Iron Maiden/London,UK 1979 Upgrade

The highest peak live album where you can enjoy the “70’s IRON MAIDEN” before debut. Introducing a super rare recording in which phantom members Tony Parsons & Doug Sampson were also included! This work includes “Music Machine Performance on September 30, 1979”. Speaking of “1979 Music Machine”, the recording on September 10th is a classic, but this work is a completely different live performance. It is a low generation master that has appeared in recent years, and it is an audience recording that has been talked about among core enthusiasts as “the best sound of 1979!” For those of you who haven’t been following IRON MAIDEN since the 70’s, phantom members, or pre-debut, you might wonder. Let me briefly explain them in order…In the first place, founder Steve Harris formed IRON MAIDEN on December 25, 1975 (some documents say May). They started performing live the following year, but the lineup was far from the MAIDEN we know. The foundation that continues today was born in 1978 when Dave Murray and Paul Deano came together. From then on, we aimed for our debut with these three members at the core, replacing the second guitar and drums. Such records from the pre-debut era are extremely valuable. This is a good opportunity, so let’s sort things out here. ●1978・December 31st “THE SOUNDHOUSE TAPES” session ●1979《Paul Cairns leaves → Tony Parsons joins》・September 10th: Music Machine ←Bonus CDR・September 30th: Music Machine [ This work】・October 5th: Ruskin Arms・November 14th “FRIDAY ROCK SHOW” session “Parsons leaves”・November “METAL FOR MUTHAS” session・November “Burning Ambition” recording “Sampson leaves → Dennis & Clive joins》●January 1980: Production on “The Virgin of Steel” begins…and this is how it turned out. Since the oldest Diano era “THE SOUNDHOUSE TAPES”, detailed recordings have been made, but most of them can be enjoyed in the studio session (“THE ULTIMATE COMPILATION 1978-1981)”). There are only three live stage recordings: “September 10, 1979,” “September 30,” and “October 5, 1979.” This work is the live album of “September 30th” that has the best sound among them. [The ultimate 1979 live album] The quality is truly exquisite. Although it is not the type that is touted as “just like a sound board” because it is a vintage recording, the solid performance sound and singing voice jump into the clear atmosphere. Moreover, the enthusiasm of the scene does not come between the performance and the performance. When the song starts, the performance dominates everything, as if it were a performance in Japan, and you can fully enjoy the extreme metal. In fact, even among the three types mentioned above, the “September 10th” recording is far away, and the “October 5th” recording is explosive. When this “September 10th” recording appeared, maniacs all over the world were excited, saying, “Finally, a recording that can be heard properly has come out!” Moreover, this work has been further refined to its ultimate form with a meticulous remaster. In fact, the original sound released was extremely slow in pitch and unstable. In addition, there were also cuts of “Running Free” and “Iron Maiden” that were not recorded. Of course, in this work, the pitch has been thoroughly corrected (the total time is short for that reason, but this work is normal), and the cut parts are also cut from “September 10th”, which was the same Music Machine performance. ” Supplemented with recordings. Unfortunately, the encore part was not recorded, so it is not recorded, but you can enjoy the extremely valuable live performance of 10 songs. And even more than that is the sound that runs through the whole story. The recording itself is the best of 1979, but this work has updated its highest peak. Of course, we didn’t try to increase the sound pressure recklessly, but instead tried to adjust each range to make it easier to listen to. Enhances the transparency of venue acoustics and improves the sense of separation between each instrument. The result is a sound that is even closer, yet still retains the vintage feel of the original sound. [NWOBHM’s exciting London scene] What a wonderful early stage stage with such a sound! You can enjoy the very early versions of “Remember Tomorrow”, “Charlotte The Harlot”, and “Phantom Of The Opera”, which were not heard even in the studio sessions such as “THE SOUNDHOUSE TAPES”, “FRIDAY ROCK SHOW”, and “METAL FOR MUTHAS”, as well as “Prowler”. Even in “Invasion”, the phantom Tony Parsons plays a lot. The rhythm guitar has a slightly rock’n’roll style, and the familiar masterpieces sound completely different. And youthful energy! The above studio session group was a mature performance that was confirmed, but this work is a genuine stage. Although they did not achieve the professional explosiveness that they had on their first visit to Japan, they were full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm for their debut, and Diano’s quick and frantic shouts were also innocent. Doug Sampson’s drumming is a bit unsophisticated, but this unsophisticatedness is the flavor of the very early MAIDEN. The body odor of the NWOBHM band, which had faded with their debut album and almost disappeared with “KILLERS”, can be strongly smelled. Exactly NWOBHM. Its embodiment. “The Virgin of Steel” surprised the world and continued to dominate the world for nearly 40 years, and this work is the embryonic development of that work. It is the highest peak live album of “IRON MAIDEN of the 70s”, but at the same time it is also a documentary album that stands at the scene where NWOBHM was at its hottest. A piece that has polished the cultural heritage to the ultimate quality that goes beyond listening to the precious lineup.
