Pink Floyd/UK 1.21.1972

This week, one more piece, the most important title related to "Madness World Premiere", will be released at the same time! It is the Portsmouth performance on January 21, 1972, the day after the world premiere. The world premiere the day before had a turbulent start, with the performance being stopped in the middle of "Money" due to equipment trouble, but it was only on the last two days that all the songs of "Madness" were performed in full in front of the audience. The Portsmouth show was the first one. In particular, the three songs after the interrupted "Money" were not played (= could not be performed) the previous day, so what you can hear on the second day is the moment of the world premiere, and these last three songs If you are an avid fan enough to visit our store, you probably know that the song is the biggest highlight of "Prototype Version Madness." This week, the recording of the first complete performance of "Madness" in its entirety will be revived as the strongest high-quality recording in history!! This sound source was released in 1998 as "ECLIPSED BY THE MOON". It has been released in the past under titles such as 2-disc titles and "DARKSIDE PREMIERE," so many of you reading this may have heard the contents under those titles. Among them, "Us And Them" is played fast and powerfully, and since "Eclipse" did not yet exist for "Brain Damage", the arrangement from the middle to the end of the performance is completely different from the later final version. , the scene at the end of the song, which was performed for the first time in a rather unique appearance, is very famous. Other songs include: ・“The Travel Sequence” which was shortened by about 1 minute from the previous day ・“Breathe (Reprise)” which was shortened by about 40 seconds from the previous day and had a strong bridge role ・Furthermore, there are lyrics that were not there the day before. ``Breathe (Reprise)'', a shorter version of ``Any Color You Like'', ``Careful With That Ax, Eugene'', which was removed from the set, and ``Set The Controls For The Heart'', which was included in its place. Even though it is only one day different from the premiere, surprisingly large changes and enhancements such as "Of The Sun" can already be confirmed, so this second day is a first-class research material sound source that is on par with the premiere. However, it left a huge mark on the history of sound sources. The sound source used in this work is the same as those previously released, but the one decisive difference is the excellent sound quality that far exceeds those past classics. This time, the famous overseas collector who revived the previous day's world premiere sound source in exceptional quality also specially supervised the second day of this "crazy, full performance" and revived it with the best sound image in history. is. The difference is instantly noticeable, and as with the premiere sound source, the original sound of the recording has been greatly restored to its vividness by refining the sound with an emphasis on the quiet texture. In particular, the restoration and recovery are remarkable in the tough rumble of the core bass and the increase in the high range, and it is surprising that the resolution of the sound has improved without affecting the musical tone at all. It is also noteworthy that the hiss noise that was noticeable on the previously released version has been significantly reduced, and the sound image that felt claustrophobic has regained the original range and brightness of the original sound. It would be more similar to say that this is the arrival of master quality rather than an upper version, but in any case, the sounds that have already been released, such as the Highland edition, have been fundamentally changed with the appearance of this work. It's almost certain that it will happen. For example, the heartbeat sound of "Speak to Me", which was recorded from the very beginning, has a clarity that is half a step ahead of the previously released version, and "Breathe", which was out of tune in yesterday's premiere, is also the first time. You can enjoy the perfect start with a fulfilling sound that has never been seen before. Gilmore's singing, which mixes the lyrics of the first and second verses, is also noteworthy because the sense of scale of the expression appears in the best sound image ever. “The Travel Sequence” was performed approximately one minute shorter than the previous day, and you will be able to grasp the original approach of the short, tight and dynamic song with more and more certainty. Mason's hi-hat work also reaches your ears with a sharper sound than ever before, allowing you to feel the outline of the song even more clearly. "Breathe (Reprise)" is performed in a shorter version than "Travel Sequence", and the lyrics that were not present at the premiere the previous day are sung by Gilmour for the first time, and it seems that major changes were made in just one day. It has been revived with a remarkable upper sound. In "Money", the approach of the early days with a sound like an alarm bell (?) on the register SE can now be heard even more clearly. The progression of the two voices, with Gilmore and Wright taking twin leads, is clearer than ever, and the guitar solo that comes in in the middle has a perfectly focused and direct sound, and the excitement of playing it completely for the first time strongly pierces your heart. That's guaranteed. What you can hear here from "Us And Them" will be the world premiere. This song also has a sharpness and a sense of attack that is better than any of the previous sounds, and there is a part where the guide vocal goes "♪ Ahhh..." (* From around 4 minutes 43 seconds to 5 minutes 04 seconds) will also be enjoyed with the most vivid upper sound image ever. “Any Color You Like” does not have a synthesizer solo and progresses with a guitar using a talking modulator, but this is also a special performance that is played in a shortened form of about 1 and a half minutes, giving it a full upper feel. You can enjoy it with sound. And "Brain Damage / Eclipse", which is the highlight of the album, brings the fun of the song's development back to life with its excellent real sound. As you know, "Eclipse" was not included in the composition of the very early "Madness", and the part from around 3:08 is a song that includes a humorous approach like the later "Outside The Wall". However, you will be amazed once again at how this original expression and song structure, which is completely different from the later completed version, has been revived with a fundamentally improved sound. “One of These Days” starts after a while of tuning, and the upper feeling explodes. The attack of the bass in the introduction, the mysterious transformation of the theme motive in the middle, and the way the motive sound before the monologue, which was twice yesterday, has been returned to one, and during the interlude where the rhythm has slowed down, Roger The production where the licks and licks intersect effect sounds violently, the musical intonation that develops violently from there, everything jumps out with a large-scale sound that far exceeds the previous sound. The tuning scene after the performance is also captured for about 1 minute, and the fact that it sounds better than before is also a topic. In “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun”, the thickness of the sound led by the drums flows richly in texture, and you will be able to enjoy the sense of depth with a good outlook. In particular, in the scene where the rhythm disappears in the middle, the artist brings out movement from the silence and recreates the drama with a sense of scale.The intelligence of the artist is revealed in incredible resolution, so please pay attention to it. Also, it is worth noting that you can enjoy the uncut tuning for about 2 minutes with even better sound after the performance. "Echoes" has a sharp and sharp sound output that surpasses the previous sound, and the power of the midrange has increased by about +1, and the toughness of the tone is sure to captivate your attention. The finer details of the cymbal strikes can now be heard even more clearly, making the contours of the sound even more distinct, and the listening experience has definitely improved. It is also a topic here that the approximately 4 minutes (!!) from the end of the performance until the encore is recorded uncut, and there is a momentary sound cutout at 3 minutes 04 seconds and 13 minutes 41 seconds in the original recording. It has also been completely repaired. “A Saucerful Of Secret” has a wider range and improved dynamic feel. If you listen to this, you will notice that the previously released sound was a slightly narrow sound image, and the chaotic middle part (*especially from the early 6 minutes to around 8 minutes and 23 seconds) seemed to be closed and silent. The sound image will be released, and you will have the impression of approaching eloquence. The guide vocals at the end are also very satisfying to listen to, with a sense of scale, and all the momentary sound interruptions that existed at 2 minutes 19 seconds and 10 minutes 28 seconds due to the master have been completely corrected, so you can listen to it all at once. It also provides a new level of joy. The fact that the first and second day of the 1972 performance, which is the only confirmed world premiere of "Madness" and the live sound source of the second day, which will be released this week, has been revived with master quality that is full of upper feeling is a long history of Floyd's sound source. It will also have a special meaning.

This is an astonishing new work that allows you to rediscover the chain of knowledge and the process of liberation created from the very early performances!!
