Return to Forever/Sweden 1972 Upgrade

“Stockholm Jazz Days 1972”, which was said to be a rare masterpiece even though it was an unofficial version, is an ultra-high-quality version recorded for the first time in a 24-bit remastered sound source that also includes “500 Miles High”, which was cut from the broadcast. has appeared. The sound source that appeared this time is a remaster of the rock-related boot and includes the TooleMan sound source that is trusted by enthusiasts. This is ToolMan’s sound source, which is new to jazz fans, but he has become a world-famous remaster craftsman in the rock field, and has released many famous sound sources into the world. The sound source that he has remastered has been further subjected to noise reduction processing and is the sound source that we will introduce to you this time. On September 17, 1972, the band performed live at the Stockholm Jazz Days held at the Drama Theater, featuring Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Joe Farrell, and Iart Moreira. Now, let’s take a look at the details of the remaster. “500 Miles High”, which was played on the day of the rebroadcast but was cut due to the broadcast time, is re-inserted from the original broadcast sound source and packaged. At that time, the pitch of “500 Miles High” was raised by 61 cents and a cleaned sound source was used. Other songs are recorded with the pitch raised by 28 to 37 cents. Reduces hum noise from 1st or 2nd generation recording tapes, making it even more noise-free in the studio. To put it bluntly, it is different from a sound source that simply increases the sound pressure and uses excessive equalization. The quality is hard to believe for an unofficial edition. In the old work “Stockholm Jazz Days”, the sound quality was as if it were wrapped in a foggy fog, but the fog has cleared and you can listen to it with a crisp and clear sound quality. Now, the important performance is Chick Corea’s Fender Rhodes, which makes you feel the deep inspiration of this period, Joe Farrell’s flute full of spooky Latin flavor, and Stanley Clarke and Iart Moreira on soprano. The music created by the four of them shows its true value in live performances, and the live performances are filled with an excitement that cannot be felt on the album “Light as a Feather”. The sound quality of this work, which stands out among the early Return to Forever sound sources, is truly official-class, so please surrender yourself to this excellent sound.
