Live at Berns Salonger, Stockholm May 2nd. 1968

Escuchando su modo encendido, sólido e intenso de cantar, resulta difícil creer que la Reina del Soul luego admitiera haber estado un poco nerviosa esa noche.

Características de la Restauración: Sin compresión. No se han usado filtros. Se re balancearon los volúmenes internos de cada tema por deficiencias en la toma original.
Los arreglos orquestales (en especial la línea del contrabajo, del piano y sonoridad de la orquesta), y armónicos de la voz del cantante han sido recuperados y pueden escucharse en balance sonoro con total transparencia y definición por primera vez en 68 años. Sonidos saturados provenientes de la grabación original han sido reparados.

In May 1968 Aretha Franklin, in her best form, arrived in Europe for her first overseas tour and made her debut in Amsterdam, where the crowd went crazy.
From that European tour of Aretha Franklin and her orchestra, Lantower Records presents the Restoration of the May 2, 1968 Concert that took place at the Berns Salonger in Stockolmo
Listening to her fiery, solid and intense singing, it is hard to believe that the Queen of Soul would then admit to having been a little nervous that night.

Restoration Features: No compression. No filters used. The internal volumes of each theme were rebalanced for deficiencies in the original shot.
The orchestral arrangements (especially the line of the double bass, piano and sonority of the orchestra), and harmonics of the singer’s voice have been recovered and can be heard in sound balance with total transparency and definition for the first time in 68 years. Saturated sounds from the original recording have been repaired.
