Following the previous release of 1969 Boston, this album also includes rare recordings from the 1969 US tour. DISC 1 is the well-known performance of the New York MSG on November 27th, but this time the matrix source is the first CD of the famous high-quality AUD sound source "BROADWAY" (DAC-092) and the mono SB sound source released on CD in VOL.3 of this 1969 series. The SB sound source has a low volume of the noise microphone on the audience side, which is a little lacking in realism, while the "BROADWAY" sound source is a good recording that picks up the performance from the PA, but also clearly captures the reaction of the audience. By synchronizing and mixing these two sources, a new sound space that has never been experienced before is created. Although the SB sound source does not have two guitars neatly separated to the left and right, both sources have been newly remastered and put together by the person who created the stereo version of that 1969 live, and this is a product that shines with the latest synchronization technology and good sense of remastering. The film shooting on the first day of MSG69 and the tension of the band during the live recording are faithfully reproduced with the highest sound quality ever. There is a moment of synchronization error in "I'm Free" where Taylor's phrase sounds like a twin lead, but that's just the way it is.
DISC 2 also contains a stereo remix of the sound source of the free concert held in Hyde Park, London in July before the winter US tour of 1969. Perhaps following the example of the BBC Rock and Roll Circus the previous year (the music part was recorded on three tracks by engineer Glyn Johns), it was multi-track recorded using an 8-track mobile recording unit. Since Decca Records, which Mick Taylor was affiliated to at the time, did not have such a recording broadcast vehicle system, a mobile unit from Pye Records, Decca's rival company, was used. This Hyde Park performance, which was Mick Taylor's first participation, was filmed, and the footage was aired on Granada TV in the UK at the time, and has been released on video and DVD many times. For the latest Blu-ray release, this 8-track multi-tape, which had been lying dormant in a warehouse for many years, was stereo-remixed for the first time and used for the soundtrack. However, due to a production error caused by telecining the PAL film to NTSC format, the mastering was done at a speed about a semitone slower than the actual performance. This was pointed out by someone who had seen the trailer in advance, and instead of re-telecining it at the correct speed, a restored version was released by electrically raising the audio part of the completed master by a semitone to alleviate the discomfort. Although the pitch was correct, the tempo was a semitone slower, which was a strange release, and these defects were never corrected afterwards. In this work, the stereo remix sound source of Hyde Park, which followed such an unfortunate path (lol), is recorded for the first time with the correct pitch and the actual tempo of the performance.
The second half of DISC 2 is a collection of precious sound sources from the performance of the BBC TV program "TOP OF THE POPS", which is also a rare BBC TV program. As with the radio appearance records, there are many videos on BBC-TV that were not archived and were discarded after airing, and the last two songs from the 1971 appearance (although they are air check sources, they have been significantly upgraded from the previous releases) and RUBY TUESDAY, which was recorded on the same day as Tk-11 in the 1967 appearance, have also been erased. Many of the recordings are first-time appearances and include takes that include exchanges with the presenter, making this an excellent resource. If you listen closely to the four takes of "HONKY TONK WOMEN," you will find that the vocal takes are different and the length of the orchestra is different, which will be the key to understanding how much effort was put into promoting this song. This work is a culmination of the high-quality performances that represent 1969 and the TV archive recordings from before and after that era.
