        <title>What the EP (Extended Playing) Originally Stands For (2 comments)</title>
        <description><![CDATA[<p lang="ja">
<a href="http://books.google.co.jp/" target="_blank">Google Books</a> 上で <a href="http://books.google.co.jp/books/serial/ISSN:00062510?rview=1&hl=ja" target="_blank">The Billboard</a> （米「ビルボード」誌）のバックナンバーが1942年のものからほぼ全て閲覧可能になっています。これにより、レーベル、レコード製造、アーティストの動向など、当時のレコード業界のさまざまな側面の歴史を調査するのが格段に楽になりました。これまでは、図書館のような施設で閲覧したり、目星をつけた号を古本屋やオンラインオークションで購入するしかなかったのですから、コンピュータ上でネットワーク越しに検索しながら目当ての記事を閲覧できるというのは、隔世の感があります。
</p>

<p lang="en">
Almost all back issues of The <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=LRMEAAAAMBAJ&dq=Billboard" target="_blank">Billboard</a> magazine (since 1942) is searchable and browsable on <a href="http://books.google.com/">Google Books</a> website. This enables us to do very convenient research through the web, on history of record labels, record production, artists and many other topics on record industries in the past. Previously we had to go to libaries to look for specific back issues, or we had to look for and buy them at second hand bookstores or at online auctions.
</p>

<br />

<p lang="ja">
今回は、マイクログルーヴレコード黎明期の「コロンビア対RCAヴィクター」 「33 1/3 対 45」回転数競争あたりからはじめて、諸説入り乱れて解釈が分かれている「<strong>EP</strong>」というタームについて、過去の資料を探ってみましょう。<a href="http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B3%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89#EP.E7.9B.A4" target="_blank">Wikipedia 日本語版</a> では 33 1/3回転7インチ盤である、と書かれている EP盤ですが、それは <strong>誤り</strong> で、あくまで45回転7インチ盤の一種である、ということがお分かり頂けるかと思います。
</p>

<p lang="en">
This time I am looking up some back issues, to what the term &ldquo;<strong>EP</strong>&rdquo; originally stood for - the term sometimes has been misunderstood (and there has been various opinions on it). So let's get started with the old 1948 article on the &ldquo;Speed Battle&rdquo; - 33 1/3 v.s. 45, Columbia v.s. RCA Victor.

        <title>A Few Facts About EmArcy Label, Pt.2  </title>
        <description><![CDATA[<p lang="ja">
気がつくと <a href="http://microgroove.jp/mercury/column/EmArcy/index-ja.shtml" target="_blank">前回の前編</a> から5年以上もあいてしまいました。すんません。その後も幾人かの方に「続編をお願い」「本題を早く」とリクエストを受け続け（笑）、年明けから暇を見つけてこつこつ書きため、新たに調べ物を行い、今回やっと本題の中編を書き終わりました。
</p>

<p lang="en">
It's already been over five years since I posted <a href="http://microgroove.jp/mercury/column/EmArcy/index-ja.shtml" target="_blank">the first part of the EmArcy article</a> (sorry still available in Japanese only) - sorry for that. Several people have contacted and asked me when would the next part available - this month I managed to have spare time to write it - part 2 of the EmArcy article - including further research on various things. And now it's finally available public.
</p>

<br />

<p lang="ja">
<strong>エマーシー</strong> (EmArcy) レーベルのシングル（16000番台）、10インチLP（26000番台）、12インチLP（36000番台）のオリジナル判定基準について、長々と書いてみました。リリース開始時期の特定や、新たに判明したプレス工場の話なども書いています。とりあえず日本語版だけの公開です。<a href="http://microgroove.jp/mercury/column/EmArcy2/index-ja.shtml" target="_blank">こちら</a> からどうぞ。
</p>
<p lang="ja">
<a href="http://microgroove.jp/mercury/column/EmArcy2/index-ja.shtml" target="_blank">This part 2</a> (in Japanese only yet) features the release period of EmArcy titles, as well as checkpoints for identifying original issues of EmArcy 16000 (45/78 rpm), 26000 (10inch LP) and 36000 (12inch LP) series.
</p>

<br />

<p lang="ja">
次回の後編では、EmArcy と関わりの深い傍系レーベル、ウィング (Wing) の話と、第1次 EmArcy 終焉の1959年以降のお話を書く予定です。
</p>

<p lang="ja">
The following part 3 (last part) that I am going to start writing in the near future, will feature stories around the Wing subsidiary label, and the EmArcy brand after it became less active in 1959.
</p>

        <title>Granz&apos; Jazz to Shift To Clef Label Aug. 1  </title>
        <description><![CDATA[<p lang="ja">
ずっと前から、調べよう調べようと思って忘れていたのですが、先日、別の調べ物をしているときに発見しました。1948年頃から Mercury とディストリビュート契約をしていたノーマン・グランツ音源が、グランツ本人の Clef レーベルに切り替わった時期。過去に調査した際に、1953年であることまでは特定できていたのですが、より詳しい切り替わり時期を調べようと思っていたのです。
</p>

<p lang="en">
The other day I happend to find the very article that identifies the period when Norman Granz stopped distribution contract with Mercury label and started his own Clef label - I found this while I was looking for info on other research topics... I knew it was in 1953 after my past research, but I wanted to identify more precise period of when the Mercury-Clef transition was conducted.

ジャズ、特に全盛期のモダンジャズが大好きな方であれば、伝説の録音エンジニア <strong>ロイ・デュナン</strong> 氏の名前はもちろんご存知だと思います。最初はキャピトルレーベル（〜1956年）で、続いてコンテンポラリーレーベル（1956年〜1960年代前半）で、数えきれない程の名盤とうたわれる素晴らしいレコーディングに携わってこられた方です。

要は私が普段聴いている音楽ということですが。もちろん <a href="http://microgroove.jp/2009/10/uta_uua_doremi_no_tv_ua.html" target="_blank">子供向け音楽</a> もかけたりしますし、娘なりのお気に入りはいろいろあるようですが、

        <description><![CDATA[<p lang="en">
I have posted two articles about the history of New Jazz / Prestige 78 rpm releases in the past.
</p>

<p lang="ja">
New Jazz / Prestige レーベルの SP 盤の変遷に関するエントリを、
本サイトに過去2回掲載したことがあります。
</p>

<br />

<ul lang="ja">
<li><a href="http://microgroove.jp/archives/2007/07/old_record_catalogues_pt4.html" target="_blank">Old Record Catalogue, Pt.4</a> (in Japanese only) (初期SPレーベルの変遷について)
<li><a href="http://microgroove.jp/2008/09/fine_and_dandy_sonny_stitt_bud_powell.html" target="_blank">Fine And Dandy / Sonny Stitt</a> (Prestige 9000番台について)
</ul>

<br />

<p lang="en">
In those articles I mentioned this 78 rpm - New Jazz 80.001 - was the very first release from the New Jazz label (later became Prestige label) back in 1949, later reissued as New Jazz 808 and Prestige 808. This time I could luckily obtain the copy of 80.001 - 62 years old.
</p>

<p lang="ja">
そのエントリの中で、New Jazz 80.001 が、New Jazz レーベル（のちの Prestige レーベル）によって最初にリリースされた盤であり、のちに New Jazz 808 あるいは Prestige 808 として再発された、と触れました。リリースは1949年、もう62年も前に製造された盤ということになります。今回その盤を入手することができました。

        <title>THE SUPREME SOUND OF 78 RPM RECORDS  </title>
        <description><![CDATA[<p lang="en">
On August 18, I drove east to Tsukuba City in Ibaraki, to visit my mentor/guru/master of Jazz 78rpm records, <a href="http://www.sakura.cc.tsukuba.ac.jp/~jazzsp/" target="_blank">Tohru Seya</a>-san - he's been probably one of the greatest, generous and openhearted collector - also he's been one of the most dilligent researcher of pre-bop Jazz.
</p>

<p lang="ja">
もうひと月以上前になりますが、ジャズSPレコードの大先輩というか師匠というか尊師というか、つくばにあるその方のお宅に伺いました。数千枚以上もある膨大なSPコレクターにして戦前ジャズの熱心な研究で知られる <a href="http://www.sakura.cc.tsukuba.ac.jp/~jazzsp/" target="_blank">瀬谷徹</a> さんです。
</p>

<br />

<p lang="en">
We had a great time, discussing about old Jazz, listening to great Jazz sounds with his amazing audio equipment - an old tube amp, RCA professional 16-inch turntable, Jensen field speaker from 1930s and more - (believe me he's not that snobbish, but he's just a dilligent music enthusiast) - the first one we enjoyed was this record - 16-inch US Navy Transcription 33rpm record, featuring June Christy, Shelly Manne etc. Other 78rpms we enjoyed so much today includes Django Reinhardt, The Spirits Of Rhythm, Chick Webb, Coleman Hawkins, Billie Holiday, Meade Lux Lewis and many more that I was like in heaven...
</p>

<p lang="ja">
その先輩のお宅でふたり、時を忘れて音楽の話題で盛り上がりつつ極上の音楽を楽しみました。この、16インチ放送局用レコードもかけられる業務用プレーヤーでまず聞かせてもらったのはジューン・クリスティとシェリー・マンを含む米海軍向け16インチトランスクリプション。その後もジャンゴ・ラインハルト、チック・ウェブ、コールマン・ホーキンス、ビリー・ホリディ、ミード・ルクス・ルイス、その他数え切れない程の戦前ジャズを、オリジナルのSP盤で、真空管アンプと戦前に作られたモノラルスピーカーで堪能させて頂きました。帰宅したあともしばらく余韻がさめやらないほど夢見心地の一日となりました。

        <title>Cross Patch c/w Cabin In The Sky / Fats Waller  </title>
        <description><![CDATA[<p lang="en" style="font-style: italic;">
I once posted <a href="http://microgroove.jp/2007/06/mary_had_a_little_lamb_willie_bryant.html">the article</a> on &ldquo;<strong>Mary Had A Little Lamb</strong>&rdquo; 78 rpm by Willie Bryant (&ldquo;Cross Patch&rdquo; on the flipside) - I love both sides so much, and while I was looking for other versions of those songs, I just encountered the <strong>Fats Waller</strong> version of &ldquo;<strong>Cross Patch</strong>&rdquo; and I was captured by this beautifully melancholic and charming performance. It was just a few weeks ago when I finally got the original 78 rpm version.
</p>

<p lang="ja" style="font-style: italic;">
以前、ウィリー・ブライアント (<span lang="en">Willie Bryant</span>) のSP盤「<strong lang="en">Mary Had A Little Lamb</strong>」（A面は「<span lang="en">Cross Patch</span>」）について <a href="http://microgroove.jp/2007/06/mary_had_a_little_lamb_willie_bryant.html">記事</a> を載せたことがありました。両面とも大好きなのですが、その時に、他のミュージシャンによる両曲の演奏にはどんなものがあるんやろう、といろいろ探していたときに、<strong>ファッツ・ウォーラー</strong> (<span lang="en">Fats Waller</span>) バージョンの「<strong lang="en">Cross Patch</strong>」に出会い、そのあまりの美しさとメランコリックでいてかわいらしい演奏に魅了されました。つい先日、やっとSP盤で入手することができました。

        <title>Good Vibrations (78 rpm) / The Beach Boys  </title>
        <description><![CDATA[<p lang="ja">
世界で最も有名な未完のアルバム、といってよいであろう、ビーチ・ボーイズ (<span lang="en">The Beach Boys</span>) の「<strong lang="en">SMiLE</strong>」関連の音源は、過去に何度となくリリースが噂されてきました。古くは1973年にリリースしようとしていたことが明らかになっていますし、1988年にもボックス化される話がありました。
</p>

<p lang="en">
Maybe the most famous &ldquo;unreleased&rdquo; album ever - &ldquo;<strong>SMiLE</strong>&rdquo; by The Beach Boys. There has been so many rumors and announcements in the past about releasing the SMiLE era outtakes in one package. The oldest attempt to finish the Smile album known so far was in 1973. Later in 1988 another attempt was made to release SMiLE materials.
</p>

<br />

<p lang="ja">
で、今回も「<span lang="en">Smile Sessions</span>」が出る出ると話題になっていますが、さて本当に出るのでしょうか。予想通り当初の予定からは遅れつつあるようで、現時点での最新情報では2011年8月9日リリースとのことです。
</p>

<p lang="en">
Recently yet another announcement was made that the &ldquo;Smile Sessions&rdquo; will be released in 2011 - the release date was slated again several times, but anyway the most recent news says it will be out on August 9, 2011.
</p>

<br />

<p lang="ja">
先月、そのリリースの予告編として、<span lang="en">&ldquo;Good Vibrations&rdquo;</span> と <span lang="en">&ldquo;Heroes And Villains&rdquo;</span> をカップリングした10インチアナログがリリースされました。なんと <strong>78回転</strong> です。
</p>

<p lang="en">
Last month an interesting title was released, probably as a trailer of the Smile Sessions - double 10-inch vinyl release, coupling &ldquo;Good Vibrations&rdquo; and &ldquo;Heroes And Villains&rdquo;, on microgroove <strong>78 rpm</strong>!

        <title>Boogie 4 Stu: A Tribute To Ian Stewart / Ben Waters  </title>
        <description><![CDATA[<p lang="ja" style="font-style: italic;">
個人的には、ストーンズ全メンバーが勢揃いしたこと自体は、あまり注目点ではなかったりします。<strong>ベン・ウォーターズ</strong> (<span lang="en">Ben Waters</span>) が、<strong>イアン・スチュアート</strong> (<span lang="en">Ian Stewart</span>) ゆかりのブギウギ、R&amp;B の名曲をどう料理してくれるのか、その点がはるかに興味をひかれ、ボーナストラック入りで限定リリースされた <a href="http://wardrecords.com/SHOP/WRDLP002.html" target="_blank">2枚組LP</a> を購入しました。
</p>

<p lang="en" style="font-style: italic;">
In my humble opinion, the most interesting part of this album is NOT the fact that all members of The Rolling Stones plays on this album, but how the leader <strong>Ben Waters</strong> interprets good old Boogie Woogie / R&amp;B tunes connected to the late <strong>Ian Stewart</strong>... I bought the <a href="http://wardrecords.com/SHOP/WRDLP002.html" target="_blank">limited 2LP edition</a> of the album (with bonus tracks).

        <title>Feb. 3, 1932: The First Stereo Sound Recording Known To Exist  </title>
        <description><![CDATA[<p lang="ja">
時は1932年2月3日。<strong>現存する最古のステレオ録音</strong>（とみなすことができるもの）が記録されました（ただし、意図的にステレオ録音されたものではなかった、とされてはいますが）。<strong>デューク・エリントン</strong> (<span lang="en">Duke Ellington</span>) オーケストラによるメドレー録音です。その6日後にも、別のメドレーが録音されました。
</p>

<p lang="en">
It was on February 3, 1932 when <strong>the oldest stereo recording known to exist</strong> was waxed (although it was not an "intended stereo recording" but an "accidental stereo recording") - a seven minute medley by <strong>Duke Ellington</strong> and His Orchestra.

        <title>Japan Earthquake Aftermath: Prayers And Brighter Days  </title>
        <description><![CDATA[<p lang="en">
Dear fellow readers, music lovers and collectors,
</p>

<p lang="en">
My family and I are safe. We in Tokyo had the earthquake on March 11, 2011, but the situation was NOT critical and serious. As a matter of fact, all of my LPs, 78rpms, CDs, audio component or whatever are intact, fortunately. My daughter and I was at home when the huge earthquake hits Eastern Japan. Only a few things fell onto the floor - a toaster in the kitchen, many books and cardboard boxes in my home working room, some decorating parts of Hinamatsuri dolls in the living room. Anyway we are safe.
</p>

<p lang="en">
I just can't help sending my prayers to the people in the Tohoku region where the critical earthquake and Tsunami hit, and who have been waiting for help and spending inconvinent days at refuge.
</p>

<p lang="en">
Even in Tokyo, many people here have been facing some difficulties in everyday life since the "3.11" - scheduled blackouts, train service being reduced because of the blackouts, some people rushing to supermarkets and gas stations, various false rumors making people uncertain and anxious, etc., etc... People have been even complaining that many of Japanese TV programs and newspapers don't provide reliable and appropriate information to us.
</p>

<p lang="en">
But we will never give up. we never forget smile, peace of mind, courage and bravery.
</p>

<p lang="en">
Do you know the famous Japanese song "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto? The original title is <span lang="ja">上を向いて歩こう</span> ("Ue Wo Muite Arukou", "I Look Up When I Walk"). We will keep looking up. We will never walk alone.
</p>
