Whitesnake/Osaka,Japan 6.29.1981

A miraculous new excavation of the famous Omoto cassette, which was once traded as a soundboard and was rumored to be “the masterpiece of the heyday of the COME AN’ GET IT Tour.” What was blown into that historical name recording was “June 29, 1981: Osaka Festival Hall Performance”. This is a superb audience recording recorded at the last visit to Japan of “Classic White Snake”, which also included Bernie Marsden/Ian Paice. If you’ve been reading this article, you may know that “Japan in 1981” is special to classic white snake collectors. After all, “COME AN’ GET IT Tour” is the only classic Shiroja that does not have a sound board, despite the era of extremely famous records. Therefore, in order to experience the ultimate blues rock, enthusiasts around the world have continued to seek the finest recordings that can be used as a “sound board replacement.” And, after many years of pursuit, what enthusiasts called “just like a sound board” was all recorded in Japan. At our store, we archive such masterpieces on CD. Now organize your collection by date. ・June 22nd “ASAKUSA ROCK!” ・June 23rd: Asakusa International Theater ・June 25th “DRAGONSNAKE” (Nakano: additional performance) ・June 26th: Nakano Sunplaza (additional performance) ・June 27th “NAGOYA 1981”・June 29th: Osaka Festival Hall　←★This work★・June 30th: Osaka Festival Hall [A miraculous new discovery of the original cassette of the legendary recording] A total of 7 performances. Until now, we have permanently preserved the highest peak masters from the three venues of Asakusa, Nakano, and Nagoya, but this work is the last “Osaka edition” left. As expected, it is not all performances, but now the highest peak recordings of all venues are available at once. Moreover, this is not just a new discovery. As a matter of fact, this recording was once released as “IAN’S BIRTHDAY PARTY”. This is a title that “was once traded as a soundboard” as I wrote at the beginning, and it appeared quickly before Asakusa, Nakano, and Nagoya, and collectors all over the world said, “Finally, the soundboard of “COME AN’ GET IT Tour” is available. It’s out!” A masterpiece that shocked everyone. Moreover, this work is neither a copy nor a remaster. This is the ultimate quality disc that was directly digitized from the original cassette (same recording artist as the super masterpiece “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT: DEFINITIVE MASTER”!) obtained through a unique route. The quality is a peerless beautiful recording. By modern standards, the core tone is clearly an audience recording and cannot be said to be “just like a soundboard,” but the clearness of the atmosphere clearly shows the feelings of the maniacs at the time who were quick to understand. The details are sharp down to the smallest details, and the core is vivid and strong like a laser beam. Moreover, the sound is neat with “super”. This time, it was also revealed that the recording position (CC row of the second floor seat) was used, but the unbelievably faint sound was as beautiful as the vibe, and since it is an original cassette, it is better than the conventional version “IAN’S BIRTHDAY PARTY”. Much more fresh. In terms of the other performance titles mentioned above, it is close to “DRAGONSNAKE (Shades 460)”, but it also feels even more sparkling. In modern terms, calling this sound “like a soundboard” may be an insult. It is a beautiful recording that I would like to praise with all my might as “a beautiful sound that can only be heard by the audience.” [Full show, the pinnacle of British blues rock] Such a beautiful sound depicts the whole story of the “COME AN’ GET IT Tour”, which was the pinnacle of British blues rock. Classic White Snake, which has continued to grow steadily, has finally reached No. 1 in the UK and will perform a culmination set with the band’s potential at its peak, so there is no doubt that it will be a bad thing. This is also a good opportunity, so let’s organize that golden set as well. WHITESNAKE・Snakebite: Ain’t No Love In The Heart Of The City/Come On・Trouble: Belgian Tom’s Hat Trick (★)・Love Hunter: Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues/Love Hunter・Fool For Your・Loving: Sweet Talker/Ready an’ Willing/Fool For Your Loving・Come and Get It: Don’t Break My Heart Again (★)/Till The Day I Die (★★)/Would I Lie To You ( ★★) / Wine, Women an’ Song (★) Others ・DEEP PURPLE: Mistreated/Soldier Of Fortune (★) ・Others: Thank You Osaka (★) *Note: “★” indicates the official version “LIVE… A song that cannot be heard on “IN THE HEART OF THE CITY/LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH”. In particular, songs marked with “★★” are exclusive to this tour. …and it looks like this. The set, which includes the repertoire of the famous album “COME AN’ GET IT” that cannot be expected from “LIVE… IN THE HEART OF THE CITY”, is truly the culmination of the classic Shiroja, especially “Till The Day I Die” and “Would I “Lie To You” is an extremely rare song that has not been played on subsequent tours. Also, although it is not mentioned above, after “Belgian Tom’s Hat Trick” there is a big chorus (with organ) of the birthday song celebrating Ian Paice’s birthday, and in the member introduction corner there are songs such as “Lie Down” and “Gimme Some Lovin'”. We will introduce it while singing “, etc. Even more delicious than such a set is the performance itself. You will be able to hear plenty of “kiwami” that combines the power of the prime and the maturity. In the first place, this band itself was not only DEEP PURPLE, but also the best of British rock such as FREE and early FLEETWOOD MAC, and its peak was also the peak of British blues rock. All four press works of the very special “1981 Japanese recording” are the best, but if I had to choose the best, I would choose “NAGOYA 1981 (Zodiac 253)” with its direct feel, or this work with its beauty…… In any case, although this work is an audience recording, it is a masterpiece that should be talked about not as one band but as an ideal form of one musical genre, “Blues Rock.” A legendary recording that has returned to being a masterpiece after excavating the original cassette. The best audience recording of “June 29, 1981: Osaka Festival Hall Performance”. A miraculous new excavation of a legendary recording original cassette that was once traded as a sound board. By modern standards, it’s a super neat sound that seems to have mastered the “beauty of audience recording”, and you can also enjoy valuable numbers such as “Till The Day I Die” and “Would I Lie To You”, which are limited to this tour. This is a new album that is the best masterpiece of the “COME AN’ GET IT Tour”, which is the pinnacle of British blues rock but does not have a sound board.
