Bids can be placed at this ebay.com link.
You are bidding on original and one of a kind, analog audio master tapes from the Jake E. Lee Solo Record entitled “A Fine Pink Mist.” There are a total of four (4) 2 inch 24 track Ampex 499 master tapes and also 2 Stereo DAT tapes, which contain rough mixes of the content on the audio masters. Also included, are all the track sheets that describe each audio track on the 24 track masters as well as tempos, etc.
This record was recorded at Juan Croucier’s The Cellar recording studio in 1995, over a six-month period. It was engineered by Juan Croucier and produced by Jake E. Lee. There is a considerable amount of money, hard work and time invested in these masters. They are original and in excellent condition. This recording session was never totally finished and the studio was never paid for the studio time incurred. Therefore, we are offering these masters to anyone who would like to invest in a very rare piece of rock music history.
Jake E. Lee, when on to quickly rerecord this record with another producer and studio. The other version of this record was released sometime in 1996 on Pony Canyon. This is the original version of his “vision” for the record. These tracks were methodically and painstakingly put together before he went over budget. He used over one hundred individual guitar effects peddles on this record – some of which, he built himself.
Jake E. Lee, programmed the drums, played bass, rhythm guitars, lead guitars and more.
There is also a bonus track; a cover version of a Jeff Beck song called Rice Pudding that was recorded for a tribute record to Jeff Beck called Jeffology and features Ray Luzier on drums and Jake performing all the other instruments. This track was engineered and mixed by Juan Croucier.
You can remix the tracks, add your own new tracks (there are still available tracks to overdub on), transfer them to another format, or just listen and explore how these tracks were meticulously put together. There were numerous guitar effects used on the various guitar tracks and printed to tape so, you can listen to individual sounds and really get an understanding for how this record was being pieced together and how a guitarist like Jake E. Lee captures his unique sound and style.
The recordings are about 80% finished and sound as if they are totally finished.
Songs included are:
1. Galaxy Of Tears
2. Soul Finger
3. Blud Fuc
4. Atomic Holiday
5. Exit House
6. Rapture
