Iron Maiden UK 1986 Upgrade

“SOMEWHERE ON TOUR” is an unexplored area from its heyday that was overlooked even in the official archives. The representative sound source has been upgraded to become the strongest version by “GRAF ZEPPELIN” and will be preserved forever! What is engraved on the strongest board is “Leicester performance October 14, 1986”. This is the best audience recording. “SOMEWHERE ON TOUR” did not have an official live performance since it was mixed in with “Resurrection of the Dead” and “Maiden England”, and as a result, underground excavations are flourishing. Our store has archived various masterpieces, but this work is special among them. In order to explain its meaning, let’s first look back at the overall picture of the sound source secret tour. 1986 ・September 10th – 25th: Europe #1 (12 performances)《SOMEWHERE IN TIME” released on September 29th》 ・October 3rd – November 9th: UK (27 performances)←★Here★・November 12th – December 18th: Europe #2 (27 performances) 1987 ・January 7th – May 2nd: North America (79 performances) ・May 11th – 21st: Japan (7 performances) [Traditional masterpiece recording that updated the highest quality] This is IRON MAIDEN from 1986/1987. We have been searching for the official replacement album, starting with “CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN MILWAUKEE,” “CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN CHICAGO,” and “BUDOKAN 1987.” However, all such press titles are from the latter half of the tour, 1987. On the other hand, the Leicester performance of this work was the 9th concert of the “British” leg at the beginning of the tour. This “1986” is important. The key point of this tour is the rare songs of “SOMEWHERE IN TIME”, but one of them, “Sea Of Madness”, was played only in Europe/UK. And, this work is a traditional masterpiece recording that has been known as the “highest peak of 1986″. This is a masterpiece that was directly digitized from the original master by the world-famous master “Crazy S.”. The previous highest peak edition was “CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN LEICESTER”, but this time it was newly retransferred from the original cassette. All recordings have been re-digitized using the latest technology in 2021. Moreover, the company responsible for this work was GRAF ZEPPELIN, which has a reputation for vintage archives. I don’t have much of an image of HR/HM music, but the recent release of WHITESNAKE’s “DEFINITIVE NOTTINGHAM 1984 (Zodiac 456)” was also very well received, and even the hard sound produced a wonderful finish. In fact, the sound of this work is also exquisite. Originally, it was a famous recording that had both a direct feeling at the core and the vividness of the minute parts, but in this work, the details have been further improved. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s completely different, but the crystal-clear atmosphere and sharp edges are even sharper, and it shines brightly while remaining natural. Another point is the stereo feeling. With full-throttle transfer, the balance between the left and right channels was unbalanced depending on the sound range, and there were also shifts in phase, but in this work, they are completely unified. Up until now, it was like, “Although it’s half a step compared to the Chicago recording and Milwaukee recording, it’s equivalent because it has Sea Of Madness,” but with this upgrade, it’s more than equal in terms of sound. It became one that reigned at the highest peak of the tour. [British collection full of rare songs] What is depicted in such clear sound is a full show of “SOMEWHERE ON TOUR” with plenty of rare songs. Let’s compare it with “Resurrection of the Dead” and “Maiden England.” Classics: Maiden of Steel (4 songs) Phantom Of The Opera/Iron Maiden/Running Free/Sanctuary・Mark of Magic (4 songs) Children Of The Damned/Hallowed Be Thy Name/The Number Of The Beast/Run To The Hills・Brain Reform (1 song) Where Eagles Dare (★)・Powerslave (2 songs) 2 Minutes To Midnight/Rime Of The Ancient Mariner Somewhere In Time and others (5 songs + α)・Caught Somewhere In Time (★)/Sea Of Madness (★) / Stranger In A Strange Land (★) / Wasted Years / Heaven Can Wait・Others: Walking on Glass (★) *Note: “★” indicates “Resurrection” and “Maiden England” A song I can’t even listen to. …and it looks like this. Particularly important are “Caught Somewhere In Time” and “Sea Of Madness,” which have never been played since the band became a six-piece band, and “Walking on Glass,” which features plenty of crying guitar solos. Just saying “SOMEWHERE ON TOUR” is valuable, but I think you will realize that “Sea Of Madness” is one of the key points. Now, this work can be said to be the “best masterpiece of SOMEWHERE ON TOUR”, but if you change your perspective further, it is also the cornerstone of the “80’s British Collection”. In order to understand the meaning of this, let’s take a look at the top audience recordings of each tour. ・3rd tour “DEFINITIVE OXFORD 1982” ・4th tour “EAGLE’S HAMMERSMITH” ・5th tour “NEWCASTLE 1984 2ND NIGHT” ・6th tour: Leicester performance ←★This work★ ・7th tour “MONSTERS OF ROCK 1988: 25th Anniversary Edition” What do you think?
