Who,The Who/England,UK 1970 Complete Upgrade

The Who released the complete version of their once-in-a-lifetime performance in 1970, and “LIVE AT LEEDS: MULTITRACK MASTER” became a huge bestseller. There were already calls for a re-release, but in the midst of all this, another label took a different approach and released a new full-length version of Leeds. It certainly surpassed “~ MULTITRACK MASTER” in terms of sound quality. This is because the base was the official distribution version of Leeds from 2014. It is natural that the sound quality would be outstanding if it was based on the 2014 version, which was a hot topic because it was not limited by the constraints of CD or record formats and could be listened to in the order of the songs on the day. However, because it was an official release, “Spoonful”, which was included in “Shakin’ All Over”, could not be included due to music usage fees. There was also the issue that Roger’s overdubs remained as they were because it was official. In other words, regardless of the era, it is virtually impossible to record Leeds raw when based on the official version. Even if the leaked sound source that was the basis for “~ MULTITRACK MASTER” was patched in, the sense of incongruity in the mix and sound quality would be unavoidable. When it comes to Leeds, you can’t enjoy the original state by simply editing it. That means the value of “LIVE AT LEEDS: MULTITRACK MASTER” will not fade. This work (hereinafter referred to as the “previously released version”) was a release that used the sound source that was the basis for the nostalgic Midas Touch version, but it was not without its flaws. First of all, it was based on a copy that had been transferred via cassette, as is typical of leaked sound sources, and there was a noticeable hiss noise (and the Midas Touch version also had some pitch deviations). Despite this, the previously released version had the volume turned up during the MC between songs, which made the hiss noise even worse. Also, the intro to “Do You Think It’s Alright” was slightly missing, and as a result, it was recorded in a state where it faded in softly. Furthermore, there was a cut that was cut off at the moment when “Shakin’ All Over” rushed into “Spoonful”. And as mentioned earlier, the sound quality itself does not reach the level of the 2014 version. This is the dilemma of the leaked sound source. Therefore, this time we decided to forgo a straight reissue of the already released board, and decided to remake it with a completely different approach while based on the leaked sound source. After all, this year is the 55th anniversary of Leeds. This time, it was based on a version built by an enthusiastic maniac based on the nostalgic Midas Touch board. The main reason is that the finished product was better than the already released version, but at this point the intro problem of the already released board “Do You Think It’s Alright” has been resolved. In addition, the problem of the sound being cut off after “I’m A Boy” and after “Shakin’ All Over” was resolved by naturally patching the official 2014 version. However, this time it does not end there. Furthermore, the whole thing was washed again from there. First, all the instrument parts of the leaked multi-track were individually separated using the latest AI technology. Furthermore, they succeeded in carefully suppressing the hiss noise that was prominent in the previously released version. There is no sense of unnaturalness in the sound reverberation that is common with conventional noise reduction. Moreover, the increase in hiss caused by the increase in the volume of the MC, which was a major drawback of the previously released version, has been completely eliminated. At this point, the finish is guaranteed to surpass the previously released version. Yes, the purpose of this release is to bring the leaked sound source closer to the sound quality of the official 2014 version. On top of that, the 2014 version used in some patches also uses the same technology to disassemble all parts. This is because it is a thorough work to minimize the discomfort in sound quality and mix that occurs when using 2014 to compensate for missing or unstable parts of the leaked sound source. As a result, the long-cherished wish of enthusiasts around the world, “the complete version of Leeds with sound quality approaching the official version and no overdubbing”, has been realized. In this way, the degree of completion easily surpasses the previous “LIVE AT LEEDS: MULTITRACK MASTER”… especially this sound quality is amazing. This is the ultimate edition that finally allows you to enjoy the complete version of “Shakin’ All Over” in the current official quality, including the “Spoonful” part that will never be included officially (the circumstances of a cover song are completely different between adding it to an album that has already achieved huge sales and putting it on an album released from scratch…that’s why it was only possible in Hull when Leeds couldn’t do it).
