New Order/Osaka, Japan 1985

An original recording by the famous Kinney, who is shaking NEW ORDER enthusiasts around the world with the world’s first public release master. Finally, the first Osaka performance in Japan is also a new discovery! The extremely popular “Kinney’s NEW ORDER”. Not only is it the first recording to appear in the world, but the sound is superb because it is an original cassette, and it has received great praise from enthusiasts around the world. Especially the first recording in Japan in 1985 is special. It was a truly shocking collection of masterpieces, including “TOKYO 1985,” which recorded the night of the legendary incident, and “CLUB-D 1985,” a secret gig where the existence of the show itself was unknown. The last performance left after his first visit to Japan was the “May 4, 1985: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall” performance. Surprisingly, the prestigious Kinney also recorded this Osaka performance. Before we get into the details, let’s talk about the show’s position. Speaking of his first visit to Japan, his official work “PUMPED FULL OF DRUGS” has become a symbol, so let’s organize our collection with that as well. ・May 1st “TOKYO 1985” ・May 2nd: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall ← *Official “PUMPED FULL OF DRUGS” ・May 3rd “CLUB-D 1985” ・May 4th: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall ← ★This work★ There are 4 performances in total. The secret gig “CLUB-D” was also held in Tokyo, so the schedule was 3 performances in Tokyo and 1 performance in Osaka. The Osaka performance of this work was the last day, and Kinney recorded the entire performance (the second day, “May 2nd”, had “PUMPED FULL OF DRUGS”, so there were only three songs that were not officially recorded). (included in “TOKYO 1985”). This work records the last day of the first visit to Japan, which was a special set of incidents, officializations, and secrets, and has the best sound that shines this time as well. Kinney is famous for his clear audience sound, but this work also has plenty of direct feeling. Although I was able to feel the noisy atmosphere of the scene as if it were my first visit to Japan, it was much more remote and small. On the other hand, the sounds of performances and singing voices are captured very closely, and even the slightest rumble from the hall won’t enter your consciousness unless you listen closely with headphones. What is especially surprising is the bass. Audience recordings tend to be a bit loud or explosive, but this work is both sturdy and glossy. There was no sense of distance at all, and if it wasn’t for Kinney’s original cassette, I might not have thought it was an audience recording. Of course, bass is just one example. The midrange boasts plenty of tactile response, and the trebles are filled with each and every synth note. It is a superb recording that boasts Kinney’s unique neatness and clarity, but is also powerful. It is no exaggeration to say that the show drawn with such brilliant sound is the best performance in the performance in Japan. The sets were different for all four performances. This work is also the final part of the first visit to Japan, so let’s summarize it here. ●Songs that were indispensable at all 4 performances: Blue Monday/The Perfect Kiss ●Songs played at 3 performances: Included in this work: Temptation/Confusion/Age Of Consent/Sub-culture ・Not performed in Osaka: This Time Of Night ●Songs played at 2 performances/included in this work: In A Lonely Place/Sooner Than You Think/Sunrise/As It Is When It Was・Not performed in Osaka: Ceremony/5 8 6/Leave Me Alone/The Village/Your Silent Face/Face Up ●Songs that only appeared in one performance/included in this work (Osaka only): Hurt/Lonesome Tonight/Not performed in Osaka: Denial/We All Stand/Thieves Like Us/Love Vigilantes/Sister Ray …and it looks like this. Only “Blue Monday” and “The Perfect Kiss” were played at all four performances, and the rest all changed daily. Osaka is centered on four “LOW-LIFE” numbers and six singles, and also performs rare single B-sides such as “Hurt” and “Lonesome Tonight.” Although the volume of songs was not as high as the first day, it was also the second show after the first day in terms of delicious selections that were not included in the album. Even more wonderful than such a set is the performance itself. Equipment malfunctions were noticeable on the first day and at secret gigs, which caused incidents. However, at the final performance in Osaka, the performance was stable, perhaps because the staff had gotten used to it. Of course, it is not as complete as the second visit to Japan, and it is still a “LOW-LIFE TOUR”, but you can enjoy the show that shows its true potential that was heard in overseas performances. A legendary first visit to Japan that started with an incident and ended with a great performance. The famous Kinney recorded all the shows with the best sound. In terms of rarity and impact, it’s not as good as “TOKYO 1985” and “CLUB-D 1985,” but “Lonesome Tonight,” “Sunrise,” and “Hurt” were not heard in those two works (there is a momentary cut at the end. Too bad!) ” and “As It Is When It Was” are delicious and the performances are wonderful. Although their first visit to Japan is often talked about as an incident or trouble, it was by no means the only one. This is a sound proof item that will tell you this with the finest sound.
