The rainbow-colored treasures are set for permanent preservation on 2 CDs. The "treasures" are the great masterpieces "RISING" and "LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL". The first Japanese LPs "MWF 1004" and "MPF 1156", which have been recognized by audiophiles around the world, have been meticulously digitized to create the best albums in history. Rock masterpieces are the ones that strive for the best sound. In modern works, where the entire process is digitized, there is almost no difference in sound quality, but this was not the case in the analog era. The quality of the sound was determined by differences in media, countries, and pressings. Moreover, the original mother tapes have deteriorated over time, so it is not enough to simply pull out the original. Pursuing the "best" is the life's work of enthusiasts, a journey similar to the quest for the Holy Grail. "RISING" and "LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL", which are recognized as the "best" by enthusiasts around the world, were actually made in Japan. In the case of 70s British rock, in most cases the best is the original UK pressing LP. In other countries, pressings are made from master tapes sent from the UK, but in most cases the quality is slightly lower. However, for some reason, the situation is different for RAINBOW, and the first LPs of the Japanese pressings of "RISING" and "LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL" in particular were the best. The rumor that "Japanese pressings are the best" has been whispered for a long time, but due to the common sense that "UK is best", it was at the level of an urban legend. However, one overseas enthusiast has put all his effort into verifying this. Not to mention remastered CDs, he has spent years gathering and digitizing all the best quality copies of "RISING" and "LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL" from all countries where they were released, on LP, cassette, and CD. The "answer" he arrived at was the original Japanese LP. Indeed, Japan's cutting technology has been well-known since then, but the reason why it became the best is actually unknown. Was the quality of the Japanese disc good, was it durable, or was it a mix-up with the master for his home country, or did all of these things happen at the same time? Of course, as this was a project that a core maniac had taken on with his life on the line, the digitization was also extremely precise. The LPs used were of course in mint condition, and the equipment used was a high-end environment that would impress even professionals. This work was born under the belief that not only was time and effort spared, but money as well. This work was born in this way, and it is truly a "great masterpiece that you have never heard before." Despite being completely non-mastered, it is a perfect CD without a single needle crack, but what is even more surprising is the extremely vivid sound itself. The natural sound and sharp sound edges surpass any CD version, and not only is the beauty of each sound, but the three-dimensionality that makes you feel the gaps between each instrument is wonderful. When it comes to this kind of sound quality, one tends to suspect the placebo effect, but it is not just "good/bad", but you can see the details of the sound you have never heard before, so it is not a matter of whether you believe it or not. Of course, the current remastered CDs are the best that record companies can do. However, no matter how powerful the remastering, the details that have been crushed and disappeared will never return. Even if you stretch out the remaining unevenness, it will not be the delicate sound pattern of the original. This is not a media battle of "CD vs. analog". It is the result that the original Japanese LP was the best in terms of "how well the sound recorded on the master tape is preserved". The rare masterpieces "RISING" and "LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL". A timeless masterpiece that is the fruition of the brilliant talents of British rock, Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio, and Cozy Powell. This is the supreme version. This is not just the pinnacle of RAINBOW, but a cultural heritage of rock. This is a two-disc set to preserve this supreme product and supreme sound forever. The most brilliant rainbow on earth.
