LP 1: Live-Studio-Einschpielung direkt auf die Schneidemaschine (Direktschnitt-LP) LP 2: Die gleiche Live-Studio-Einschpielung von LP 1 auf eine 24-Spur, 1/2"-Tonbandmaschine mit 30 ips und von da auf LP geschnitten DVD über you tube: A Behind The Look At How The Album Were Created Michael Fremer's 100 Recommended All-Analog LP Reissues Worth Owning - Rated 96/100! Aufnahmen in den AiScenesr Studios, London, UK. Eins gleich vorweg. Auch wenn man kein Big Band Fan ist, mit dieser Edition wird man es. Gleich beim Opener "Sing Sing Sing“ wird man in den Sucht-Bann gezogen. Hier trifft musikalisches Können und Leidenschaft auf Präzision und Emotion. Mit viel Verve und Empathie führt Syd Lawrence sein Orchester. Dieses Orchester gilt nicht zu Unrecht als DIE britische Top-Big Band. Eindrucksvoll ist das auf dem sauberst gepressten Vinyl nachzuhören. Hier groovt und schiebt es, dass es eine wahre Freude ist. Das Zusammenspiel von Basser Tom Mark und dem energiegeladenen Drummer Dave Tandy ist phänomenal. Es macht richtig Freude dem variantenreichen Rhythmus-Duo zuzuhören. Man kann auch unschwer die Freude spüren, die die Musiker beim Einspielen dieses Albums gehabt müssen. Eine wunderschöne, melancholische Zeitreise gibt es mit Glenn Millers "In The Mood“. "American Patrol“ swingt, und lässt einen schier nicht ruhig sitzen. Pianist Trevor Brown lässt herrliche blue notes perlen. Unaufdringlich, aber im entscheidenden Moment voll präsent. Das Arrangement der Bläsersätze ist Weltklasse. Die Trompeten, Saxophone und Posaunen tanzen stilsicher und spannungsgeladen miteinander einen sehr heißen Tanz. Was diese Doppel-LP aber erst richtig Klasse macht ist der Sound. Hä, welcher Sound? Man kann hier nämlich wählen, ob man sich die Aufnahmen “Direct To Vinyl Disc“ oder “Multi Track Analogue Tape Recording And Mix Down“ anhören möchte. Beide Versionen liegen im Doppel-Album vor. Das ist total spannend und für High-End-Friends ein absolutes Muss. Zusätzlich ist dem Ganzen ein Internet-Link zu Filmaufnahmen beigelegt. Hier kann man die Entstehungsgeschichte sehr gut nachvollziehen. Herrlich in das Studio quasi mithineinzugehen. In diesem Studio, das ursprünglich eine Kirche war, arbeitete auch schon Gründer George Martin. Man ist Zeuge der Mikrofonierung und man kann Producer Mike Valentine, Balance Engineer Jake Jackson, Cutting Engineer John Webber und Studio Engineer Tim Vine-Lott über die Schulter schauen. Ein herrlicher Anblick ist das gigantische analoge Mischpult. Diese Offenbarung an wundervoller Musik, finalem super high end Sound und analoger Spitzen-Technik ist woanders kaum zu finden. Man kann natürlich nicht sagen, wo die live eingespielte LP besser klingt. Es gibt nur andere Schwerpunkte. Letztlich entscheidet der eigene Geschmack. Das “Analogue Tape Recording“ ist ingesamt geschlossener, konservativer und bildet den Klangkörper in seiner Gesamtheit, gerade bei den Bläsersätzen kompakter ab. Die “Direct To Disc“- Variante ist dynamischer, mit mehr Feinauflösung und spritziger. Sie bildet auch das Schlagzeug, vor allem die Becken, luftiger ab. Beide Varianten haben was. Welche Seiten sie öfter auflegen wollen, entscheiden Sie. Falsch machen können Sie nichts. Außer Sie kaufen diese tolle Edition erst gar nicht. Aufnahmen über Gefell-, AKG- und Flea-Röhrenmikrofone direkt auf einer Neumann VMS 80 Schneidemaschine. Schnitt direkt auf Vinyl innerhalb eines einzigen Tages durch Mike Valentine, Eigentümer von Chasing The Dragon Records. *********************************************************************************************** Titel: Side A: 1.

Anvil Chorus DVD: A Behind The Scenes Look At How The Album Were Created ************************************************************************************************* Rezension: Mike Valentines Begeisterungsfähigkeit macht ihn vermutlich auch zum wahren Überredungskünstler – sonst ist kaum zu erklären, wie ein gerade erst gegründetes audiophiles Label dazu kommt, Englands seit Jahrzehnten populärste Big Band aufzunehmen. 1967 vom Trompeter und Swing-Fan Syd Lawrence gegründet, exisitierte das inzwischen zur nationalen Institution gewordene Orchester auch weiter, als jener sich mit Anfang Siebzig aus gesundheitlichen Gründen zurückziehen mußte; derzeit wird es von Chris Dean geleitet. Für das Album ließ Valentine die Band einfach ein "normales" Set spielen – sprich: ein Programm aus acht Klassikern der Orchester von Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman und Artie Shaw. Nummern wie "Moonlight Serenade", "Begin The Beguine", "In The Mood" oder "Little Brown Jug". Der besondere Clou: Valentine nahm die Session parallel zweimal auf. Einmal als Direktschnitt, einmal "klassisch" auf Tonband, von dem dann die zweite LP geschnitten wurde. Viel Spaß beim Vergleichen…! (Man kann aber auch einfach nur zuhören, sich an den unglaublichen klanglichen Details freuen und sich bei geschlossenen Augen vorstellen, tatsächlich direkt vor der Band zu stehen – das funktioniert in beiden Versionen!)

But the dynamics on offer from a 16 piece brass/woodwind, piano, bass and drum powered band is in another league to a chamber orchestra. This release lets you know all about it without the razor sharp mid and treble normally associated with trying to capture this much energy on two channels. Highly recommended even if you’ve never heard of Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw or Benny Goodman. Jason Kennedy The Ear Review "Both discs sound extraordinarily vibrant, alive, and real, and if the comparison between tape and D2D wasn't so instantly available you would be more than happy with the tape based version that was cut from 24 track, two-inch tape mixed down to half inch tape at 30 IPS. But putting on the D2D reveals just how incredibly natural, warm and effortless vinyl can sound at its best. This pressing has a depth and richness of tone that's irresistible, and even seems to 'time' better than its tape-mastered counterpart. Given big bands were all about precise timing, that's saying a lot!" - Hi-Fi+ Magazine • Double LP & DVD • LP 1: Direct Cut to Vinyl • LP 2: Same session via 24-track mixdown to 1/2" tape @ 30ips • DVD - behind the scenes look at how the albums were created As well as great sound engineering from Jake Jackson at the Air Recording studios in London, made famous by George Martin, it is the brilliance of cutting lathe engineer John Webber really excels in this recording for me. , this is an art. The operator needs to continually adjust the gap between each groove on the record; if the gaps between the groove are too small then the recording will be ruined as there won’t be enough depth in the groove for dynamics and stereo, and if the gaps are too great then you won’t fit four tracks on each side. Both LPs are excellent recordings, with frequency response and musicality showing off the true greatness of analogue. This is a truly good example of what an LP should be, and you will be able to decide for yourself which recording you feel is the best. For me, direct cut discs will always be my nirvana, and the extended frequency response and headroom on the 12″ plastic is apparent from the very start. This is a very special recording, and something I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending to hifi and music lovers alike. As Mike Valentine beautifully puts it “It’s better than sex, it’s wonderful.” HIFI Pig About a year ago, I created a direct cut recording of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons (a truly remarkable slab of vinyl). We were lucky enough to receive some great press and have now sold over two thousand copies worldwide. This created the question of what to release next. I have always loved big band jazz and in particular, the music of Glen Miller, Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman. After doing some research, one band in particular kept coming out on top. This was the Syd Lawrence Orchestra With a direct cut the band has to play live from the first to the last track on each side. Any mistakes and it is back to the beginning again. With all of their radio work and concert appearances, the band seemed to be ideally suited to the task. I therefore approached their leader, Chris Dean and explained what I would like to do. He was immediately excited with the idea of creating a record, as opposed to a CD, because a lot of the band’s followers have been asking when were they are going to release a vinyl record. Chris was also up for the challenge of the live recording approach. A direct cut record We contacted Air studios and I hired the same hall and technicians as I had used before on the Four Seasons recording. In particular, John Webber , the cutting engineer was again available, as was the same sound mixer Jake Jackson The day came round. We all arrived at the studio and the vinyl gods must have been smiling on us, because everything went well. We cut four tracks in the morning for side A and four tracks for side B in the afternoon. I always want to push the envelope, so decided to release the album as a double LP. The second LP to be created with a twenty four track two inch Studer tape recorder, running at 30 inches per second. This we mixed down to my half inch tape, again running at 30 IPS, which became the master tape from which the second record was cut. This means that one record will be the direct cut and the second a record of exactly the same session cut from the analogue tape version. People will therefore be able to compare these two techniques from exactly the same session, the direct cut, versus the more conventional analogue mix down and mastering version of events. What will the differences be? Well, hopefully, we should all know soon enough. LP 1 & 2: Side A: 1. Sing Sing Sing 2. Moonlight Serenade 3. Begin the Beguine 4. American Patrol Side B: 1.
