Led Zeppelin (2/Cd) Led Zeppelin / Houses Of The Holy Sessions

Recorded Live At Rolling Stones Mobile Studio Stargroves And Headley Grange Island Studios, London December 1972- August 1972. Digitally Remastered

1973 March The fifth album of Zeppelin was released. The Zeppelin albums up to that point had simply titled the title, and in the fourth album it was a simple thing that even the band name was not mentioned. The tight ring called “the sacred hall” was made only for the fifth time to them. It is said that the meaning that four members become “the house where the spirit lives” will be said. Recording began as soon as 1972, but after resuming in the Australia tour it will resume from April. After that, intermittent, including the recurring American tour, 1972 was devoted to the production of “the sacred building”.

While following the image of the past, the album has evolved into a song that gives the colorful impression of the twelve-string guitar’s tone as a flashy glitter. For the album that had been recorded with an emphasis on live feeling, “Sacred Hall” focused on overlapping overdubs, which was considerably incorporated.

Members prepared numerous songs for this album, but the songs that eventually lost their magazines were to be diverted to the next “physical graffiti”. That’s why the song “Sacred House” which is the same as the title of the album is included in “Physical Graffiti”. Others “Exhausted People”, “Black Country Women”, “Walters Walk”, etc. were found to be songs originally prepared for “Sacred Hall”. This work contains the session sound source of this 5th album “Sacred Hall”.

【BOMPAY REHARSAL】 India has a city called Mumbai. The former official name is Bombay. The plant goes to Bombay at least 4 times and is doing sessions with local musicians. Or they also talked about playing together at local clubs. Here we have included a session that was held when I visited Bombay in March 1972. Although the songs are two songs “Friends” and “Four Sticks”, they are pretty serious, they are taking a lot of take-ups, and even from a state of intense discussion, they were aiming for re-recording despite being already a song It is a fulfilling thing like that. Arrange full of Indian style taste is not transient interest, but the experiences of this time are reflected not only in “Kashimir” to be released later but also in the project of the 90’s Paige Plant.

【ROLLING STONES MOBILE STUDIO】 “Walter’s Walk” which was recorded and released in the “coder (final movement)” after dissolution was the sound source of the session at this time. The same song is recorded three take. Both are pretty rough take, but it is a wonderful take full of speed. The first track is musical instruments only, vocal entry is two take. Although there is a theory that the take recorded in the album “Coda (final movement)” was recorded only in vocals in 1982, as long as you listen to vocals you can listen here, you can approximate singing and voice quality And it seems that it was definitely recorded at this time in 1972.

【ISLAND STUDIOS in LONDON, MIXED at OLYMPIC STUDIOS】 “No Quarter” was recorded from 7 sessions from “Sacred Hall” session held in June 1972. Basically it is the sound matching of three people except the plant, especially John Paul Jones has confirmed the sound of Melotron carefully only by itself. Plant singing with participation, while still in the state of a provisional song, puts a strong effect on the vocal and puts out a mysterious atmosphere matching the tune. It is as if I am struggling to swim in the sea of ​​gelatin. In the release version, it also includes a sweeping Indian musical atmosphere.

【BOLESKINE HOUSE LOCH NESS, SCOTLAND】 Only for this session, it is after a release of the album “Sacred House” in time. In other words, it is not a session of “physical graffiti”, it can be said that it is an experimental musical session performed in the interval between both albums. Indeed, it is experimental music of unknown meaning. Jimmy Page which was trying such a strange visually or sound-soundly on the stage by the theremin or violin bow. Although it is unknown what kind of intention was recorded, the intention of trying a fusion of indian music and rock is still well transmitted.

【HOUSES OF THE HOLY SESSIONS】 This work, including the famous Bombay session, contains session sound sources around the album “Sacred House”. Songs with different tendencies and superimposed over the dubbing sounds of the 12 – string guitar brought about a greatly different musicality, which brought about the pros and cons of the world. The first song “Eternal Poetry” was chosen as the opening number in the 1977 Tour, “No Quarter” was a long time as a point of view of John Paul Jones at the stage, and “Dancing Days” etc. gained popularity on stage It is a song that it did. And at those stages it was a live performance as a matter of necessity, so it was a reproduction within the impossible overdub. Although it is a “holy building” which can not be said to be blessed with outtaking, still think that you can feel Zeppelin of “that era” as a recording artist that is not a stage in this work.

1973年3月ツェッペリンの5枚目のアルバムがリリースされた。それまでのツェッペリンのアルバムはタイトルは単純に番号を振ったのみで、4枚目のアルバムに至ってはバンド名すら記載されていないシンプルなものであった。それらに対し5枚目にして初めて『聖なる館』というタイトリングがなされた。これはメンバー4人が「精霊の棲む家」になるという意味が込められているという。レコーディングは1972年に入りすぐ開始されたのだが、オーストラリア・ツアーで一旦中断した後に、4月から再開。その後再度のアメリカン・ツアーを挟むなど、断続的にではあるが1972年を『聖なる館』の製作にあてられた。

アルバムはそれまでのイメージを踏襲しつつ、12弦ギターの音色が派手な煌びやかでカラフルな印象を与えてくれる楽曲に進化している。ライブ感に重点を置いてレコーディングされていたそれまでのアルバムに対し、『聖なる館』ではオーバーダブを重ねる事に重点を置き、かなり作り込まれたものであった。

メンバーはこのアルバムの為に数多くの楽曲を用意していたが、最終的に収録漏れとなった楽曲は次の『フィジカル・グラフィティ』に流用される事となった。アルバムのタイトルと同じ「聖なる館」という曲が『フィジカル・グラフィティ』に収録されているのもそのためである。その他「流浪の民」「黒い田舎の女」「ウォルターズ・ウォーク」なども本来『聖なる館』のために用意された楽曲である事が判明している。本作は、この5枚目のアルバム『聖なる館』のセッション音源を収録している。

【BOMPAY REHEARSAL】 インドにムンバイという都市がある。以前の公式名称をボンベイと言う。プラントは少なくとも4度ボンベイに渡り、現地のミュージシャンとセッションを行なっている。或いは現地のクラブで一緒に演奏をしたという話も伝わっている。ここでは1972年3月にボンベイを訪れた際に行なわれたというセッションを収録している。曲は「Friends」と「Four Sticks」の2曲であるが、いくつもテイクを重ねているかなり真剣なもので、激しいディスカッションの様子からも、既発曲でありながら、再レコーディングを目論んでいたかのような充実したものとなっている。いかにもインド風テイスト溢れるアレンジは、一過性の興味ではなく、後に発表される「Kashimir」は勿論の事、90年代ペイジ・プラントのプロジェクトにまでこの時の体験が色濃く反映されている。

【ROLLING STONES MOBILE STUDIO】 解散後の『コーダ（最終楽章）』に収録され発表された「Walter’s Walk」はこの時のセッションの音源であった。同曲が３テイク収録されている。いずれもかなりラフなテイクであるが、スピード感あふるる素晴らしいテイクである。最初のトラックは楽器のみで、ボーカル入りは２テイク。アルバム『コーダ（最終楽章）』収録のテイクは、ボーカルのみ1982年に録り直されたものではないかという説もあるが、ここで聴くことの出来るボーカルを聴く限り、歌いまわしや声質が近似しており、間違いなく1972年のこの時録音されたものだと思われる。

【ISLAND STUDIOS in LONDON, MIXED at OLYMPIC STUDIOS】 1972年6月に行なわれた『聖なる館』のセッションより、「No Quarter」を7テイク収録している。基本的にプラントを除いた3人の音合わせであり、特にジョン・ポール・ジョーンズは自身がメインなだけに入念にメロトロンの音色を確認している。プラントが参加しての歌入れは、まだ仮歌の状態ながら、ボーカルに強いエフェクトをかけて曲調に合った不可思議な雰囲気を出している。ゼラチンの海を泳ぎもがいているかのような感じである。リリース・バージョンでは一掃されたインド音楽的な雰囲気も加味されている。

【BOLESKINE HOUSE LOCH NESS, SCOTLAND】 このセッションのみ、時期的にはアルバム『聖なる館』リリース後のものである。かといって『フィジカル・グラフィティ』のセッションというわけでもなく、両アルバムの狭間で行なわれた実験音楽的なセッションであるといえる。なるほど、意味不明の実験的な音楽である。ステージ上でテルミンやバイオリンボウで視覚的にも、また効果音的にも、このような奇をてらった試みをしていたジミー・ペイジである。どのような意図でレコーディングされたのか不明であるが、やはりインド音楽とロックの融合的なものを試みている意図は良く伝わってくる。

【HOUSES OF THE HOLY SESSIONS】 本作は、有名なボンベイ・セッションを含め、アルバム『聖なる館』前後のセッション音源を収録している。傾向を変えて12弦ギターの煌びやかな音色にオーバーダブを重ねた楽曲は、それまでと大きく異なる音楽性をもたらし、世間の賛否両論を生んだ。1曲目の「永遠の詩」は1977年ツアーではオープニング・ナンバーに選ばれ、また「No Quarter」はステージでジョンポールジョーンズの見せ場として長く時間が割かれ、「Dancing Days」などもステージで人気を博した楽曲である。そしてそれらステージでは当然ライブ演奏なのでオーバーダブは不可能な中での再現であった。アウトテイクに恵まれているとは言い難い『聖なる館』であるが、それでも本作で、ステージではないレコーディング・アーティストとして「その時代」のツェッペリンを感じてもらえたらと思う。美しいピクチャーディスク仕様の永久保存がっちりプレス盤。日本語帯付。
