Since the beginning of this year, in the world of rare Floyd recordings, enthusiasts have been producing wonderful versions of stereo matrix sound sources that make full use of multiple audience recordings at one performance, and the matrix version of Boblingen in 1972 has just been released on CD. Such attempts have been attempted by many artists' sound sources among enthusiasts for some time, but recently, with the improvement of the performance of sound source software and its ease of use, matrix versions that produce a highly complete stereo feeling have appeared on the Internet. Among them, the stereo matrix version of the Rolling Stones' 1969 Oakland second show sound source is attracting a lot of attention. Speaking of the Oakland second show, everyone remembers the Stones' first bootleg in history, "LIVE'R THAN YOU'LL EVER BE". More than that, the high quality of the sound source recorded on "LIVE'R THAN~" as an audience recording is legendary. The LP was made by a person who later ran a label called TMOQ. Ken and Dub are two people who seem to have been quite recognized among enthusiasts in the 2010s. The duo released "LIVE'R THAN..." after Bob Dylan's "GREAT WHITE WONDER," famous as the first bootleg in rock history. This recording boasts exceptional quality for the 1969 audience, and Dub used a shotgun microphone to capture the performance rather than the surrounding sounds. TMOQ label recordings The anecdotes about the album and how it led to the release of the official "GET YER YA-YA'S OUT" are well known. What is most surprising is that the value of the items and recordings has not faded at all even after their official appearance. On the contrary, Dub's recordings have continued to be released in various forms even in recent years. This is proof of how outstanding the recordings were. This recording will be referred to as the Dub recording below. Promoter-owned SBD A soundboard recording of the same show appeared in the mid-80s as an unexpected rival to this amazingly long-lived recording. This was recorded for record purposes by Bill Graham, who organized the Oakland show, and was broadcast on the radio as a promotion when the Stones toured America again in 1972. The LP "OAKLAND SIXTY-NINE" with a black and white jacket brought to light the existence of a soundboard recording of Oakland 69, a masterpiece released in two black and white jackets, Mick singing and Keith Flying V. Therefore, it was a highly acclaimed sound source by enthusiasts, but since the dub recording had a longer recording of the whole show, it did not exist enough to kick it out. This is called SBD. The third recording Interestingly, both the dub recording and the SBD had great appeal, so Oakland 69 became an unusual pattern in which the two types of sound sources continued to coexist, a unique situation that did not change even in the 21st century. Normally, the SBD would be considered the definitive version, but both continued to be preferred. However, in 2010, a different recording audience sound source was discovered. Although it is not quite a dub recording, this one also boasted a quality that goes quite well. What made this sound source more welcomed by enthusiasts is that it contained many scenes that were not captured in the previous two types of sound sources. This is called the third source. This sound source has been released on gift CD-R in the past, and DAC labels have also released a compilation of the three types of sound sources. In contrast, the sound source that enthusiasts have put up on the Internet this time is basically a stereo matrix version with two types of audience (dub recording + third source). As has already been a big topic, the improvement in stereo feeling and sound quality this time is really wonderful. Both types of audience boasted an incredible level of sound quality for 1969, but after all, it was a mono recording. It is true that the texture was dark and gloomy. However, by making it stereo this time, it has been reborn into a bright and spacious sound quality at once, which is surprising. If you play it back with headphones, you will be overwhelmed by the incredible stereo feeling. Only the beginning of "Under My Thumb" has a third source, so only this part will be recorded in mono, but that will make you realize the outstanding finish of this time. In addition, the periodic recording loss of the opening "Jumping Jack Flash", which was a fatal flaw in dub recording, has naturally become less noticeable, and the MC between songs, which sounded lower in volume than the performance, has evolved into the highest quality stereo version that can be heard with a stable balance. The matrix processing of the two acoustic songs showed the outstanding sense of the mania that produced it. In these parts, SBD was mixed, and the balance of Mick's vocals, which was far away in various audience recordings because of the quiet performance, was successfully improved. The surprisingly natural finish is also a masterpiece. He also used SBD in "Live With Me", demonstrating his outstanding sense. Although this is the stereo matrix version of the second show of Oakland 69, which is full of good things, there was a big pitfall. Contrary to the precise synthesis of the sound source, the pitch was recorded in a raised state. Since it was a wonderful finish, I wanted them to do it without any mistakes regarding the pitch. This is just a pity. Therefore, for this release, we precisely adjusted the pitch at our shop. Since it is a hot topic, it is essential that other items are released. However, this title is the only version that has been properly corrected to the pitch. This week, a masterpiece of audience recording from the 1969 US tour, which forms a pair with the soundboard masterpiece "GET YER YA-YA'S OUT! COMPLETE EDITION", is released!
