QUEEN in the "THE GAME" era, where both albums and singles were sent to No. 1 in the United States, and "GREATEST HITS" became a historic hit. Two unpublished masters who have vacuum-packed the performance in Japan and have been unveiled for the first time in the world have unearthed two at the same time! It is a miracle simultaneous release decision. Although the two masters this time were excavated from a route that has nothing to do with each other, they were recorded on the same day. It is a shocking audience recording of the "February 18, 1981: Nippon Budokan" performance.

[Ultra-high-quality sound board that jumped out of the topical master collection]
Although four types of recordings have been known for this show, both of these two are the best shock masters for the first time. While the simultaneous release "BUDOKAN 1981 FINAL NIGHT: COMPLETE MASTER (Wardour-475)" is the complete version of the show as its name suggests, this work is an incomplete but overwhelming live album with the highest peak sound. You may be wondering "what is imperfect?", But in fact, this "imperfect" is also a reason, and the reason is not a recording mistake but an incident that occurred at the scene. Until then, it's something to listen to.
Before the content that was worrisome, first of all, the position of the show. At our shop, we have archived many masterpieces of Japan tours in their heyday, but all of our visits to Japan in 1981 tend to be a little confusing because they are all Nippon Budokan. Now let's look back at the schedule at the time and organize the collection.

・ February 12 "BATTLE THEME (Nippon Budokan)"
・ February 13 "DEFINITIVE BUDOKAN 1981 2ND NIGHT"
-Off for 2 days-
・ February 16 "BUDOKAN 1981 3RD NIGHT"
・ February 17 "DEFINITIVE BUDOKAN 1981 4TH NIGHT"
・ February 18: Nippon Budokan ← ★ This work ★
* Note: Only representative works on each day.

Above, all 5 performances. So far, we have introduced live albums from the first day to the fourth day, but this work is the only remaining last day. It is the first appearance recording. What's more, the surprise is that this work has updated the highest and highest peaks ever. On this final day, four types of recordings were known, including recordings not handled by our shop, but this work sounds better than any of them.
Actually, the sound is shocking. It must be a vivid audience recording with a meticulous clapping, but the essential performance sound / singing voice is completely out of the common sense of the guest record. A powerful and on core is struck in front of you, and the details that accompany it are also super-detailed. Even on a bass that is difficult to record, the rugged attack sound and the groove created by the series will shine brightly in black. It's definitely Nippon Budokan only in 1981, but it doesn't have a reverberant component like the outdoors in terms of sound. Although there is evidence of audience recording in the snare sound, it is almost a sound board ... it is also the finest sound at the official work level.
There is also a reason why it became such a superb sound. In addition to the good position of "Arena E row", the recording technique itself is more than that. Some of you may have come to the point, but the person who worked on this work is a person who is talking about super-name recordings such as WHITESNAKE, Jeff Beck, THE POLICE, AC / DC and so on. Its quality has won high praise as "official work level" and "Japanese Mike Millard", but this work is also a collection of such masters.
