Queen/London,UK Young Jockey Edition

Recorded from the 1976 Japan Radio broadcast of the Hammersmith Odeon performance in London on December 24, 1975 (broadcast date: October 10). A 1-hour complete recording of Queen Live ’75 from the famous rock program “Young Jockey” on national radio, from the DJ intro to the outro. Speaking of October 1976, it was the height of the 1970s, six months after the release of “A Night at the Opera,” and a few months later, “Splendid Lace.” At this time, when there were few opportunities to hear live recordings from artists other than live concerts, young rock fans across Japan at the time must have listened intently to this broadcast. Queen, who was still seen as idols in Japan, were impressed by the highly advanced playing skills that can be heard here, and by their ability to reproduce the album’s detailed sound extremely lively and full of groove, even ordinary rock fans were impressed. I’m sure you were very surprised and thought, “It’s unbelievably amazing” and “This is real.” At that time, even when a girl who went to a Queen concert exclaimed, “Queen’s stage is really amazing!”, the majority of male rock fans would have been shocked, saying “There’s no way that could happen.” A legendary radio broadcast live where you can hear that it has been surpassed. You can enjoy that precious take in high quality for an hour with commentary from the DJ at the time. The collector who recorded this broadcast take has recorded and stored the 70’s broadcast on tape with very high quality sound, and the sound quality is very clear and has no deterioration, just like the take broadcast yesterday today. Yo! What a wonderful thing to be able to enjoy the entire radio broadcast on the night of October 10, 1976 with this texture! You could truly call this a miracle. The live performance of this day has been broadcast many times up to the present day, and recently a high-definition TV broadcast version has appeared, making it one of the standard sound sources for fans, but the same Christmas live , it is rare to have the opportunity to listen to the entire radio broadcast of that time in the highest level of sound quality, and this edition will become a standard among enthusiasts not only in Japan but also overseas as the “1976 YOUNG JOCKEY EDITION”. I think that’s the case. The great thing about this DJ is that he doesn’t talk too much or give out more information than is necessary, but he clearly states the points and stance that you should listen to. At the time, I think there was no other rock DJ who could comment on his position or musical appeal other than him. The middle part of the story is wonderful, so I’ll write it here. “When you say “Queen,” she says, “Oh, she’s a Queen.” On the one hand, she’s very popular, and on the other hand, she’s very popular, and on the other hand, she’s very popular, so she’s rated low, and sometimes she’s very popular. They’re a strange band, but I was really into them when they debuted, and I think they’re a really great new hard rock group, and their second album is the best for me. I like them, but I’ve been listening to Queen for a long time, and as you can see from their current performances, they’re definitely not a “group for fans”. In Japan, there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding, and I don’t think there are any other countries like the United States or the United Kingdom where people are accepted in this way. As you can see by listening to this concert, you can’t hear the screaming, although it’s relatively recent, and it’s been received in a very casual manner. So, when it comes to Queen, if you listen to it in a fairly orthodox manner, you won’t end up with a concert full of screams, but the Japanese rock scene is very dark, and I can’t help but listen to it. There are many things that people tend to focus on, such as their looks, and this seems to be the reason why Queens are so popular in Japan. However, Queen is also responsible for this, and I feel that their recent, so-called tyrannical sound has somehow made Queen more popular. That’s why I really like Queen’s second album, but I think it’s important that Queen be listened to properly, that their message is accepted more properly, and that fans can also appreciate their sound. I think the most important thing to do is to evaluate it fairly.”This is a time machine-like piece that transports you back to an autumn night in 1976. By the way, the summer of 1976 was the year the Montreal Olympics were held. The day after this broadcast, on October 11th, King hit home run No. 715, breaking Babe Ruth’s record, and the following week, the Nagashima Giants achieved a dramatic victory from last place the previous year. (In July, former Prime Minister Tanaka was arrested in connection with the Lockheed Incident, which shocked Japan.) Older fans fondly remember the real-time atmosphere of the time, which young fans rarely get to experience. However, it is also fun to enjoy a Queen live performance in a vintage atmosphere.
