Content introduction
His first solo work released in 1975 was Beck's masterpiece and a monumental guitar instrumental that achieved success all over the world, reaching number 4 in the United States. With George Martin as producer, this is a masterpiece that shines brightly in the history of rock, reaching an unprecedented level with its innovative jazz-rock approach, sharp and ever-changing techniques, and well-rounded songs. To commemorate the performance in Japan in April, this work will be released for the first time in Japan as an ``SA-CD multi-hybrid edition'' (=SA-CD 5.1ch, SA-CD 2ch, CD) + Japan's unique ``7-inch paper jacket''. ”. SA-CD 5.1 is based on the 4ch disc (quadraphonic) that appeared in the 1970s, and is remixed to 5.1 for SA-CD.It is a masterpiece with an amazing surround mix and high sound quality that is different from regular stereo discs. You can enjoy it. (If you listen to a specific panned sound, it's as vivid as if you were listening to the live sound being recorded!) The CD also uses conversion from an SA-CD (2ch) master for the first time. -Enjoy natural sound images that are extremely close to CDs. The "Hybrid Edition", which was once released exclusively in the UK, has been traded at a high price for many years due to its rarity, but now it is finally available in a Japan-specific version!
