And by hiring the familiar Eniigma as a mastering engineer, the world’s best underground sound is realized without destroying the sound image of the precious sound source!!! Although The Police is a punk band with a minimum number of members, the number of delicate sounds is outstanding, and it would be impossible for an amateur to master it!!! Finally, “Utsunomiya Dokoyatta?” has seen the light of day in its completed form!!! The 1981 Japan tour is as legendary as their first visit to Japan. You can enjoy a big chorus on “De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da”. It goes without saying, but the masterpieces of the first three albums are packed. In particular, the latest album “ZENYATTA MONDATTA” is a big performance of six songs, and you can enjoy precious numbers such as “Deathwish” and “Man in a Suitcase” that Sting did not play solo with the best sound. And the performance that spells out such a set is also exhilarating. At that time, both Sting and Stewart Copeland were in their 20s, and their voices were fresh and vibrant, and their performances were sharp. It is thrilling to hear such a performance that their original potential explodes. It is ironclad and precise, yet the momentum of the play is dazzling.
