Description
The 1982 Japan tour was the final stop. The ultimate stereo soundboard album. [Permanently preserving the legendary broadcast of Japanese Western music history] What is engraved in this work is the “December 8, 1982: Nippon Budokan” performance. This is the super best soundboard recording. This day shines in a special light in the history of Japanese Western music. After all, not only was JAPAN itself at the height of its popularity, but they also shockingly announced their disbandment. Not only was it their last Budokan performance, but they also performed with a certain famous musician, and the event was broadcast on the FM radio program “JAPAN SPECIAL” by a certain broadcasting association. This is exactly why Western music fans all over Japan took up the challenge of recording, creating such a frenzy that enthusiasts competed with each other for the highest quality sound. In particular, the first broadcast even included “Quiet Life,” which was cut in the rebroadcast, so for Japanese fans, it was a legendary broadcast that had far more weight than the half-hearted official version “OIL ON CANVAS.” . Of course, as a symbol of JAPAN’s legendary sound source, many bootlegs have been produced, but this work is one of the best. [Ultimate quality refined from the ultimate master] The origin of this work was mastered by a record enthusiast. This maniac has made archiving music programs his life’s work, and since the 1980s he has continued to record and record music using modern, high-end equipment. By paying careful attention to the wiring, radio wave conditions, and even the environment in which the master cassette was stored, they were able to preserve the “best sound” to this day. (It is unlikely that you will) In our shop, we have introduced a number of the best masters provided by this mania, and this work is one of them. Some of you may remember “JAPAN SPECIAL: BUDOKAN 1982″ that I introduced earlier. A fantastic, super masterpiece that shocked everyone with its quality that blew away the previous releases, but disappeared after only one week of limited release. Yes, this work is a CD version of that shocking master. However, they are not exactly the same. All of the DJ talk that was a hindrance to the regular release has been removed (David Sylvian’s MC still remains), and it has been reconfigured as a pure live album, and is the ultimate version that has been refined through meticulous mastering. The mastering is also not about increasing sound pressure through reckless equalization. We have thoroughly repaired extremely minute sound vibrations, noise, etc. If you have experienced the bonus edition, you may be wondering, “Is there some noise somewhere?” But this is something you won’t notice if you listen to it normally, and even if you do hear it, it’s less than a momentary “pop” and it’s probably clap or noise. level that cannot be determined. This time, after identifying them with waveforms, we also double-checked the full volume playback. We thoroughly identified any potential damage to the ear and corrected it as much as possible. However, even if I had done it before, it would take more than 100 minutes and less than 10 locations. You will understand how good the former master was. [A masterpiece of a live album that will become a cultural heritage] What flows from this work, which has been raised to its ultimate form, is a masterpiece that even surpasses “OIL ON CANVAS”. I’m reluctant to analyze such a symbolic sound board, but let’s organize the set for first-timers. ●QUIET LIFE (2 songs)・Quiet Life・Songs that cannot be heard on OIL ON CANVAS: Alien●GENTLEMEN TAKE POLAROIDS (5 songs + α)・Gentlemen Take Polaroids/Swing/Nightporter/Methods of Dance・Songs that cannot be heard on OIL ON CANVAS: Burning Bridges (SE)/Taking Islands In Africa (★) ●TIN DRUM (7 songs)・Sons of Pioneers/Cantonese Boy/Visions of China/Canton/Ghosts/Still Life in Mobile Homes/The Art of Parties ●Others (4 Songs)・Songs that cannot be heard on OIL ON CANVAS: Life in Tokyo (★) / European Son / Bamboo Music (★) / Good Night (★) Items marked with “★” are co-starring songs. …and it looks like this. There are 6 songs in the repertoire that cannot be heard on “OIL ON CANVAS”, and on 4 songs you can also hear co-stars with historically valuable guest musicians. Moreover, it is not just a rare/increased amount, but the performance itself is wonderful. “OIL ON CANVAS” was recorded in November 1982 before coming to Japan, but this work is set in Japan at the end of its life. The entire show is filled with passionate performances that will leave you smitten. You can enjoy all of it in completely official quality. This is one that does not match the official works, but surpasses them. The 2 CDs I introduced previously have not lost their value as radio albums as they were broadcast, but this work is a different “musical work”. A legendary first broadcast, a master on a different level from previous episodes, and a passionate performance and historic collaboration that is counting down to the end… An absolute super masterpiece that has everything at the highest and ultimate level. This is a pinnacle recording. For Western music fans who lived through that era, this is truly a lifetime piece.
