Whitesnake/Aichi,Japan 1981 Upgrade

For us Japanese… No, for enthusiasts all over the world who love “Classic SNAKE”, “Japan in 1981” is special. This is a reprint of the super famous recording that reigns on the throne. Anyway, this work is special. It is too special. Its true identity is the best audience album of the performance “June 27, 1981: Nagoya City Public Hall”. It is a recording also known for the great masterpiece “COME AN’ GET THEM” that once swept the world. It is a live album that has become legendary among enthusiasts all over the world. Why is this work and “Japan in 1981” special? To explain it, we will start with a little detour… [A tour that does not have a sound board even though it is the apex] In the first place, “COME AN’ GET IT TOUR” is special. It was the last tour of the so-called “Classic SNAKE”, a tour where they sent their great masterpiece to the second place in the UK after refining the taste by stacking each album one by one. It was the pole of British blues rock. However, despite this success, there are no soundboards or professional shots. In fact, in addition to the official editions, there are plenty of superb stereo soundboard albums from each tour. This is a good opportunity, so let’s organize them a little. ●SNAKEBITE TOUR: “VINTAGE COLLECTION 1978” ●TROUBLE TOUR: “STEAL THE NIGHT” etc. ●LOVEHUNTER TOUR: “JUST YOU ‘N’ ME” etc. ●READY AN’ WILLING TOUR “LIVE…IN THE HEART OF THE CITY COMPLETE” etc. ●COME AN’ GET IT TOUR: None at all! ←★Here★ (Note: Only representative soundboards are included in all tours) In this way, there are official-grade soundboards on all tours, but the only exception is the “COME AN’ GET IT TOUR”. Because it is such an air pocket tour, enthusiasts all over the world are craving it. A “soundboard substitute” has been in demand for a long history. The dryness is such that every time a powerful audience recording appears, it becomes a topic of conversation as “It’s a sound board!” In the history of the exploration of “COME AN’ GET IT TOUR”, Japan was the most prolific. Not only were recordings mass-produced in a short schedule, but the level was unusually high. Most of the recordings that enthusiasts made a fuss about as “It’s a sound board!” were Japanese masters. This is what it means that “Japan in 1981 is special”. [The best live album that is also the pinnacle of the world] Our shop has made albums of the three most apex albums from the original masters. Let’s check the schedule for these three here.・June 22: Asakusa International Theater “ASAKUSA ROCK!” ・June 23: Asakusa International Theater ・June 25: Nakano Sun Plaza “DRAGONSNAKE” ・June 26: Nakano Sun Plaza ・June 27: Nagoya City Public Hall [This work] ・June 29: Osaka Festival Hall ・June 30: Osaka Festival Hall The above three. “ASAKUSA ROCK!”, “DRAGONSNAKE”, and this work. These are the three. In our shop, we have introduced all of them as “audience recordings”, but foreign enthusiasts who cannot read Japanese information make a big fuss every time they appear, saying “It’s a sound board!” It was inevitable that they were all super clear and direct recordings like a sound board. Among these three, the first to appear and continue to reign on the “throne” with the highest sound quality is the Nagoya performance’s masterpiece “COME AN’ GET THEM”, and this work. In fact, the quality of this work is ultimate. All three of the above are clear recordings like soundboards, but the extremely thick “core” that roars from this work and the direct feeling that even the recording position is not known are outstanding. Of course, the top of “Japan in 1981” is the top of the world. It is also “Tour No. 1” that suppressed many famous recordings that have been called “sound boards” until now. And even now, more than ten years after its appearance, it has never ceded its “throne”. In fact, this time we also re-digitized from the original master, but the quality did not exceed the original version. Of course, it is easy to make a version with a slightly changed sound by equalization, but the superb sound did not allow it. Therefore, in this work, the ultimate sound that could not be exceeded even with modern technology was reproduced in detail as it is. It is not only the sound that this work is perfect. The essential live performance itself is also worthy of being called the pinnacle of “Classic SNAKE”. The best selections from “SNAKEBITE” to “COME AN’ GET IT” are lined up, and the performance is the height of maturity. What is especially pleasing is the new songs at that time that “Classic SNAKE” never left on the sound board. Even so, “Don’t Break My Heart Again” and “Wine, Women An’ Song” were performed during the Cozy era, but “Till The Day I Die” and “Would I Lie To You” were never performed on the later tours. There is no line recording regardless of the members, and this work is definitely the best sound and best version. If you only love “Metal SNAKE” after “SERPENS ALBUS”, this work is unnecessary. However, if you love “Classic SNAKE”, this is No. 1. There is no WHITESNAKE that is more mellow, rich, and has a better sound than this work. A lustrous slide like early FLEETWOOD MAC, a beautiful twin like WISHBONE ASH, a deep singing voice like FREE, and the organ and drums of DEEP PUURPLE themselves… “Classic SNAKE” condenses the flavor of “British Blues Rock” by taking advantage of the strengths of the later generation. This is the pinnacle of that. To be honest, I would like you to realize how amazing “Japan in 1981” was with the trilogy “ASAKUSA ROCK!” and “DRAGONSNAKE”. But first, let’s start with the first one. This work is the “top” that it deserves. A legendary masterpiece that has not been surpassed even after ten years since it was sold out. The eternal live album is back in style.
