IRON MAIDEN in 1981, when Bruce Dickinson was about to create the masterpiece "The Magic Seal". This live album will give you the best experience of that warm-up gig. [Club gig just after Bruce joined] This work is engraved with "Ruskin Arms performance on December 23, 1981". It is a superb audience recording of a secret gig held under the pseudonym "GENGHIS KHAN". 1981 was the biggest turning point in IRON MAIDEN's history, with the replacement of "Paul Di'Anno → Bruce Dickinson". However, Bruce did not create "The Magic Seal" immediately after joining the band, but rather performed a warm-up mini tour and club gigs before that. They thoroughly worked out their compatibility and ensemble with each other. This work was recorded at that moment "just before the 3rd album". First, let's look back at the situation from the schedule. 1981 (September: Diano fired → Dickinson joined) October 26-30: Italy (5 shows) ←※KILLER TOUR WITH DICKINSON (Composing "The Magic Mark" begins) November 15: Rainbow Theater show December 23: Ruskin Arms show ←★This work★ 1982 February 25-March 20: UK #1 (20 shows) ←※BEAST OVER ENGLAND (March 22nd "The Magic Mark" released) March 22nd-May 1st: Europe (35 shows) May 11th-August 22nd: North America #1 (72 shows) ←※BEAST OVER PALLADIUM August 25th-28th: UK #2 (3 shows) ←※BEAST OVER ENGLAND, September 1st - October 23rd: North America #2 (38 shows), November 7th - 21st: Australia (10 shows), November 26th - December 10th: Japan (10 shows)This is the full view of Bruce's activities from joining the band to "The Magic Seal". Immediately after joining, he performed a mini tour in Italy as part of the "Killer World Tour" (you can enjoy the pattern in "KILLER TOUR WITH DICKINSON"). After that, he started composing "The Magic Seal". In order to try out the new songs in front of the audience, he performed two secret gigs. The Ruskin Arms performance in this work is such a secret gig. It was the last show in 1981. By the way, Ruskin Arms was also a venue that symbolizes the early days of IRON MAIDEN. Their most live performance record is Kurt & Horses (36 times) in the semi-professional era, but the next most is Ruskin (25 times). However, these two venues are too small for world-class bands to perform. Kurt & Horses stopped performing live before their debut, and this was their last at Ruskin. In other words, this work was the beginning of a new chapter, "joining Bruce," and the conclusion of the previous chapter, "local Ruskin." [The finest closed-room sound is brushed up] This work, which vacuum-packs such a turning point, is a club sound with a hot sense of closeness. It is the 1st gene master of the well-known famous recording, and although it is an audience recording that has absorbed real enthusiasm, the thickness of the core and the fineness of the details are more amazing than a poor FM broadcast. And above all, the sense of closeness. Although it is clear that it is a spatial recording in terms of tone, the live performance of the five people in front of you rushes in without any time lag. The sense of audacious attack is exactly the closed-room feeling that only a club can have. Moreover, this work is the ultimate edition that updates the highest peak of such a famous recording. In fact, the recording itself has been known for a long time, and our "SECRET GIG 1981" has been very well received as the best master. This work brushes up such a best master. Of course, we have not made any unnecessary sound pressure gains. After adjusting the pitch and phase again, we corrected the band analysis and stereo feeling. As a result of pursuing "reproduction of the sound produced on-site" and "perfection as a musical work", a sound that maintains the goodness of the sound while enhancing the power of the bass was realized. Such a closed room sound depicts a rich full stage unique to the early days. Speaking of the "Blues / Clive Bar" era, "BEAST OVER ENGLAND", which reproduced the official sound board, is the pinnacle work. Let's organize it while comparing it here. Steel Virgin (7 songs) Sanctuary / Remember Tomorrow (★) / Running Free / Phantom Of The Opera / Iron Maiden / Transylvania / Prowler Killers (6 songs) Wrathchild / Genghis Khan (★) / Killers / Another Life / Murders In The Rue Morgue / Drifter Magic Seal (2 songs) Run To The Hills / The Prisoner *Note: The "★" mark indicates a song that cannot be heard on the soundboard masterpiece "BEAST OVER ENGLAND". ...And so on. Based on the "Killer World Tour", the style is interwoven with new songs "Run To The Hills" and "The Prisoner". Of course, these two songs are world premieres. On the other hand, the best classic is "Remember Tomorrow". After all, this is the last song they played, and it was sealed away until 1993, when Adrian left the band. You can enjoy this precious song with Bruce's best singing from the Beast era. There is another special thing on this day. At the beginning, Bruce greets "All Right, Happy Christmas!", but even after "Iron Maiden" at the end of the show, a chorus of birthday songs celebrating Dave Murray, who turned 25 that day, occurs. You can enjoy the celebratory mood that can only happen on "December 23rd" at Ruskin Arms. Moreover, if you listen carefully here, you can hear a voice saying "Congratulations" in Japanese! Is it an English mishearing, or was there really a Japanese person in the audience? "The Magic Seal" is always the most important candidate in the debate over the best masterpiece. This is a miraculous live album where you can witness a club filled with the band potential that created that great album. It is a piece that allows you to experience the scene that everyone wants 100% live with the highest peak renewal sound. This is a superb audience recording of the secret gig "Ruskin Arms performance on December 23, 1981" just after Bruce Dickinson joined the band. This is the highest peak update board, which has been meticulously mastered to polish the best masters of famous recordings, and the superb sense of adhesion is hot. The core's thickness and the fineness of the details are better than a poor FM broadcast, and the closeness of the five live performances in front of you without any time lag is also intense. You can fully experience a delicious club gig with the best sound, including the world premiere of "Run To The Hills" and "The Prisoner", and "Remember Tomorrow", which features the young Bruce's singing.
