La’s/London,UK 1987 & more

Coupled recording of two performances at Marquee in London, including a valuable newly discovered soundboard sound source of Lars, who have very few live sound sources. First of all, disc:1 is a complete recording of the live performance on October 9th, just before the release of the debut single “Way Out” in 1987, from the best quality audience master. It was known as the only remaining full live sound source, and it has been remastered in 2021, including adjusting the left and right balance, correcting unnecessary noise, and correcting the sound pressure. As a result, the sound quality is on a different level from past distribution. And of course, the performances that still feel fresh, such as the numbers that will later be included in “The Lars”, as well as the Jam’s “Looking Glass” and the Stones’ cover, are still fresh. In addition, disc:2 includes a rare live performance held at the Marquee in London on August 21st, just before the release of the album “The Lars”, which was finally completed and released in 1990, and was recently made public for the first time due to leaks of people involved. , complete recording from the leaked soundboard master connected directly to the desk. First of all, the pre-release single became a hot topic from the previous year, and although there were many hopes for an album release after their major debut, it did not progress easily, and in the end, the label appointed Steve Lillywhite as a producer and recording resumed, but However, there was a conflict with the band’s desire to self-produce the album, and in the end, Lilywhite mixed and finished the album by herself, and the album was finally released. The band was dissatisfied with the performance, but one of the gigs they held for promotional purposes was this gig at the Marquee. The live performance at Marquee included in the 4-disc set is from 1991, so it is miraculous that you can listen to the live performance before the album debut with a perfect soundboard sound source. Moreover, all the songs on the album are played, including the timeless classics “There She Goes,” “Son of a Gun,” and “Timeless Melody,” which have a melancholic sound and Lee Mavers’ wonderful performance. Here is a performance that can be said to be a symbol of the 80’s UK scene with the vocals. Moreover, in the encore after “Looking Glass”, “Swashbuckler” and “Rebound/Minefield” were also played, an eternal masterpiece of the legendary band that passed through Mersey Beat and neo-acoustic and created a new UK rock. , a limited collector’s edition where you can listen to all songs live in full, making both performances a must-see for fans.
