Rainbow/Sweden 2019 Remaster

A super-excellent live album that will be the “best masterpiece of the fourth year” has appeared. Included in the masterpiece is “June 8, 2019: Selvesborg Performance”. This is a full audience recording performed at Europe’s super famous festival “SWEDEN ROCK FESTIVAL”. This show also introduces the CD version of the same title, but this work is neither a copy nor a remastered reissue. It is a completely different recording, and it is a super superb record with a completely different dimension. Additionally, “LIVE IN MUNICH 2019” will be released at the same time. First, let’s check the show’s position on the 2019 schedule. ・June 6th: Hybinkär performance ・June 8th: Selvesborg performance [this work] ・June 12th “LIVE IN MUNICH 2019” ・June 15th: Malaga performance 21st Century RAINBOW has performed several times every year since its revival in 2016. We hold one performance at a time, and in 2019 there will be a total of four performances listed above. Every year, most of the shows have been made into live albums with the highest quality, but this year, for some reason, the excavation situation is not good. Although the final performance has already been completed, the full recording has only appeared in two performances. And, this work is a transcendent master that stands out among them, and is unanimously recognized by enthusiasts all over the world as “the pinnacle recording of 2019.” It cannot be said that there is no possibility that excavation conditions will improve dramatically in the future, but looking at the current situation, it is unlikely that a record that surpasses this one will emerge. This work has a superb sound that is truly “super”. It’s amazing how ridiculous it is to compare it to the previously released version. No, the already released version was a masterpiece audience recording that was more than average, but the horizon that stands on is completely different. The sound using the famous “Schopes MK41″ recognized by recording artists around the world is always on and clear. The Strat sound has a deep core without any sense of distance, and the sound is sexy and glossy. Ronnie Romero’s singing voice is extremely tight, and the nuances of not only one word of the lyrics but even one syllable are clear, and the snare is very thick, which tends to give off the feel of a guest record. I searched with all my might for evidence of Odins, and at last I thought, “I wonder if the bass sound has a bit of a bouncy feeling…” It is a famous recording that is far removed from the customer records. Collectors all over the world are excited about the sound, but this work further refines the original sound. We have made repeated fine adjustments throughout the entire sound range, but the most noticeable difference is in the bass. Earlier I wrote that the only noticeable feeling I had was “the bouncy feel of the bass,” but that has also been thoroughly improved. Its beauty is obvious. The contours and fineness of the texture are completely different. When I analyzed it carefully, I found that there was a solid core carved into the swollen deep bass rumble, and the vibe was preserved beautifully down to the last detail. In this work, we have picked up that delicate vibe, suppressed the buzzing sound, and separated it to highlight only the core. As a result, the bass line not only has a clear line, but also the vibe of each note that spins the melody. It was so delicate that you could feel the vibrations of the strings, and succeeded in portraying a wildly dancing rhythm section. The sound revived in this way is one that truly brings out the potential of the original sound to the utmost. Originally, everything except the bass was separated from the audience, but the bass has been improved and the overall balance has been adjusted, making this work like a soundboard. It is not the roughness of the excavation, but the quality is so high that you think it is an FM broadcast or an official edition. There is no need to say much about the show drawn with that sound. This year’s set list is fixed (with the exception of “Carry On… Jon” being added to the Munich performance). This is a show where Ronnie Romero roars heroically, with that Strat sound spinning the ultimate Blackmore best. If there is no change in the set, the most important thing is the sound. This work is a pinnacle live album of ultimate quality that is the answer. It is hard to imagine that it will be made official again this year, and this work will probably be the “top of the 2019 edition of RAINBOW.” (Remastered Memo) ★Although the sound quality is super high, the prominent bass range has been softened to make it easier to listen to.
