A new upgraded master of a famous recording that was whispered to be the "highest peak audience in Japan in 1978" has been discovered. It is available on 2 CDs. The record-breaking master contains the "January 12, 1978: Hiroshima Prefectural Gymnasium" performance. Before checking the record-breaking quality, let's first check the show's position on the schedule. January 11: Nagoya City Public Hall January 12: Hiroshima Prefectural Gymnasium [This work] January 13: Kumamoto Prefectural Gymnasium January 14: Fukuoka Kyuden Memorial Gymnasium January 16 + 17: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall January 18: Kyoto Hall January 20: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall (Note: Only the first 8 performances) In 1978, Ritchie Blackmore's huge tour of 16 performances, the most in the history of his visit to Japan, was realized. The Hiroshima performance in this work was the second performance. This day has long been known for live albums such as the masterpieces "THE SHIP FROM HIROSHIMA" and "HIROSHIMA 1978: FRONT ROW". The newly excavated recording this time was the main part of "THE SHIP FROM HIROSHIMA", and was also distributed as a sound board at the time. This time, the young master of the generation was brought from a unique route. The sound is truly superb. As expected of a sound board, the close contact without a sense of distance is incredible, and the details are super vivid. Although it absorbs the enthusiasm of the peak of popularity, it is far beyond the thick and meaty performance sound. It is certainly a superb recording that can only be thought of as a sound board. Moreover, the upgrade of this master is enormous. "THE SHIP FROM HIROSHIMA" was also wonderful, but compared to the new master, the hiss was large, the bass was weak, the mid-high range was kinky and light. Only the guitar and vocals sounded strangely outstanding. However, this new master has a thick and direct guitar and vocals, and the silence without hiss is deep as jet black, and the mid-low range is thick and meaty. The direct sound with a tactile feel is full of response. Although it is too real to be called "official", it is a superb sound that makes you want to call it that. However, although everything seems too amazing, this recording traditionally had one problem. In fact, it is an incomplete recording, and the type that cuts off intermittently even during the song. Even the masterpiece "THE SHIP FROM HIROSHIMA" was a live album made by mixing two recordings. This new excavation master is much longer than the one used in "THE SHIP FROM HIROSHIMA", and you can hear the important songs in the first half such as "Over The Rainbow", "Kill The King", "Mistreated", and "16th Century Greensleeves" completely, and even in the long medley, the main parts of "Man On The Silver Mountain" and "Still I'm Sad", as well as "Blues" and "Beethoven 9th" are also complete. However, there were missing parts of a few seconds to a few minutes in other parts of the medley, "Catch The Rainbow", "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll" and "Do You Close Your Eyes". The missing parts are complicated, so I will omit the details, but in this work, such missing parts are filled in with "THE SHIP FROM HIROSHIMA", and the parts that are still missing (MC and drum solo) are supplemented with "HIROSHIMA 1978: FRONT ROW". Of course, the main new master and sound were mastered to achieve the longest complete recording album in history. In fact, it seems that the finest parts in "THE SHIP FROM HIROSHIMA" were not recorded using the best recordings, and were discarded in their entirety. However, in this work, even the shortest parts are made the most of the newly excavated super-best master. The highest peak sound was achieved to the limit. The wonderful thing about the Hiroshima performance, which thus broke the record... As mentioned above, this was the second performance on this day. The first day's Nagoya performance "NAGOYA 1978 (Rising Arrow-060)" was a live album in which Ronnie's singing took center stage, but the main character of this work is Ritchie Blackmore himself. Although the performance in Nagoya was full of enthusiasm, it seemed that the phrases spun by improvisation did not keep up with the enthusiasm. However, in this Hiroshima performance, the phrases also have inspiration, and delicious improvisations that show off their true talents come out one after another. Furthermore, the whole band turns around in good shape as if pulled by such Ritchie. Although Ronnie does not show as much singing as in Nagoya, Cozy is also in top form. It is because of the rich sound of the mid-low range that Bob Daisley and David Stone's presence also shine on this live album. An upgrade of a famous recording that was distributed as a sound board and was even called "the best peak of the 1978 visit to Japan". It is a live album that will truly break records. A new masterpiece from 1978 that makes the most of the brilliance of the newly excavated master and achieves the longest seamless recording in history.
