Roxy Music Bryan Ferry/England,UK 1974 Soundboard

The legendary soundboard album, touted as “True VIVA!” and “Complete version of the great album”, is here. The ultimate sound with a higher degree of perfection has been decided to be released on 2 CDs. This work is engraved with the “October 28, 1974 Newcastle performance”. It is a stereo soundboard recording. 1974 was a delicious era with a switch between “STRANDED Tour” and “COUNTRY LIFE Tour”, and John Wetton also participated at some times. Let’s look back at the schedule at that time to see what position this work holds. 1974 ・February 20: Boston performance ・April 4th + 5th: Southport (2 performances) ・May 25th – June 3rd: North America #1 (7 performances) 《July – August: Production of “COUNTRY LIFE”》《September: John Wetton participates》 ・September 21st – October 28th: ​​UK #1 (27 performances) ←★Here★ ・November 5th – 27th: Europe (10 performances) ・November 29th: Atlanta performance *December 17th – 19th: UK #2 (Ferry solo 3 performances) 1975 ・February 8th – March 7th: North America #2 (19 performances) 《March: Wetton participates in URIAH Transferred to HEEP April 15-30: Oceania (8 performances) September “SIREN” completed October 2-23: UK #3 (17 performances) November 14-December 1: North America #3 (12 performances) This is ROXY MUSIC in 1974/1975. Wetton joined the tour after the completion of “COUNTRY LIFE”. The Newcastle performance of this work was the last day of “UK #1”, which was the beginning of the tour. This show is also known for being adopted by “VIVA!”, but the official traditional version was also an edited version produced from multiple performances. It’s a good opportunity, so let’s check the details. Breakdown of the official “VIVA!”: November 1973: Glasgow (2 songs), October 1974: Newcastle (5 songs) ←★Here★, October 1975 Wembley (1 song)… It is as follows. While it has been widely adopted from the “STRANDED Tour” to the “SIREN Tour”, the most popular with 5 songs is “1974 Newcastle”. Not only the number of songs, but also the long takes such as “The Bogus Man”, “If There Is Something”, and “In Every Dream Home A Heartache” were all Newcastle performances, and it was the main venue in both name and reality. And this is the complete sound board of such a historic show. Although it is an FM sound board known from guns, it is a famous product that has been made into a CD from its best master. In fact, the sound is not inferior to the traditional “VIVA!” … or rather, if you play the mix, you won’t know which take it is. Moreover, this work is also the highest peak version polished by meticulous mastering. Of course, there is no meaningless sound pressure. Some of the currently known masters have a rough finish, MCs are doubled, and there are skips at the track points. This work properly treats such roughness, and also performs fine noise processing and pitch / phase correction. It pursues the perfection as a musical work without distorting the truth of the original sound. The full show, also called “the complete version of VIVA!,” is drawn with such complete official quality. Let’s organize the contents while checking the five songs included in “VIVA!. For Your Pleasure (5 songs) Beauty Queen / In Every Dream Home A Heartache (★) / The Bogus Man (★) / Editions Of You / Do The Strand (★) Country Life (5 songs) Prairie Rose / Out Of The Blue (★) / Three And Nine / If It Takes All Night / All I Want Is You Others (6 songs) Stranded: Mother Of Pearl / A Song For Europe / Street Life Others: If There Is Something (★) / Re-Make/Re-Model / Virginia Plain *Note: The “★” mark indicates songs that overlap with the official “VIVA!”. The complete recording, which is over 88 minutes long, cannot be compared to “VIVA!”, which was a single album of about 46 minutes. It is truly a “complete version” and a full live album that can be called the “true form”. Furthermore, it is not the same as the five songs included in “VIVA!”. Eddie Jobson’s violin is especially easy to hear, with the solo replaced in “Out Of The Blue” and the violin part in “If There Is Something” cut. In the first place, “VIVA!” itself is a processed work that has been overdubbed and edited, but in fact the Newcastle performance was also a two-day performance on “October 27th/28th”. Although no conclusion has been reached yet, the official “VIVA!” also suggests that some of the takes may have been from the first day (this work is from the second day). In any case, there is no doubt that this work is “more real and complete VIVA!”. The official masterpiece and the complete soundboard album that is worth more than robbery, its highest quality version. The finest stereo soundboard recording of the “Newcastle performance on October 28, 1974”. This is the complete version of the live performance known as the main venue of the traditional album “VIVA!”, and is the highest version that has been polished with unique mastering of the best master. This is an absolute edition of official quality that allows you to enjoy a full live performance of over 88 minutes, which is incomparable to the official “VIVA!”.
