Night Ranger / CA, USA 1985

Even when we say “American Hard Rock,” there are many different kinds, such as cheerful party rock, punkish rock and roll, and tearful rock that incorporates European flavors. However, in the early 1980s, it was melodic and technical hard rock that dominated the world as the royal road. This work is a soundboard album containing the “September 25, 1985 Irvine Performance”! It will be a great live album, but we would like to deliver something that is also valuable as a collection. That’s why we focused on radio broadcasts. In fact, the “September 25, 1985 Irvine Performance” is a famous live performance that was also broadcast on WESTWOOD ONE’s “Superstar Concert Rock Series,” and we directly digitized the unused broadcast master recording. Since it is radio, it is of course professionally finished, of official quality, and is optimized for an audio environment, not a television. Furthermore, since it is an unused master recording, there is no better sound than this. NIGHT RANGER in its heyday sounds with such ultimate quality. It’s a shame that “Call My Name” from the debut album was cut, but the super best hit selection is accompanied by the heat of a live performance, and the sense of unity that runs through the entire album is perfect. This is a decisive album that makes even “GREATEST HITS”, which was also called the “ideal best album”, unnecessary. This work is easy to use and accessible in any situation. You can listen to it with headphones, use it as background music while reading, or play it on your car stereo. With this one album, you can enjoy the pinnacle of American hard rock in any scene. It is loved both on broadcast and as an official product, and because it is a perfect live performance that packs the essence of one genre into one stage, the sound alone can make it a masterpiece. Please enjoy this solid proof to your heart’s content! Taken from Westwood One “Superstar Concert Rock Series” Radio Show Disc Live at Irvine Meadows, Irvine, California, USA 25th September 1985 1.
