Iron Maiden/Tokyo,Japan 1981 Evening

IRON MAIDEN from the Paul Di’Anno era changed heavy metal around the world. The pinnacle live album is a grand comeback! Recently, the amazing audience recordings “TOKYO 1981 1ST NIGHT” and “TOKYO 1981 AFTERNOON SHOW” from their first visit to Japan have been unearthed in succession, and we received many requests asking, “Can’t we buy those anymore?” I did. That “that” is the legendary masterpiece “LIVE KILLERS”. Yes, this work is the latest digitally remastered version of the famous masterpiece! The live performance contained in that famous album is a live performance that anyone who listens to IRON MAIDEN, or anyone who knows about underground music, cannot avoid. ”. This is the broadcast sound source of “FM Live Special” by a certain public broadcasting station. Since IRON MAIDEN has been gaining popularity since then, it is a super famous live show that has produced countless previous releases, so many titles that I can’t list them here. If you are reading this nonsense, you probably already have at least one copy of the book. “LIVE KILLERS” appeared in 2003 as the big decision board. Not only all the songs that were broadcast, but also the announcer’s comments announcing the end of the program from the beginning of the program, and even the best audience for the encore that was not broadcast are completely recorded. In addition, the ultra-high quality sound that surpassed all previous releases received great praise as “IRON MAIDEN’s ultimate album”, and it was a shocking work that wiped out all previous releases. However, 12 years have passed since that shock. The famous edition has been sold out for a long time, and now that the first performance in Japan has been spotlighted again, people are asking, “Can’t we buy that anymore?” This work, which was revived in response to those voices, is not just a reissue, but challenges the limits of the sound of the recording itself with the latest digital remaster. Through repeated fine-tuning, such as changing the high-pitched sound quality and making the bass sound more robust, we were able to go even further than the sound that was said to be the “ultimate.” As expected, the sound board part was awarded as “ultimate”, so it wasn’t a dramatic change, but we gave it as much treatment as possible in 2015 without sacrificing the naturalness of the original sound. On the other hand, the encore “Prowler” has been reborn as something almost different. Only for this song, an ultra-high-quality audience recording was used, but on the LANGLEY edition, the sound was felt to be fluent and thin only after the ultra-high-quality sound board, and I couldn’t shake the “bonus feeling”. However, in this work, while maintaining the clarity that approaches FM broadcasting, the power has increased dramatically, making it not an “extra” but a magnificent “epilogue” that rivals the main sound board. In this way, this work, which challenges “even better” than “ultimate”, is not only the ultimate in sound but also the live performance itself. A super powerful set list that condenses the best songs from the ultimate masterpieces that changed the history of heavy metal, “Maiden of Steel” and “Killers,” a lineup that includes world-class talent including Adrian Smith, and above all, a young passion. The audience is excited. A stage where all of that comes out at once. After all, this first visit to Japan was the “arrival of a new music culture” for Japan since LED ZEPPELIN and DEEP PURPLE’s first visit to Japan, and for IRON MAIDEN, it was the first time they crossed the ocean from Europe and “understood the size of the earth.” It was also a tour. It’s a live show where the audience and band are filled with fresh excitement and joy, and they share their sense of fulfillment with each other. Some line recordings from Paul Di’Anno’s era remain and can be accessed even today. However, the official who is supposed to be the most right wing only has 7 songs in “LIVE AT THE RAINBOW”, 5 songs in the US EP “MAIDEN JAPAN”, and 6 songs in Reading Festival 1980 of “BBC ARCHIVES”. In addition, “Purgatory”, “Another Life”, “Genghis Khan”, “Twilight Zone”, “Strange World”, and “Murders In The Rue Morgue”, which cannot be heard even if you scrape together the B-side of the single and “LIVE! +ONE” which has not been released on CD, are included in the book. The work contains a lot of information. It is not only the finest official soundboard, but also the longest and best of the Diano era, and the only live album that allows you to feel “one stage” in full scale. This is the ultimate piece that has been taken from that summit recording using all modern means possible. Here is a grand resurgence.
