New Order/Tokyo,Japan 1.28.1987

While the shock of “TOKYO 1985” still remains, a new world premiere master has been discovered! This time too, Live in Japan was reprinted from the original cassette by the prestigious “Kinney”. What is recorded in this work is the “January 28, 1987: Nakano Sunplaza” performance. It is a transcendental audience recording. “TOKYO 1985” was the first visit to Japan with “LOW-LIFE”, but this work is the second Japan tour realized during the “BROTHERHOOD” era. You can collect the two visits to Japan that took place in the 80s with the miraculous Kinney sound. Now, for the record, let’s check the show’s position from the schedule at that time. ・January 27: Nakano Sun Plaza ・January 28: Nakano Sun Plaza ←★This work★ ・January 29: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall ・January 30: Nagoya City Public Hall A total of 4 performances. This work is the live album of the second performance. The biggest point of this work is the overwhelming sound. “TOKYO 1985” was amazing, but this work goes even further! Just to be sure, the Kinney Master of “TOKYO 1985” was also an undeniable miracle. Even if it was coupled with an official sound board, it would be the main focus. It even exceeds that sound. The key point is the direct feel of the extremely thick core. The beauty of Kinney’s neat sound and the transparency of the atmosphere are natural, but the performance and singing voice that cuts through such a space like a laser beam is exactly zero distance. You won’t even feel the time lag when the sound travels through the space, and it will fly straight into your ears with the same close contact as a soundboard. If you do your best to find the audience, you’ll notice that there’s only a slight timbre of the drums… no, this is normal even on FM broadcasts… The noise of the audience… is still far away… and in the end, I can’t find it. It is a transcendentally beautiful recording that could become a masterpiece even in a prestigious collection that can be called Japan’s boot history itself. With a sound that surpasses the famous album “TOKYO 1985″, this is also a show that transcends the first visit to Japan. Here, let’s organize the set that has changed since the first visit to Japan. ●LOW-LIFE (3 songs)・Sub-Culture, Face Up, The Perfect Kiss ●BROTHERHOOD (4 songs)・Angel Dust, Every Little Counts, Weirdo, Bizarre Love Triangle ●Others (6 songs)・Single song: Everything’s Gone Green, Ceremony, Temptation, Thieves Like Us・Age Of Consent (POWER, CORRUPTION & LIES), Touched By The Hand Of God (SALVATION!), and so on. Although the many “LOW-LIFE” numbers and singles are typical of their first visit to Japan, the repertoire of “POWER, CORRUPTION & LIES” was significantly reduced and replaced with the new song “BROTHERHOOD”. They also performed “Touched By The Hand Of God,” which was provided for the movie “SALVATION!,” which had not yet been released at the time. The momentum of the time when they continued to create new masterpieces in a progressive manner is clearly visible. Speaking of 1987, there is also the video “BRIXTON ACADEMY APRIL 1987” and the live album “BBC RADIO 1 LIVE IN CONCERT”, but this work and the former have only 5 songs, and the latter only 6 songs. Numbers such as “Angel Dust,” “Everything’s Gone Green,” “Thieves Like Us,” “Sub-Culture,” “Weirdo,” and “Face Up” cannot be heard in either official work. And the performance that plays such a set is wonderful. “TOKYO 1985” was quite rough, with a wild ensemble reminiscent of the JOY DIVISION era, and even equipment trouble, but the second time it was much more complete. With his impregnable combination, he can handle complex song ideas with ease, and with his outstanding sense of stability, even pop melodies are sharp and never stagnate. Since the Japanese performance was the first in 1987, he was not tired, and he listened to a wonderful show that showed how he had grown through experience all over the world. Unlike “TOKYO 1985” which testifies to the “first visit to Japan incident”, NEW ORDER in 1987 was putting on a fulfilling show that was heading towards its peak. This is the world’s first live album that conveys such a valuable show with miraculous “Kinney magic”. While “TOKYO 1985” was shocking due to the incident, this work is purely shocking due to its quality and music. Although the personality is different, this is the second installment of the miracle Kinney Master that still has a strong impact. ★The world’s first super high quality Kinney tape.
