Rainbow/England,UK 1980 Upgrade

“The 1st MONSTERS OF ROCK” was a symbol of the Graham Bonnet era, the final performance of the hero Cozy Powell, and a highlight among the highlights in the entire history of RAINBOW. The highest peak edition of the legendary recording that captures the whole picture is now available. [Traditional Kinney recording reprinted in the highest quality] What is engraved in this work is, of course, “Donnington performance on August 16, 1980”. This is a long audience recording. This show has been passed down through official compilation discs, TV pro shots, etc., and an official live album was also made available in 2016. However, the longest one and the one that has conveyed the entire view of the show for many years is the prestigious Kinney audience recording. This is a masterpiece recording that has been known as a classic since the LP era, and continues to be loved even in the CD era with numerous editions. This work is a two-disc set in which the traditional recording has been refined in detail and revived with the highest quality ever. As it is a very famous audience recording, if you have paid attention to this article, you will be familiar with the uniqueness of the recording. However, this "accuracy" must be something you have never experienced before. Recently, our store has been reproducing classic recordings with improved accuracy. WHITESNAKE's "DEFINITIVE NOTTINGHAM 1984" and RAINBOW's "OSAKA 1976 SOUNDBOARD ARCHIVES" have been well received regardless of AUD/SBD. The point is the precision of mastering, and there is no pointless increase in sound pressure or forced noise reduction. Using sources close to the original source available, the original sound is accurately digitized down to the finest detail. The treatment takes full advantage of the natural feel of the sound. Not only does it handle just the right pitch and small noise, but it also finely adjusts the outline and clarity of each band, and precisely adjusts the balance and stereo feel of each instrument. The phase shift has also been corrected down to 1/1000 of a second. If I were to compare this feeling to an official work, it would be similar to the CD version by MOBILE FIDELITY or NIMBUS SUPERCUT. Of course, the prestigious official field is not supposed to work on underground sound sources, but you can think of them as applying and refining their sound aesthetics to audience tapes and leaked soundboards. This work is the “MONSTERS OF ROCK 1980” version of such a reprint series. Even the roaring sound of the aircraft in “Catch The Rainbow” is a super realistic and natural highest peak board. [A legendary live album that covers the whole show] Moreover, in the case of this work, it's not just the sound. There is no omission of even the slightest recording on various CDs and original LPs. For example, "Catch The Rainbow." There is a cut at the end that seems to be a tape change, but the ends of the cut have been different until now. This work goes back to the original LP, which was the longest, and includes a performance section that is about 20 seconds longer than before. Of course, this does not mean that it is a "round copy reproduction of the original LP". For example, the keyboard intro of "Lost In Hollywood" is not broken up with a disc change (as per modern standards), but the medley is completely recorded. You can enjoy the approximately 30-minute "Lost In Hollywood Suite" seamlessly. However, it is a natural process in modern sense, but when it comes to “MONSTERS OF ROCK 1980”, the emotion is quite different. After all, "Lost In Hollywood Suite" lasts for about 30 minutes, including each person's solo and the 9th song, but the highlight is Cozy's drum solo! It is confirmed that this day will be Cozy's final performance, and at the end of the energetic drum solo, Graham calls out "Cozy Powell!" three times in a row, followed by a super dramatic reprise of "Lost In Hollywood." It's a medley that builds up towards this historical highlight, so it would be disappointing if the intro were broken or shortened. (recorded in ). Even bigger than the medley. The lengthening of the soundboard in the official version released in 2016 was also revolutionary, but there are still songs that were cut. This may be too late, but let's sort out the contents. DISC 1: Beginning・Eyes Of The World/Love's No Friend (★)/Since You Been Gone/Stargazer/Man On The Silver Mountain (★)/Catch The Rainbow DISC 2: LOST IN HOLLYWOOD Suite・Keyboards Intro./Lost In Hollywood / A Light In The Black / Beethoven 9th / 1812 Overture / Lost In Hollywood (Reprise) DISC 2: Final stage / Encore Lazy / All Night Long / Blues / Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Long Live Rock 'n' Roll / Kill The King (★)／Long Live Rock 'n' Roll (Reprise) (★) *Note: Songs/parts marked with "★" are cut from the official version "LIVE AT DONINGTON 1980". ...and it looks like this. "Love's No Friend", which lasts about 8 minutes, "Man On The Silver Mountain", which is intensely exciting, "Kill The King", which explodes with a guitar crash, etc. Many of these famous scenes are still the exclusive domain of Kinney recording. If DEEP PURPLE's biggest highlight was California Jam, RAINBOW was definitely the "1st MONSTERS OF ROCK". This work is a live album that allows you to experience the scene live at the highest quality. A supreme piece that has refined Kinney's legendary recording using every method. The ultimate edition that precisely brushes up the legendary audience recording of "August 16, 1980 Donington Performance". Not only does it handle just the right pitch and small noise, but it also finely adjusts the outline and clarity of each band, and precisely adjusts the balance and stereo feel of each instrument. The accuracy of correcting phase shifts down to 1/1000 seconds is unprecedented. The tape change part at the end of “Catch The Rainbow” is about 20 seconds longer than the previous one, and there is no tearful farewell of the keyboard intro at the beginning of “Lost In Hollywood”. Including "Love's No Friend," "Man On The Silver Mountain," and "Kill The King," which cannot be heard on the official version, you can experience the legendary night at the highest quality ever.
