THE STYLE COUNCIL from the "THE COST OF LOVING" era, which was a big milestone for the live band while recording the second place hit in the UK. Introducing a superb live album that allows you to fully experience the last world tour. This work is recorded in the "Rotterdam performance on March 7, 1987". It is a superb audience recording that tells the whole story. Speaking of "THE COST OF LOVING Tour", it is a time when definitive masterpieces such as the official video "LIVE AT FULL HOUSE" and the soundboard album "ROYAL ALBERT HALL 1987 FM BROADCAST" are crowded. Nevertheless, this work is the masterpiece that I would like to recommend the most. In order to explain the meaning, let's first take a bird's-eye view of the activity history at that time and check the positional relationship of each.・February 6th + 7th: Appearance at Sanremo Music Festival《February 7th "THE COST OF LOVING" released》・February 14th - March 18th: Europe #1 (21 performances)←★Here★・April 2nd - 6th: Japan (5 performances)・April 25th - May 23rd: Europe #2 (7 performances)・August 30th - September 7th: Europe #3 (3 performances)・October 17th + 23rd / November 24th + 25th: UK (4 performances)This is THE STYLE COUNCIL in 1987. They came to Japan in 1988/1989, but their last tour of the country was in 1987. The Rotterdam performance of this work was the main act of "Europe #1". And this "Europe #1" is the leg where masterpieces are concentrated. Let's focus on the schedule further. Details of "Europe #1" ・February 14-17 (4 performances) *February 18 "ROYAL ALBERT HALL 1987" ・February 19-28 (9 performances) *March 7: Rotterdam performance ←★This work★ ・March 8 + 11 (2 performances) *March 12 "LIVE AT FULL HOUSE (official)" ・March 13-18 (3 performances) ... In this way, this work was between the two masterpieces "ROYAL ALBERT HALL 1987" and "LIVE AT FULL HOUSE" This work, which vacuum-packed such a scene, is a superb product of the "Is this the audience?" class. There is no sparse feeling at all in the powerful core, and it is full of density and directness. What is even more surprising is the clear details even to the subtleties of the subtleties. Anyway, the air is transparent, and each sound is tightly tightened to the contours. Thanks to that, the sense of separation and stereo of each instrument is enormous, and even if they overlap many times, they do not mix. There is a real applause (very slightly) between songs, and then I finally remember "Oh, is it a customer recording", but during the performance, it is almost completely the same as a (super high-end) sound board. What is more wonderful than such a superb sound is the listening response of a full show that exceeds 93 minutes. After all, the FM sound board's "ROYAL ALBERT HALL 1987" was about 56 minutes, and the official "LIVE AT FULL HOUSE" was only 42 minutes. This work allows you to fully experience "THE COST OF LOVING Tour" with a volume of songs that cannot be compared to them. Now, let's check the full set while comparing. Cost of Loving (8 songs) Walking The Night/Angel (★★)/Waiting/The Cost Of Loving/Fairy Tales (★★)/It Didn't Matter/A Woman's Song/Heavens Above Our Favorite Shop (5 songs) Shout To The Top!/With Everything To Lose/Homebreakers/The Lodgers (Or She Was Only A Shopkeeper's Daughter) (★)/Internationalists Others (8 songs) Singles: The Piccadilly Trail (★★)/The Whole Point II (★★)/Mick's Company (★)/(When You) Call Me Others: Everlasting Love (★)/My Ever Changing Moods/You're The Best Thing (★★)/Money-Go-Round (★) *Note: Songs marked with "★" are not included in the soundboard album "ROYAL ALBERT HALL 1987 FM BROADCAST". In particular, the "★★" mark is a song that could not be heard even with the professional shot "TOKYO 1987" and the official video "LIVE AT FULL HOUSE". This set is based on two axes, "OUR FAVOURITE SHOP" and "THE COST OF LOVING", and the latter in particular shows all songs except "Right to Go". It is also a "live performance version of THE COST OF LOVING". Moreover, it is also sprinkled with early representative songs, various single B-side masterpieces, and "Everlasting Love" which was not recorded in the studio. It is not just a large number of songs, but also an extremely colorful and comprehensive full set. It is a full live album that allows you to experience the heyday show in one go with the best sound that does not give in to official works and FM sound boards. If you value the music itself more than the recording method, this work will be a masterpiece. A cultural heritage album in such a dimension. A superb audience recording of the "Rotterdam performance on March 7, 1987". There is no sparse feeling at all in the powerful core, and the contours of each sound are tightly tightened. The density, direct feeling, separation feeling, and stereo feeling are all tremendous, and it is a superb sound that reminds you of "Oh, it's an audience" with a slight applause between songs. It is a cultural heritage album that allows you to experience the best of a full show with eight songs from "THE COST OF LOVING" on a large board, various single B-side masterpieces, and precious songs such as "Everlasting Love".
