[2CD] DIGITAL ARCHIVES PROMOTION [DAPAP006CD1/2]

★BBC Stereo Masters first appearance. Unlike broadcasting, it is reproduced in a complete version without DJs before and after each song. All songs recorded in real stereo by the latest AI remaster.
★Recorded in the latest remastered stereo version of the TV broadcast soundboard sound source at the time, which reproduced the performance in Japan in the first year of 1970 in the actual concert song order.
★Precious 1970 Blackpool performances in England are also recorded with new upgraded sound sources.

The latest edited live collection from Mary Hopkin, whose first single "Those Were The Days" was a worldwide hit when it debuted on the Beatles' APPLE label in 1968, is now available. LIVE AT THE BBC STEREO MASTERS" is a new BBC source that includes interviews and DJ talks, but unlike the original broadcasts, each song is recorded in its entirety with no voice-over interruptions. All songs are also included in real stereo versions, remastered with the latest AI editing. Also included is a rare performance with British folk legend and guitarist Bert Jansch. This is the latest edited edition of Mary Hopkin's BBC Live, with better sound quality than ever before." LIVE IN JAPAN OSAKA EXPO 1970" is a newly edited and stereo remastered complete recording of the now rare first live performance in Japan at the Osaka Expo. The original TV broadcast was not in the actual order of the songs, and a set list based on the program material was later published in book form, but here, based on the concert experience and testimonies of the time, the song order of the opening "The Joy of Love," followed by a solo acoustic set, then Gallagher & Lyle's collaboration, and then the orchestra's addition, is recorded. The music is recorded in the order of the stage progression, with Gallagher & Lyle performing together, and the orchestra joining in. Although there are no exact data available at the time, this is almost a reproduction of the actual set list. This is Mary Hopkin's first visit to Japan, where she demonstrated her ability with a repertoire of songs that could only be performed live, including three Beatles numbers that had not been released on recordings at the time, and folk covers such as "Donna Donna" and "Light and Shadow of Youth. Like the Beatles' Japan tour, this is a very valuable archival record that was broadcast on TV at the time and should not be missed." BLACKPOOL U.K. 1970" is an excellent audience recording of the Blackpool show on August 14 from the tour that took place in the U.K. immediately after the first show in Japan. This is a rare live recording of Mary Hopkin's brilliant live performances from the late 60's to the 70's. This is the latest collection of the Beatles and Apple collectors' favorites!
