REVIEW: |
This
release of the Hampton 81 concert comes from a no label which got Art Collins
Tapes version that was compiled from 2 track monitor mixes of the whole show, 4
years after all the other tracks from his collection came out. When it was
discovered at first it was thought to be just the FM or TV recording, but it
turned out to be a live broadcast that did not go through either with a unique
mix balance in outstanding quality; the sound output is very clear, so much so
that it could easily have been released officially, better than what came out
10 years ago. It has been remastered at 96 kHz-32 bit all sounding natural and
fresh, very different from the harsh official one; no instrument here stands
out, but since only 2 cassette tapes were found that means there were some cuts
and in order to compensate that the official parts have been filled in
meticulously, it seems on Just My Imagination, Little T&A and Hang Fire, but
there are some changes at the joints since the original mixing balance and tone
were different, so the end result is the best stereo version that make the
previous bootlegs and even the official release pale despite the (then) new mix
by Bob Clearmountain which some fans considered to be brickwalled, aimed at
I-Phone, I-Pad and Tablet owners. The intro, Take The A Train, is different
from past versions, it seems to have the live audience microphones and no
overlapping sound from the dressing room or announcer’s voice as on the video
and some cds; even the sound effects at the end of the Outro are 10 seconds
longer than on Twenty Flight Rock (VGP 270) including C.Berry’s School Days. The
only down being Keith Richards still pretty low in the mix. Packaging is great as
usual on these releases.
