Product Description

The Beatles' masterpiece "White Album" SGT. Label 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition 2nd "Rarities Collection" is now available! This time, as the title suggests, it is a compilation of rare "White Album" sound sources, and the CD contains phantom extremely rare US first press stereo sound sources and US edited rare sound sources that are sealed. George, who listened to the Capitol version just before the release of the album in the United States, discarded it as "the sound is different" and discarded the master of the US First Press original disc with all the songs completely recorded on CD for the first time. As it is called a compressed mix, the sound pressure is high, and the overall mono-like powerful and emphasized sound texture is a dynamic sound that is typical of the 60's Capitol, which is different from the British original stereo. In addition, 7 short versions from the US Open Reel sound source are also included. In addition, the remastered sound source on the US Capitol compilation board is also additionally recorded. And DVD1 contains all four types of album sound sources as a "listening comparison sound source collection". The original analog stereo sound source and the US first press sound source similar to the CD, the backing track sound source with the vocals and instruments separated and dismantled, and the monaural sound source with the original British open reel sound source are recorded in DVD audio format. As a DVD audio option, it can be said that it is a format that cannot be overlooked for sound source research, where you can listen to and compare the differences in the sound source by selecting the audio. DVD2 is a "video video collection" that includes "Hey Jude" and other TV broadcast versions that were not included in the first "TV broadcast". In addition, outtakes from the Rolling Stones' TV special "Rock 'n' Roll Circus" starring John and Yoko are included, including a rare workprint version and an unreleased version from a different angle. Following the first "Alternate Collection", this is the second definitive collector's edition of the ultimate compilation series that summarizes the sound and video of the latest edits!
[Details]
"Rarities Collection" is the second "White Album" from the SGT. label, which has been releasing 50th anniversary collector's editions on an album-by-album basis. This time, we have included rare sound sources that are currently difficult to obtain, as well as rare videos that have not been recorded in the first installment. The two CDs contain a sealed phantom ultra-rare US First Press stereo sound source, an edited US Open Reel sound source, and a Capitol remastered sound source. In October '68, before the release of the White Album, George Harrison, who was in the United States, listened to the US Capitol record, but did not like the cutting master and discarded the original lacquer record because it "sounded different". Only a very small number of US First Presses, which used discarded masters that were supposed to have been newly remastered, remade, and pressed, but have not been replaced by a very small number of factories, are distributed. The matrix suffix number 34 or higher is said to be the new standard pressing, and here it is the first CD with all the songs completely recorded from the US First Press original analog original with the suffix number 28/29. As it is called a compressed mix, the sound pressure is high, and the overall mono-like powerful and emphasized sound texture is a dynamic sound that is typical of the Capitol of the 60s, which is different from the UK original stereo, and it completely reproduces the first edition of the phantom extremely rare sound source that is now traded at a high price as a sound source that should not have seen the light of day. In addition, from the US Open Reel sound source, all 7 songs are recorded that have been boldly shortened and made into short versions in order to balance the recording time. In addition, remixes and remastered sound sources made for later US Capitol compilations are also included, and all US Capitol sound sources that have become valuable are now collected on CD. DVD1 contains all four types of sound sources in DVD audio format as a "listening comparison sound source collection". A flat original analog stereo sound source that has not been remastered from the MFSB original, an extremely rare US first press sound source that is also included on the CD, and a backing track sound source that has become a naked mix by separating and dismantling the vocals and instruments. These three sound sources are available as a DVD audio option, and you can listen to and compare the differences between each sound source in the audio selection. If you listen to and compare them with this, you will be able to enjoy the difference between the US first press sound source and the normal stereo sound source while switching. DVD2 is a "video video collection" that includes "TV Broadcasts" such as "The Smothers Brothers Show" and "Hey Jude" rehearsals on "Experimental in TV" with the TV broadcast version that was not included in the first installment. In addition, outtakes from the Rolling Stones' TV special "Rock 'n' Roll Circus" in which John and Yoko appeared are included, including a valuable workprint version that is different from the official video and an unreleased version from a different angle. It's a rare record of John's miraculous co-starring with Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Mitch Mitchell. Following on from the first "Alternate Collection", the ultimate "White Album" compilation SGT. Label 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition, which is a must-see content this time! This is the second installment of the collector's attention!
