Police/France 1980 Upgrade

In 1980, THE POLICE rose to the top of the era with the singles “Message in a Bottle” and “Walking on the Moon” and the album “REGGATTA DE BLANC” reaching No. 1 in the UK. This is a soundboard album that will pour that fierce live performance into your brain. This work records the “Lyon performance on April 8, 1980”. This is a stereo soundboard recording. Speaking of the “REGGATTA DE BLANC” era, TV appearances such as “ROCKPALAST” and “DON KIRSHNER’S ROCK CONCERT” are also famous. In order to understand the situation around there, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time. 1979 August 17-September 23: Europe #1 (17 performances) September 27-30: North America #1a (4 performances) October 2 “REGGATTA DE BLANC” released》・October 2nd – December 1st: North America #1b (41 performances)・December 3rd – 22nd: Europe #2 (15 performances)1980・January 11th: Hamburg performance ← *Appearance with ROCKPALAST・January 20th – February 8th: North America #2 (14 performances) ← *Appearance with DKRC・February 14th – 27th: Japan/Hong Kong (8 performances)・February 29th – March 28th: ​​Oceania (10 performances)・March 26th + 28th: ​​India/Egypt (2 performances)・March 30th – April 28th: ​​Europe #3 (14 performances) ← ★Here★《Production of “ZENYATTA MONDATTA” begins on July 7th》This is the overall picture of the “REGGATTA DE BLANC Tour”. In July, the era will change to “ZENYATTA MONDATTA”, but this work’s Lyon performance was just before that. It was the seventh concert of the “Europe # 3” leg. Such a show is also famous for being broadcast on the program “FEEDBACK” of the famous French DJ Bernard Lenoir, and the air check has been a standard for a long time. This work is also the same “FEEDBACK” recording, but it is different from the conventional one. It is a masterpiece among masterpieces that was directly digitized from a newly excavated reel master. In fact, the sound (greatly) surpasses the conventional version. To be precise, all the conventional masters had poor reception conditions or were not very good due to dubbing deterioration, but this work has no such drawbacks at all. There is no sparse feeling or distortion, and the glossy and dense density is completely different. Although the French DJ overlaps in places (this can’t be helped because it is a characteristic of the broadcast itself), the sound quality itself is an official class superb live album. Such a semi-official sound depicts the passionate performance of the young THE POLICE, who is burning with passion to get the world. As mentioned above, the professional shots of the “ROCKPALAST” appearance are famous during this period, so let’s organize them by comparing them. Outlands d’Amour (6 songs) Next to You / So Lonely / Hole in My Life / Roxanne / Can’t Stand Losing You / Born in the 50’s Others (5 songs) White Regatta: Walking On the Moon / Deathwish / Bring On the Night / Message in a Bottle Single: Landlord (★) *Note: The “★” mark is a song that could not be heard in the ROCKPALAST professional shot. … and it looks like this. There is a broadcast frame of about 1 hour, so it is shorter than “ROCKPALAST”, but instead (?) the precious single B-side song “Landlord” is delicious. Other than that, “Deathwish” and “Born in the 50’s” will also be performed, and “Message in a Bottle” and “Walking on the Moon” are also great because they are in the midst of big hits. THE POLICE has entered a golden age where everything they put out is a hit, breaking through the thin skin of the breakthrough. This is a masterpiece of a sound board where the passionate performance of such an accelerated period is poured into the brain with the best sound ever. If you are familiar with the conventional version, you will be amazed by the sound, and if you are experiencing it for the first time, you will surely be overwhelmed by the passionate performance. Stereo sound board recording of “Lyon performance on April 8, 1980”. This is a standard sound board broadcast on the French FM program “FEEDBACK”, but this work is a newly excavated reel master that updates the past. In fact, the sound surpasses the conventional version (by a large amount). There is no sparse feeling or distortion like the conventional version, and the density of the glossy and densely packed is completely different. Although the French DJ is sometimes heard, the sound quality itself is official. You can enjoy the rich early songs such as the precious “Landlord” with the best sound.
