Rolling Stones/WA, USA 1975 Upgrade

The monaural audience recording that captured the Rolling Stones’ July 18 Seattle performance has been released sporadically since the 90s, but the sound quality has improved all at once since the master version was discovered in 2009. All the items released in the 90’s were based on out-of-gen cassettes, which caused not only sound quality but also pitch errors, but because of their outstanding stability, “ALIVE IN SEATTLE”, ” SEATTLE 1975″ was released. More than 10 years have passed since then, and now the former is clear but noisy, and the latter is fluffy, each with their own unique sound quality. However, the quality of the sound source released by JEMS has not faded even now, and this release is an attempt to overhaul it again with the technology of 2020, which is why it is “REVISITED”. Even if the sound source was recorded in monaural, the dilemma of phase shift occurring due to aging or compatibility with the playback equipment is a common phenomenon with vintage sound sources, and recently, the Beatles’ “SAM HOUSTON COLISEUM 1965 UPGRADE” has made the sound source mono again. This brought back the original texture of the sound source. Therefore, the Stones’ Seattle 75 audience was thoroughly restored to remove any disturbances caused by aging on the left and right sides. By making it into a product, we were able to create a depth that was not present in releases ten years ago. The difference in sound quality is obvious even when compared to the release of the past two titles, and you will be able to feel the upper part of the sound quality, which is very moist, natural, and has improved clarity. There are also problems with the equipment that was probably used when the JEMS sound source was released, so it is worth overhauling. And since this process reduced the hiss noise in a natural way, it was like killing two birds with one stone. Compared to the LA Forum recorded by Mike Millard and the Cow Palace’s definitive “IT’S ONLY ROCK’N ROLL” sound source, which was recorded over two days, the sound image is monaural and has a sense of distance, but there are no noisy customers around. I can hear it well enough. This time, the sound quality has significantly increased its natural feel, making it even easier to listen to. Moreover, when I listened to the performance that day again, it was truly amazing. The 1975 tour progressed in a clearly cocaine-fueled sharp tone, which was especially noticeable for Mick in the first half of the tour. However, after the second day at the Cow Palace, the unruly atmosphere gradually began to subside. Speaking of 1975, since that flying Mick was the biggest attraction, it is undeniable that the impact of the performance in the latter half of the tour was weakened. However, even though Seattle was the next performance location of Cow Palace, it runs through with hyper tension as if Mick from the first half of the tour had been revived. From the opening to “Star Star”, it was flying like a runaway locomotive, and there were many scenes that were 75 years old. It may be that it was in a good condition, but Mick flies so much that it feels good to listen to it. The true value of 1975 is that the band also plays intensely in a way that is encouraged by this. Until the first day of the Cow Palace, such recklessness was commonplace, so it is easy to understand how he exploded exceptionally in Seattle, where the tour was in the latter half. The highlight of the day was “Midnight Rambler”. Not only did Mick lead the band in high tension from the beginning, but Charlie’s drumming, encouraged by him, exploded. The performance was so exciting that it climaxed twice, showing off a sharp turn of events. This is without a doubt the best take of the second half of the tour. On the other hand, “The scene where the performance of “It’s Only Rock’n Roll is disrupted” has been a hot topic among enthusiasts for the past 10 years, and it’s no wonder that this scene has become so popular.Through a meticulous restoration that makes full use of the latest technology, this sound source has been restored. The 2020 version revives the original charm of the original monaural recording, such as the depth and naturalness.It is a reborn version that can be clearly compared to the previous two titles mentioned above. Please enjoy the hot and hyper performance at Seattle 75 to your heart’s content! (Remastered memo) ★It has very high sound quality, but it is closer to the low range and has a texture that is not very clear, so it does not feel strange. I applied EQ processing to improve the clarity in the direction.I slightly cut out the strong midrange and corrected the high range, but since it is a master with high potential, EQ correction causes problems such as increased hiss. The original sound source was monaural, but there was a phase shift between the left and right channels, as well as problems with band differences and volume differences, so after thorough repair of the shaking and sound dropouts in one channel. The repair channel is divided into left and right to create a complete mono master.Live at Seattle Center Coliseum, Seattle, WA, USA 18th July 1975 PERFECT SOUND (UPGRADE) Disc 1. (63:15) 01.
