Pink Floyd/Kanagawa,Japan 8.7.1971 50th Anniversary Remastered

Hakone Aphrodite, a myth in the history of Japanese Western music, is celebrating its 50th anniversary and is making great progress, both officially and unofficially. Introducing a 2CD that permanently preserves the apex record. The pinnacle record is the best audience recording that allows you to fully experience the “August 7, 1971: Hakone Performance”. At the end of last year, the true first day recording was discovered, which led to a new development: ``All the recordings that were thought to be from the first day (August 6th) were actually the second day (August 7th).'' This work is a full live album with the highest peak sound, making full use of the numerous “2nd day” records. If you have read this far, you are probably thinking of the 5-disc set "APHRODITE 1971 ARCHIVES (Sigma 220)", but this work is an easy way to enjoy "the most delicious part" of that blockbuster. Something you can taste. Moreover, it is not just a reprint copy of an already released product. It has been "rebuilt from the original with higher precision" through the painstaking work of GRAF ZEPPELIN. This is a story that doesn't really make sense from just an overview, so let's explain it in detail from the beginning. First, basic knowledge. Let's organize the five types of audience recordings recorded on "Hakone 2nd day (August 7th)". RECORDER 1 (Monaural recording: approx. 46 minutes) A ​​monaural recording of the legendary analog masterpiece "PEACE RECORD" that was not even sold in shops. This is a valuable traditional recording that was the only recording of "Cimbaline" until the appearance of RECORDER 5, which will be described later. RECORDER 2 (stereo recording: approx. 62 minutes) The most famous stereo recording that boasts the highest sound quality to this day. Our store is also familiar with ``APHRODITE'' and ``APHRODITE 1971''. RECORDER 3 (Monaural recording: approx. 31 minutes) A ​​monaural recording with no peak points in terms of length or quality. Although it is valuable, it is now longer than the obi. It can be heard on Disc 2 of "APHRODITE", but it is not used in this work. RECORDER 4 (monaural recording: approx. 55 minutes) Great sound source discovered by Reel to Reel. For the first time in history, the uncut versions of ``Taiyo Hymn'' and ``Echoes'' have been completely recorded. RECORDER 5 (Monaural recording: approx. 100 minutes) Shockingly the longest recording that lets you listen to the uncut "mystery" for the first time. "Taiyo Sanka" and "Cimbaline" are also uncut, including the closing greeting by a certain popular DJ. The original master cassette has an immeasurable achievement in completely elucidating the mysterious setlist of this day. This is a ``Hakone full live album'' produced by making full use of these.The key point is ``the highest quality''.Simply put, the best recording is ``RECORDER 2'', which is the only stereo recording. Yes, we make the most of it, and supplement the missing parts such as the 30 seconds in the middle of “Eugene” and the last 5 minutes of “Echoes” with “RECORDER 4 and 5”. Some of you may be wondering, "Isn't there a similar disc in the 5-disc set ARCHIVES?"It is true that the concept is the same as the "5-disc set DISC 3," but this work is "GRAF ZEPPELIN." Recently, the remasters related to "A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON Tour" have been well received, but the true nature of "GRAF ZEPPELIN" is the precision treatment of vintage recordings. In fact, the quality of ``RECORDER 2'' that you can enjoy with this work is overwhelming. ``Hakone no Atomic Heart Mother'' was recently broadcast on the radio and has become a hot topic. If you ask me about the original, it was "RECORDER 2." However, the broadcast version had a cheery cut and a unique mastering process, and the sound was not good, but this work has the natural sound of the original master. It is the freshest version. [DISC 2 (second half of the show): Expanding the longest RECORDER 5] DISC 1 contains the first half of the show from the start to “Echoes”, and DISC 2 contains the second half of the show. ``RECORDER 2'' does not have a second half, so ``RECORDER 5'' is the main one, supplementing the cuts between songs with ``RECORDER 4'' to make it the longest version. In this DISC 2, the remastering effect by "GRAF ZEPPELIN" can be felt more clearly. The original master was recorded monaurally on stereo tape (that is, the same sound on the left and right channels), but there is a difference in the degree of deterioration between the left and right channels. In this work, only the best parts of the left and right channels are carefully selected to create one monaural part. Up to this point, the process is the same as before, but the big difference is the quality of the sound itself. The conventional version had distortion in the sound around 10kHz, but this time, that distortion has been significantly reduced. This results in a more natural and beautiful top-of-the-line updated sound. 50 years have passed since his first visit to Japan, which is now at the level of myth. Currently, an unprecedented "Hakone Aphrodite" boom is occurring that even the official is involved. There have been a series of works that are shocking from various perspectives, such as ``True First Day'' and ``Eigahen'', but this work is among them as ``a full live album that is particular about the highest quality''. is. For core collectors, it is a ``crystal disc that refines the most delicious parts of the 5-disc set'', and even those who have been away from collector's sound sources for a while can experience it with peace of mind as ``two discs of pinnacle sound.'' set". Significance of the work The previous edition (5CD) was a complete compilation of the existing main sound sources into 5 CDs (rec 3 was omitted), but this edition includes the live performance of August 7, 1971. All songs are recorded on 2 CDs, which is the minimum required for . And the content is a compilation of the best sound sources. Despite the existence of five types of sound sources, they have been discovered separately and released accordingly each time, so this is a best compilation title with a minimum of 2 CDs based on the current best sound sources. However, surprisingly, it has not appeared until now.
