Information from the net.

A new reel master that recorded a super-best stereo sound board was discovered. It is a permanent preservation press decision with upgrade pro shot and set of the same show.

Included in such a work is "Performance in Paris on February 28, 1979 + March 1, 1979". This is a two-disc set with a super-high quality stereo sound board CD assembled from two performances on Disc 1 and a Pro Shot DVD with the same content on Disc 2. It is a story that seems to be a little “?”, So let's explain it step by step. First of all, please look at the whole picture of “JAZZ TOUR”.

1978
“JAZZ TOUR”
・ October 28-December 20: North America (35 performances)

1979
・ January 17th-March 1st: Europe (28 performances) ← ★ here ★
・ April 13-May 6: Japan (15 performances)

<< Started production of "THE GAME" in June >>

《June 22 “LIVE KILLERS” release》
・ August 18: SAARBRUCKEN OPEN AIR appearance
“CRAZY TOUR”
・ November 22-December 26: UK (20 performances)

This is an overview of the tour related to “JAZZ”. Although it is also famous as “LIVE KILLERS”, that official board was composed of several performances of “Europe” leg. The final performance was in Paris for three consecutive nights. The live recorded in this work is on the second and third day. The recording date of "LIVE KILLERS" has not been fully elucidated yet, but it is said that it has been adopted as part of these two days.

In addition to “LIVE KILLERS”, pro shot footage is also leaked in these 2 performances in Paris. Although it is roughly the last day (March 1st), it is the second day (February 28th) on 4 songs "Somebody To Love", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Tie Your Mother Down", "Sheer Heart Attack" and a part of guitar solo. ) Is also the editing pro shot used. We have been loved as a gift DVDR "PARIS 1979" in this shop, but this work is a major upgrade version. Moreover, separate upgrade masters for audio and video. Let's introduce each disk individually.

[CD: Stereo sound board recording by new excavation reel master]

This work is a two-disc set of live album and video, especially the CD. The reel tape written “UNCENSORED QTV PARIS FRANCE PRE-FM” was brought from the original route, but it was the best sound of the shock! Until now, this pro shot was known for mono, but this time it was stereo. Moreover, the sound quality itself is overwhelmingly amazing.

The difference is so stupid to compare. Although there is no feeling of direct connection that seems to be a spill, there is no slight hiss, but the good omission is overwhelming and the edges and contours are super clear. The roundness due to dubbing is not felt at all, and yet there is no unnatural feeling that was remastered. Combined with the vivid stereo feeling, the sounds of four people spinning will be mixed in three dimensions. It seems that the direct feeling itself has risen rather than the cloudy sound of the conventional pro shot, and rather than saying “stereo version of the pro shot audio”, it is more comfortable to say “LIVE KILLERS outtake” It's the best sound board album coming.

Moreover, the live itself is exactly “another LIVE KILLERS”. Although it is far from full show because it takes about 1 hour of editing, the performance is comparable to the traditional official board. Moreover, “Somebody to Love”, “Fat Bottomed Girls” and “If You Can't Beat Them” that were not included in “LIVE KILLERS” can be enjoyed firmly on the stereo sound board.

[DVD: QTV master of outflow pro shot]

The video edition following the shocking reel master has also undergone a major upgrade. This is also an upgrade master by "QTV", and the outflow pro shot with the counter for business use is the same as before, but the "QTV" logo is also included.

’The best part is master freshness. This is also no comparison with the previous version. Obviously, if the Gene is two or three different and the counter and logo outlines are clear, there will be almost no distortion or bleeding. There is a twist from "Fat Bottomed Girls" to "Now I'm Here", and the camera work based on one turtle is slightly different from the "official work style" in the first place, but if the basic video beauty is a bonus video It is a level that can also be used officially.

This upgrade "QTV" version has begun to go on the net, but this work is aimed at further ultimate form. The original monaural sound has been replaced with a newly discovered reel master. This is just a guess, but the "QTV" version, probably known on the net, seems to drop stereo sound into mono. This reel master seems to be the original stereo sound.

The show depicted in the video beauty is “video version LIVE KILLERS” that everyone wants. Although it is always a pillowline in the 1979 video, this Paris performance is not just the same period, but is also a show that was actually adopted in "LIVE KILLERS". Freddie is dressed in black leather, but the whiskers are not yet stored, and the other three are unified in cool and urban outfits. A familiar stage set is projected on the pro-shot in the artwork of "Live Killers", and Freddie and Brian move in front of it. In recent years, excavation on the official side is also progressing, but most are in the early white costume or beard era. The real thrill of watching this smart and tough JAZZ era with beautiful professional shots cannot be replaced by anything.

Exactly “Another LIVE KILLERS” and “LIVE KILLERS with eyes”. This is a press set that permanently preserves the upgraded stereo sound board with the newly discovered reel master and the upgrade video. A two-disc set that you can enjoy together with traditional official works. Please enjoy it carefully.

★ Direct recording from the original reel tape that we obtained. The sound is overwhelmingly better than the previous ones.
★ Only the first 50 copies will be released with a sticker with numbering.
