Renaissance/NY,USA 1974

RENAISSANCE in 1974, when Michael Dunford was an official member and a series of historic masterpieces were released. A soundboard album that will pour that live performance directly into your brain is now available. This work contains the "April 3, 1974 Rosslyn Performance". It is a superb soundboard recording recorded at the now defunct famous venue "My Father's Place". Speaking of 1974, the masterpiece soundboard "ACADEMY OF MUSIC 1974", which was also made official, is also memorable, but what is the positional relationship with this work? Let's unravel the schedule at that time and check each position.・March 22nd-April 26th: North America #1 (23 shows) ←★here★《Released "TURN OF THE CARDS" in May》・May 7th-25th: North America #2 (8 shows) ←※ACADEMY OF MUSIC 1974・July 20th-31st: North America #3 (3 shows)・August 13th + 18th: North America #4 (2 shows)・September 1st: Lennox show・October 15th-27th: North America #5 (5 shows)・November 9th-December 11th: North America #6 (8 shows)It's a bit dangerous to say that this is the 1974 RENAISSANCE. In their case, there are many ambiguities in the records from that time, and some of the materials are contradictory. The above schedule was also put together based on a combination of several materials and some guesses as to "probably what it was like." Please do not trust the detailed figures such as the number of shows, but use it as a rough reference. Anyway, it seems that the 1974 RENAISSANCE was limited to the second North American tour after Annie Haslam joined. "ACADEMY OF MUSIC 1974" was a show before and after the release of the album, but this work's Rosslyn performance was a concert one and a half months before that. In addition, a large-scale show of five consecutive performances (some sources say four performances) was organized at the famous venue "My Father's Place", and this work was the first day of that. Such shows are also known for being broadcast on radio, and the air checks have become a standard. This work is also the same FM sound board, but it is a new master that updates the highest peak. It was recently announced by a core maniac overseas, and the key point is precise mastering. It seems that the youngest gene currently known is used, but the precision of the polishing is also amazing. Originally it was an air check recorded in mono on a stereo cassette, but the left and right channels were slightly different in storage conditions, and the better one was adopted. This involves removing hums and harmonics, stabilizing pitch, adjusting the balance by analyzing the range, correcting volume fluctuations, removing clicks, patching small chips below zero, repairing wow and flutter, etc. The number of work items and the accuracy of each one are extraordinary. It is comparable to the "GRAF ZEPPELIN" mastering that we often introduce in our shop. After reading this far, you may think, "Is the original in tatters?", but that is not the case. On the contrary. The original is so wonderful that you want to polish it up to this extent. It is a meticulous mastering that tickles the hearts of enthusiasts, who say, "If it's so great, I want to make it the ultimate form." In fact, the final version of this work is beautifully arranged and extremely natural. Although there is a fluctuation in the mix due to the original broadcast, the sound quality is not inferior to the official version "ACADEMY OF MUSIC 1974". On the contrary, this work is more natural. Annie's singing voice and John Thaut's live piano are so realistic that they seem to be playing in your head. The show depicted in this natural beauty of sound is different from ACADEMY OF MUSIC 1974. Let's compare the sets and organize them here. Burning Ashes: Can You Understand? / Let It Grow (★) / Ashes Are Burning Others: Prologue: Kiev (★) / Prologue: Card of Fate: Things I Don't Understand *Note: The "★" mark indicates a song that was not heard on the official ACADEMY OF MUSIC 1974 album. ... and so on. Due to the broadcast time frame, the performance time of about an hour does not seem like a full show, but the two great masterpieces "PROLOGUE" and "ASHES ARE BURNING" are concentrated and reduced. In addition to "Let It Grow" and "Kiev", you can also enjoy the early "Things I Don't Understand" that has not yet been released with the best sound. A unique symphonic rock woven with the beautiful voice of Annie Haslam, classical melodies and feeky ensemble. It's a masterpiece of a soundboard album that pours all of that directly into your brain. The ultimate beautiful sound that has been painstakingly polished by core enthusiasts. The finest soundboard recording of the "Rosslyn performance on April 3, 1974". The highest peak update master announced by overseas core enthusiasts, the careful mastering of "GRAF ZEPPELIN" is astounding. The sound is beautifully arranged yet extremely natural, and in terms of sound quality it is not inferior to the official album "ACADEMY OF MUSIC 1974", and the natural feeling of this work is superior. You can enjoy the precious "Let It Grow" and "Kiev" with the reality that Annie's singing voice and John Thout's live piano are sounding in your head.
