Clash/Tokyo,Japan 2.1.1982

THE CLASH’s legendary first visit to Japan, which only happened once in 1982. The original cassette of the prestigious “Kinney” that conveys the scene has been newly discovered. This work is the second installment. This is the best audience recording of the “February 1, 1982: Nakano Sunplaza” performance. Speaking of Nakano Sunplaza, it is the venue where they held the most performances during their first visit to Japan, and is also famous for its TV/radio broadcasts by a certain broadcasting association. First of all, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and check the position of the show.・January 24: Shibuya Public Hall ・January 25: Osaka Festival Hall ・January 27: Nakano Sun Plaza ・January 28: Nakano Sun Plaza ・January 29: Nakano Sun Plaza ・January 30: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall (daytime part) ・January 30th: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall (evening part) ←*”SHINJUKU KOSEINENKIN 1982″ ・February 1st: Nakano Sunplaza ←★This work★ ・February 2nd :Osaka Festival Hall A total of 9 performances. There were four performances at Nakano Sun Plaza, but this work was the last day. It is the same day as the TV broadcast, and it is a full live album that conveys the complete form of the show that symbolizes their first visit to Japan. This work recorded at such a show is a super neat sound that is full of “Kinney magic”. Rather than pursuing a sound board-like sense of closeness, Kano’s famous works are characterized by taking advantage of the audience’s uniqueness and challenging the limits of clarity. This product also has that individuality, with a clear core that jumps into your ears, and a natural and delicate sound that is extremely beautiful. Although you can feel the atmosphere from the sound of the snare, it does not create turbidity or cloudiness, and even the smallest details are crystal clear and vivid. However, such a Kinney master had a few drawbacks. That is that the first song “London Calling” was not recorded. Other tape change sections are between songs, but here the performance was greatly lacking. Therefore, in this work, we patched the audio of the TV broadcast on the same day for about 3 minutes. I finished it so that you can enjoy all the songs. What is surprising here is the splendor of Kinney’s sound. The TV broadcast is a wonderful sound board, but when you switch to Kinney recording from there, it becomes much more beautiful. Of course, the direct feeling is more intense on the TV broadcast sound board, but the pan-pan feeling disappears easily, and while the clarity is the same, you can feel the natural sound of the instrument. Normally, just being able to connect a sound board is proof of the best sound, but I never expected that the sound would be better with a guest record… As expected, it is the work of the prestigious “Kinney”. The magical sound depicts the night that has been passed down as a symbol of the legendary man’s first visit to Japan. It is also a show that is famous for its TV broadcast pro shots, so let’s compare and organize them here. White Riot (8 songs) Original: Career Opportunities (★) / Janie Jones (★) / London’s Burning (★) / White Riot Pearl Harbor ’79: (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais / I Fought the Law (★ )/Clash City Rockers (★)/Complete Control (★) Unrest (Release the beast into the wild) (3 songs)・Safe European Home/Stay Free (★)/Tommy Gun London Calling (8 songs)・London Calling ／Train in Vain (★)／Spanish Bombs (★)／The Guns of Brixton (★)／Brand New Cadillac／Koka Kola (★)／Clampdown／Jimmy Jazz Sandinista! (7 songs)・Washington Bullets (★)／The Leader (★) / The Magnificent Seven (★) / Ivan Meets G.I. Joe (★) / Charlie Don’t Surf / Somebody Got Murdered (★) / Police on My Back Others (4 songs) Combat Rock: Should I Stay or Should I Go (★)・Others: Armagideon Time/This Is Radio Clash/Fujiyama Mama *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the same day’s TV broadcast pro shot. …and it looks like this. The TV broadcast was longer than the FM version, but it still only had 13 songs. In contrast, this work allows you to enjoy 30 full-scale songs. Of note in the entire set are the daily songs “Washington Bullets” and “Fujiyama Mama,” which were not played in the simultaneously released sister album “SHINJUKU KOSEINENKIN 1982.” Neither of these can be heard on their official live albums “FROM HERE TO ETERNITY: LIVE” or “LIVE AT SHEA STADIUM,” but Pearl Harbor’s cover of Earl Solomon Burroughs’ “Fujiyama Mama” is especially memorable for their first visit to Japan. This is a valuable song that symbolizes this. A sister work to the original master of the prestigious “Kinney”, which coincidentally was discovered at the same time. In contrast to “SHINJUKU KOSEINENKIN 1982”, a complete live album where you can enjoy all the songs naturally, this work is a complete version of the show that became a symbol of the first visit to Japan on the TV program. Both are cultural heritage albums that remain in the history of Japanese Western music.
