Whitesnake/Lovehunter Original 7 1/2 IPS Magnetic Recording Tapes

The band toured the UK with “TROUBLE” from October 26th to November 23rd, 1978, and in 1979 they toured Europe from February to June, including Germany, France, and Spain. I will do it. In the midst of this, in May, they began work on their second studio album, “LOVEHUNTER.” Among WHITESNAKE’s early works, this work is a masterpiece that has been praised for being particularly WHITESNAKE-like (including not only the music but also the sound artwork). In addition to famous songs such as the title track and “Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues,” you can also enjoy great songs such as “Long Way From Home,” “Medicine Man,” and “Mean Business,” which will make even connoisseurs groan. , all fans will know this in advance. This work is an outrageous piece of work in which the recording master of the same work was directly digitized using the latest equipment for professional use from two reel tapes secretly brought to us by a certain person! The master recorded in the studio before the official release of the album was said to be a version that was put directly onto the reel (a photo of the reel box is shown inside. Each box has a handwritten song title). Its freshness and condition are amazing! The “Reel Master Version” suddenly appeared in the world after more than 30 years. To put it in an analogy, it has a deep flavor like aged wine. An ensemble that gives you a feeling of natural sound spread, rich bass, and a mild, natural depth. When you play the disc, the first song that pops out is “Long Way From Home,” and the sound is so different in terms of “richness” that it can be said to be completely different from what you can hear on current CDs. Until now, official editions have been released as “latest remasters” with different hands and products, but as they continued to change their appearance, the sound became thin and sounded like it had been forcibly equalized. Ta. But what about the overflowing juicy sound in this work? This tone is completely non-equalized! The powerful rhythm of “Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues”, the lustrous vocals of “Help Me Thro’ The Day” and “Medicine Man”, and the lively “Mean Business” ”, you can even think that there is no comparison with the official version. The glossy texture of “Lovehunter” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll Women” is reminiscent of that jacket! “Outlaw”, with Bernie on vocals, was often seen as a different song, but in the original version, it sounds like it opens up a new charm for the band. I don’t care about the emotion of the last song “We Wish You Well”! The deep sound with a natural and wide texture allows you to experience the charm of WHITESNAKE only at that time with the most realistic and attractive tone ever. This is the only master sound in this world. If you listen to this, you might even feel worried at the end, thinking, “Maybe I won’t be able to go back to official status?” Listeners will be able to experience a truly life-changing moment that will change their previous image of “LOVEHUNTER.” After this, the band changed the drummer from Dave Dole to Ian Paice, visited Japan for the first time in 1980, and went on to produce the band’s masterpiece “READY AN’ WILLING”, heading towards the peak of their early days. This sound source is a treasure that is sure to leave hard rock fans in tears! Fans who know the history of the band and enthusiasts who have listened to various official versions of “LOVEHUNTER” will be shocked by this work!
