REVIEW: |
This new
release presents the Stones 1972 Akron stop, this concert was released at first
on tape as Akron ’72 on silver disc at first as Akron Rubber Bowl 72 (IMP 029)
which was incomplete lacking Street Fighting Man and on cdr as Akron 72, later
a better version came out as part of Alabama Jubilee (VGP 306) and then another
release called Rubber Bowl 1972 (Sweet Records 71172) which was a good one
showing a great improvement over the VGP one, offering an audience high
fidelity stereo recording of the show, as advertised on the back cover. Other
releases of this concert were Touring Party Vol.3 (DAC 126) in 2013 and then came
out Exiles In Rubber City (Tarantura TCDRS-13) from the original master (Freezer
recording) with the sound very clear and Nicky Hopkins piano hat could be heard
throughout, even the opening number did not have a lower volume than the rest
of the set as on the Sweet Records release. Lately in 2021 came out Akron, July
11th 1972 on cdr, an unprocessed recording as proudly written on the
back cover. This revised edition has the original Freezer tape without
equalization that was applied to all the previous versions, it was actually
released in 2020 but turned out to be sold out, so this is a re-release that
has also fixed some parts like Sweet Virginia that was distorted before due to
the original tape having aged; now it sounds fine as the rest that make this recording
similar to the famous Charlotte 72 recording.
Some PA
problems happened at the beginning of Tumbling Dice with the sound that
disappears on the first verses of the song with the disappointment of the
attending fans, here minimized as far as possible. The cut right before the
beginning of You Can’t Always Get What You Want is here less evident than
before and there is also Jagger’s introduction of the song. There is no edit
right before All Down The Line where Jagger’s and an audience member comments were
repeated twice in the Sweet Records release, unnoticed is also the cut at 5.19
minutes through Midnight Rambler but still present though at the end of the
song a male voice close to the taper shouting “Paint It Black, You Devilâ€. Packaging
is excellent, for what has proved to be a radical improvement of this gig’s
recording.
