INFO from internet page.
First of all, the show’s position due to the quality of the rain. Speaking of “1977 QUEEN/Millard recording”, there is also the senior record “L.A. FORUM 1977 2ND NIGHT (Wardour-407)” that was discovered earlier, but the significance of the sound source is actually completely different. First, let’s take a look at the overview of the activities at the time and confirm the positional relationship between them. ●1977
It was too perfect from the first release “Wardour-455”, but this work has been remastered by “GRAF ZEPPELIN” once back to the original. He honed it with his usual obsessive precision. Pitch/phase does not allow deviations of even 1/1000 seconds, and the balance is adjusted after band analysis. We find out even the minute details of whether or not you can hear various noises such as hiss, hum, and gaps, and treat them according to their characteristics. As a result, when dust accumulates, it becomes a mountain. Thanks to each small improvement in accuracy, this work has certainly updated its all-time high. Of course, the previous album “Wardour-455” still sounds perfect on its own, but when I listen to it compared to this work, I feel that there is something different. “Something different” sounds too weird, so I’ll give you an easy-to-understand point: the sound of the piano. Actually, the pitch of this recording was slightly different at the beginning, middle, and end of the show. I don’t know whether it was during recording or at the transfer stage, but it probably shifted slightly each time the recording tape changed sides. Of course, the discrepancy is so small that you wouldn’t notice it just by listening to it, and the prestigious company “JEMS” who was actually in charge of the excavation didn’t notice it either, and only made consistent pitch adjustments throughout the album. This minute pitch difference is easy to understand in the piano sound. For example, “Somebody To Love”. Subtle discrepancies resulted in slight irregularities, vibrations, and distortions. If you have the previous edition, you will probably feel that it is a natural sound for AUD without thinking it is strange. However, when you listen to this well-organized album, you realize, “Ah, this is the right one.” And that “certain piano sound” remains the same in “Somebody To Love” at the beginning and “Bohemian Rhapsody” at the end. Mastering with extraordinary precision and a mirrored sound so delicate that that precision is clearly reflected… it is an upgrade that requires both together. “NEWS OF THE WORLD Tour” is full of absolute masterpieces, including “We
Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions.” This is a miraculous live album
where you can experience “North America #2” at its peak performance.
Recording by the absolute master Millard, the tremendous excavation power of
the prestigious JEMS, the meticulous mastering of the paranoid GRAF
ZEPPELIN, and the live performance of QUEEN, which has been described as the
“first climax.” Each element is the pinnacle, and everything interacts to
create a new masterpiece that opens up new horizons. Please enjoy it anytime
and forever with the permanent preservation press 2CD. ★Excellent audience recording of “December 20, 1977 Long Beach Performance”. GRAF ZEPPELIN has refinished Millard’s masterpiece, which was once highly acclaimed as the “best of QUEEN’s guest records,” and has updated it to its highest peak. This is the birth of the greatest masterpiece of all time, which has reached the ultimate level of perfection as a musical work, without overlooking the (minor) pitch deviations on each side of the tape, which had been overlooked until now. |
