Bryan Ferry/Tokyo,Japan 6.9.1977

A traditional masterpiece live album that has been passed down from the legendary solo first visit to Japan is reprinted. This work is recorded from “June 9, 1977: Nakano Sun Plaza performance”. It is the best audience recording. Brian Ferry’s first visit to Japan is symbolic of the studio live pro shot broadcast on a certain public broadcasting station’s “Young Music Show”, but this work is a different stage. In order to organize the circumstances around that, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time. ・June 5: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall ・June 6: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall ・June 7: TV recording (cancelled) {June 8: Treatment} ・June 9: TV recording ← ※ TV broadcast ・June 9: Nakano Sun Plaza ← ★ This work ★ All four times. The TV recording was originally scheduled for “June 7”, but when it came time to start rehearsing, Ferry’s voice was no longer coming out and it got worse and worse. Although dubbing was also considered, Ferry refused. As a result, on June 9th, they performed twice a day, on TV and at the final performance at Nakano Sun Plaza. This work is engraved with the final live performance of such a forced schedule. Such a show was also famous for having a famous recording from that time. In particular, the legendary LP bootleg “THE STING OF EL FERRANTI” has been a symbol for many years. We have introduced it as a set “TOKYO JOE” with a TV broadcast pro shot (Note: this work does not come with a TV broadcast DVD), but as you can imagine from the fact that it can be combined with an official professional shot, the sound is super-excellent. It is a famous recording in which the delicate and thick core of the sound board barefoot penetrates the crystal clear and transparent air. This work is the same master as “TOKYO JOE”. Using the best existing original LP “THE STING OF EL FERRANTI”, it was digitized with a glossy sound without needle cracks. Moreover, it was meticulously mastered. The original LP boot was also a famous recording that was far removed from the audience, but this work further accentuated the contours and made full use of the direct feeling of the original sound. As a result, the contours and separation are incomparable to the original sound, realizing a beautiful sound as if you were listening to a broadcast sound source. In fact, even a specialist magazine at the time praised it as “This is the best and easiest to listen to. It has the power and balance of ZEP’s “LISTEN TO THIS, EDDIE”. The ultimate quality is drawn by 31-year-old Brian Ferry, who made his legendary first visit to Japan. Here, let’s organize the set while comparing it with the most famous TV broadcast pro shot. Let’s Stick Together / Shame, Shame, Shame / You Go To My Head (★) / The Price Of Love In Your Mind (in your heart) / All Night Operator (★) / Party Doll (★) / In Your Mind / Love Me Madly Again / Tokyo Joe / This Is Tomorrow Others / ROXY MUSIC: Could It Happen To Me? (★) / Casanova / Love Is The Drug Others: Roadrunner (★) / The ‘in’ Crowd (★) / A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall *Note: The “★” mark is a song that cannot be heard on the TV broadcast pro shot. … and it looks like this. There are more songs than the TV broadcast, and six songs have been added. And the performance that spells out such a set is wonderful. As expected, Ferry is not in top form, but the backing that supports him is amazing. The “British Rock All-Stars” are all here, including ROXY MUSIC’s Paul Thompson, Phil Manzanera, former KING CRIMSON member Mel Collins, John Wetton on the eve of the formation of UK, and Chris Spedding. Supported by such masters, Ferry sings with such concentration and spirit that it is almost like he is shaking off his ailments. This is a record that has been reissued from the legendary LP bootleg and has been preserved forever with the highest quality ever. The final performance of the spirit that even famous TV broadcasts seem like a rehearsal. The best audience recording of the “June 9, 1977: Nakano Sun Plaza Performance”. It was meticulously digitized from the legendary LP bootleg “THE STING OF EL FERRANTI”, and the crystal clear, transparent atmosphere is pierced by the delicate and thick core of the barefoot soundboard with a glossy sound without a single needle crack. Meticulous mastering creates a sense of contour and separation that is incomparable to the original sound, realizing a beautiful sound as if you were listening to a broadcast sound source. You can experience the best full show with plenty of famous songs that you can’t hear on famous TV broadcast pro shots.
