved. Not only is the pitch accurate, but we’ve also improved the clarity and adjusted the stereo balance, which was slightly to the right. It is a finish that maximizes its potential while preserving the taste and beauty of the famous recording. The show drawn with such beautiful sound is the culmination of the early days. This is a good opportunity, so let’s organize the content here. ●QUEEN (3 songs)・Son And Daughter, Keep Yourself Alive, Liar ●QUEEN II (6 songs)・WHITE SIDE: Procession, Father To Son, White Queen ・BLACK SIDE: Ogre Battle, The March Of The Black Queen, Seven Seas Of Rhye●SHEER HEART ATTACK (7 songs)・Now I’m Here, Flick Of The Wrist, In The Lap Of The Gods, Killer Queen, Bring Back That Leroy Brown, Stone Cold Crazy, In The Lap Of The Gods. ..Revisited ●Others・Big Spender, Modern Times Rock ‘n’ Roll, Jailhouse Rock…and so on. Seven songs from the popular “SHEER HEART ATTACK” were released on a large scale, and three songs were selected from each side of the debut album “QUEEN” and the masterpiece “QUEEN II”. You can see that the initial flavor is concentrated. As a matter of fact, this set is the same as the November London performance that was made official as part of “LIVE AT THE RAINBOW ’74”, but the contents of this work are much better. In the official London, Freddie’s voice seemed tired, perhaps because of the last day of the “UK” tour, but this work is in great condition. His singing voice is different from that of his later years, and he has a noble voice that goes well to the highs, and his excitement about his first continental tour is amazing. Roger’s high that you can listen to in “In The Lap Of The Gods” is also growing very well. Of course, the performance is also fulfilling. He has gotten used to the touring life of traveling and performing shows repeatedly, and it is easy to see that he has rapidly improved through this experience. In addition to such a performance, this work is also exquisitely realistic. “QUEEN’s first experience” was being repeated all over the world just at the height of the break, but the enthusiasm is ruthlessly real. When I write this, it might seem like I’m covered in yellow screams like I’m visiting Japan for the first time, but that’s not the case. Rather, it smells like a man. During the performance, there was silence, as if to say, “Let’s see what you’ve done,” and after each song, applause erupted, as if to say, “Let’s do it!” The voice that keeps requesting “Liar! Liar!” (some say it’s shouting “Brian!”…) also sounds strangely rock-like. Unlike Japan, where idol popularity exploded from the beginning, this is the scene of rock guys who welcomed QUEEN as a new generation of hard rock. Although brilliant, early QUEEN was full of hard rock power. This is a superb live album that allows you to experience their stage in 100% reality as they tried to change the world by force. A new masterpiece that refines the original sound of master quality recognized by researchers. Live at Sartory Hall, Koln, Germany 6th December 1974 PERFECT SOUND (UPGRADE) (79:56) 1. Procession 2.
