Van Halen/California, USA 1977 & more

The highest quality record ever of the Pasadena performance on October 17, 1977, which is a super high-quality soundboard recording take representing early Van Halen, is finally available on CD! ! It was released as “PASADENA ON FIRE: REMASTERED EDITION” a few weeks ago, and the highest quality record became a hot topic for its upper-class sound that completely defeated many of the same sound sources in the past. It’s strange that the highest quality edition of Van Halen’s secret recordings, which boast a long history in both content and timing, is not released on CD! Wrong! In response to requests from many fans, we have decided to release the press edition at short notice amid the VH fever that is at its peak! Anyway, I enjoyed the quality of the sound even with the previous releases, but what you can hear on this edition is the original and outstanding sound! In the first place, the already released “PASADENA ON FIRE” has been severely limited and the sound is clumpy despite its high sound quality, so in order to compensate for this weakness, the sound range that seems to be excessive has been appropriately reduced and the sound has been remastered accurately. By applying this, the sound quality has been transformed into a sound quality with a sense of separation that feels like it has been reborn. In particular, the separation between the guitar and vocals is noticeable, and the upper tone can be easily recognized by fans of any level. Of course, this version is not a forced transformation of the sound, but rather the result of aiming for the “most correct” sound image, and it is absolutely appropriate to make it into a CD as it is! This is definitely one of the strongest pieces. This time, contrary to what has already been released, the main live performance recorded in the highest sound quality is the main one, and five rehearsal line recording takes are included in the second half of the last one as a bonus. Guided by the intro call, the young Van Halen’s powerful performance, which left them running at full speed, is truly a series of great performances that will go down in rock history! The official release of the first album is four months away, and the set also powerfully shows off the album’s recorded numbers with vivid arrangements. The way he performs famous songs one after another in such a youthful manner is a sight to behold, and everyone is overwhelmed by the persuasive power of the sound, comparable to early Led Zeppelin’s performances. It will probably be done. You can definitely say that this recording is “a miracle in rock history.” That is the joy of listening to this upgraded sound! For rock fans, there’s nothing like this! The perfection of the sound and the most charming performance are truly amazing! ! In the first place, according to records, the only live performance they performed after this show before their debut was at the Whiskey A Go Go performance on New Year’s Eve in 1977, which was a performance commemorating the completion of the album, so this was their last live performance as a local band. It can be said to be a valuable performance recorded. I can’t believe I can listen to such a live performance with such excellent sound! The only thing that can compete with this live album is Deep Purple’s “LIVE IN JAPAN”. You really have to listen to this! If this amazing sound source were copied as is and released as an official version, it would become a “famous live record in rock history”… In addition, 5 additional rehearsal takes from the day are included as bonus tracks. This is also a high quality stereo line recording. The first three songs (On Fire, Voodoo Queen, Atomic Punk) are instrumental without vocals and are played by just the three of them, and their vivid line recordings come from the speakers with a force like no other. All three songs start off at the beginning, but all are completed. Dave joins in for the intro of Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love. On Fire also starts off at the beginning, but it is also completed with vocals. Originally, this rehearsal take had a slightly dull sound compared to the main live performance in terms of sound quality, but it was also completely equalized in the main version. The sound quality has been transformed to be much easier to listen to. Van Halen’s strongest and best album, a must-listen and must-have for every rock fan on the planet, is now available on CD! !
