ヴァン・ダー・グラフ・ジェネレーター - エアゾール・グレイ・マシーン:発表50周年記念デラックス・エディション - リマスター

(新品 / 輸入国内仕様/2CD+LP+7"") 価格:9,504円(税込)

“英国プログレッシヴ・ロック 裏の帝王” 幻の'69年デビュー作『エアゾール・グレイ・マシーン』発表50周年記念デラックス・ボックス』が帯・ライナー付国内盤仕様で発売決定!!
【帯:ライナー付輸入盤(英Esoteric Recordings原盤)仕様/ボーナス・トラック10曲収録予定/リマスター/CD+LP+7"(2CD+LP+7")4枚組/英文ブックレット対訳付】

強固な精神と世界観を反映した尖鋭的な音楽性で、今だ全世界のプログレッシヴ・ロックファンから人気の高い奇才ピーター・ハミル(vo/g/p)率いる“英国プログレッシヴ・ロック 裏の帝王”:ヴァン・ダ・-グラーフ・ジェネレイター。彼らのデビュー作にして幻のスタジオ作である'69年作『エアゾール・グレイ・マシーン』がCD+LP+7"を収録した発表50周年記念豪華ボックスとして発売決定!!

契約を交わすも直後に解散したため、所属レーベル:英マーキュリーから契約遂行要求により急遽メンバーを集め制作、しかも発売当時は、テスト・プレスまで制作されながら英本国での発売を見送られ、北米のみ発売された曰く付きの異色作。
ヒュー・バントン(organ/p/per/vo)のオルガン、本作のみに参加/後にクーバス、ジューシー・ルーシーで活躍するキース・エリス(b)を加えたバンド編成に顕著な同時期のサイケデリック/オルガン・ロックからの影響を強く反映しつつ、ナイーヴかつ内省的なピーター・ハミルの歌詞/歌唱、破綻と構築の狭間を揺れ動くバンド・アンサンブル/楽曲展開等々、後の音楽性も随所にうかがえる内容。前記の英国テスト盤はマニア垂涎の超コレクターズ・アイテム、一般発売された米国オリジナル盤も現在はレア・アイテムの上、独Repertoire Records/英Fie! Recordsから'97年に共に発表された2度に渡る復刻CDも近年入手困難だったにも関わらず、シングル・カットされた'Necromancer''Afterwards'や'Octopus'等々同時期のライヴでも披露される代表曲を収録した、バンドの最初期を彩るバンド及びプログレ・ファン必携の1枚。

今回のボックスにはCD2枚及び180g重量盤アナログのLP、及び7"シングルを収録。
CD:Disc1は'97年Fie!Records盤に準じ、'69年作本編及び同作北米プロモ盤にのみ収録された'Giant Squid'と同時期の未発表曲'Ferret And Featherbird'を、CD:Disc2には今回初登場となる'Firebrand''Sunshine'の'67年デモ音源/'68年BBC放送用スタジオ・セッション音源からの'Octopus'ライヴ音源を含む'69年英ポリドール盤シングル音源及びデモ/BBC放送用セッション音源をそれぞれ収録。
LP及び7"シングルは、共に'69年マーキュリー盤スタジオ作及びポリドール盤シングルをオリジナルに可能な限り忠実に復刻再現。さらに、当時の貴重写真とピーター・ハミルによる回想録/シド・スミスによる新規バイオグラフィーを掲載したアナログ・サイズ大のカラー・ブックレットを添付。

収録マスターは全てリマスター音源を使用、さらにLPのジャケットは前述の幻の英国テスト・プレス盤デザインでの復刻、加えてピーター・ハミルのデザインによる本ボックス用オリジナル・カラー・ポスターまで添付/同梱された、まさに記念盤に相応しいバンド・ファン/マニア必携のボックスです!!(Disk Union)

クラシカルな荘厳さに加え重厚でヘヴィーな展開を見せた後期の傑作ですね。
マシュー・フィッシャーが去り、ロビン・トロワーのギターが全開です。そのロビンもこれを最後にグループを去ることになるのでした。

ノート:
Mad Dogs & Englishmen is a live album by Joe Cocker, released in 1970. The album's title is drawn from the 1931 Noël Coward song of the same name. Only four songs of the sixteen on the original album were drawn from his first two studio albums. Besides the contributions of band-mate Leon Russell, it draws equally from rock (the Rolling Stones, Traffic, Bob Dylan, the Beatles) and soul (Ray Charles, Sam and Dave, Otis Redding). Accompanying Cocker is a choir, a three-piece horn section and several drummers.

The single, "The Letter"/"Space Captain", recorded during rehearsals was released to coincide with the tour. The album yielded the single "Cry Me a River"/"Give Peace a Chance."

According to the liner notes, Cocker needed to put together a band quickly for a U.S. tour that his management had organized. Russell recruited the musicians, many from his prior dealings with Delaney and Bonnie (Rita Coolidge, Carl Radle, Jim Price, Jim Horn and Jim Gordon) and The Wrecking Crew (Jim Keltner). Chris Stainton was held over from Cocker's Grease Band and Cocker's producer Denny Cordell was part of the backing vocalists.

Pete Nartez's review in Rolling Stone was generally negative, assessing that the album was "formed on a few days' notice to meet contractual obligations, and sounds like, well, like a group that was formed on a few days' notice to meet contractual obligations." He praised the tracks "Feelin' Alright", "Give Peace a Chance", and "Delta Lady", but criticised the majority of the arrangements and said that the album lacks stylistic variety. A more recent review of the box set in the magazine was more positive, calling the band "a pickup orchestra with saloon-soul swagger."

In a retrospective review for Allmusic, Bruce Eder praised the album for the unique sound created by the unconventionally large rock band. He noted that Joe Cocker's creative presence on the album was drowned out by that of Leon Russell, but held that this was not a bad thing.
