A rare masterpiece "AVALON". A different version of that strange version has been decided to be released. Although it is a different version, this work is neither a demo nor a live performance, but a genuine official product. This is a detailed reprint of the Japanese CD "32VD-1051", which was previously released for only one year in 1987. In the first place, it was released on CD in Japan in 1985. Initially, the first CD released by Polydor was a normal CD with no special features. However, what was strange was the version that was re-released on CD by Virgin in 1987, two years later. It turned out to be a placenta in which the order of the songs was dramatically changed. Let's summarize its boldness... [Old analog A side] 1. More Than This 2. The Space Between 3. Avalon → India 4. India → Avalon 5. While My Heart Is Still Beating → True To Life [Old analog B-side] 6. The Main Thing 7. Take A Chance With Me → While My Heart Is Still Beating 8. To Turn You On → Take A Chance With Me 9. True To Life → To Turn You On 10. Tara and this situation. Since it is a CD, there is no A and B side, but I have listed them separately to make it easier to understand. Although I can still see (no, I don't know) that "Avalon" and "India" have been swapped, what follows is "True To Life". ``While My Heart Is Still Beating'', which was removed, was inserted as the second song on the B side, and after that it has been dropped... Although it is fresh, the flow from "India" to "While My Heart Is Still Beating" that was brilliant in the original has disappeared, and if you listen to it without looking at the list, you will be left asking "Huh?" repeatedly. It has become. Why this situation occurred is a complete mystery. The 1985 Polydor edition used a press made in West Germany, so the 1987 edition of this work is the first disc produced in Japan. However, the same 1987 Virgin also released a UK CD and a South African CD, but they are all the same as the original LP. Only the Japanese version was different, and the order of the songs printed on the case was also incorrect (?). I don't think it was a prank on the part of the person in charge, and it must have been made based on the master that was probably sent from the home country. What on earth happened to that home country master...? It was not until the following year that it was determined that this was not the intention. In January 1988, the 1987 version was discontinued, and in May, Virgin Japan released a third CD. There, it returned to its original form, and the other versions disappeared into the darkness of history. Although it is such a rare version of “AVALON”, there is one more thing to listen to in this work. It's the sound. As mentioned earlier, this was the first CD produced in Japan, and its natural sound has been preserved forever. The non-remastered flat transfer sound is extremely beautiful and delicate. Moreover, because the time of digitization was early, the master tape did not deteriorate over time, and it faithfully conveys the original sound produced by ROXY MUSIC. ``AVALON'' is a bit strange, drawn with beautiful and natural sounds. This is a revived version of the extremely valuable official version that was distributed only in Japan for one year from January 1987 to January 1988. Another version of a famous album created by historical mischief. Please enjoy this opportunity.
