In 1982, AC/DC returned to Japan, which was a monumental achievement in Japanese HR/HM history. The original recording that allows you to experience the highlight performance on site is brushed up. Introducing a press 2CD that permanently preserves the supreme sound that has undergone detailed mastering of “GRAF ZEPPELIN”.
The performance of “June 18, 1982: Nippon Budokan” is imbued in this work. It is the masterpiece audience recording. Their first visit to Japan was in 1981 during the “Back in Black” era, and their second visit to Japan was in 1982 during the “Devil’s Invitation” era. This was the only two visits to Japan during the Golden Age, and the third was 19 years later. Let’s take a bird’s-eye view of the two consecutive visits to Japan here.

● 1981
・February 1: Osaka Expo Hall
・February 2: Aichi Labor Hall
・February 4 “TOKYO 1981 1ST NIGHT: DEFINITIVE MASTER”
・February 5 “DEFINITIVE NIHON SEINENKAN 1981” & TV broadcast
● 1982
・June 4: Osaka Festival Hall
・ June 6: Osaka Expo Hall
・June 8: Kyoto Kaikan
・June 9: Nagoya City Public Hall
・June 10: Nippon Budokan ← This work
*Only representative press masterpieces on each day.

The above 9 performances. The Tokyo performance of the first visit to Japan was two days at Nippon Seinenkan, but the next year in 1982, it advanced to Nippon Budokan. It was the last live in Japan of the golden age, which is exactly the highlight.
This work is a masterpiece audience recording that vacuum-packed such a historic night. A famous recording that was digitized directly from the original cassette of the master craftsman “Miracle Man” and was once loved as “LIVE AT BUDOKAN”. It is one that “GRAF ZEPPELIN” has re-polished the inscription master. The sound is just the best ever. The important thing here is that the mastering method of “GRAF ZEPPELIN” is natural-oriented. Rather than gaining sound pressure for a quick listening experience, he emphasizes maximizing the sound of the master tape and reproducing the “sound output of the band” that actually existed beyond it. It is.
To be more specific, it is an accumulation of detailed corrections and corrections. A separate recording of “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” head missing “AT BUDOKAN (Shades 190)” has achieved the longest record, but what is more important is the sound that penetrates the whole story. Pitch correction and correction of phase shifts are performed at a level that does not allow deviations of 1/1000th of a second. Bandwidth analysis is also essential. We will reproduce the “on-site sound” by fine-tuning the fine deviations caused by the aging of the tape and the playback environment.
The resulting sound is full of natural feeling. The subtle distortion that was left on the already released board (this is difficult to put into words, but it may be easier to feel the applause between songs than the performance sound) is also naturally arranged. You can experience the real experience of “Budokan AC / DC” for one night only before and after. And that full show is historical. At our shop, the original recording “TOKYO 1981 1ST NIGHT: DEFINITIVE MASTER (Zodiac 449)”, which came to Japan for the first time, is also very popular, so let’s compare and organize it.

70’s Classics (9 songs)
・ Rock soul: Bad Boy Boogie / Whole Lotta Rosie / Let There Be Rock
・Others: The Jack/T.N.T./Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (★)/Sin City/Shot Down In Flames/Highway To Hell
● 80’s (6 songs)
・Back in Black: Hells Bells/Shoot To Thrill (★)/Back In Black/Rock And Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution (★)/You Shook Me All Night Long
・Devil’s Invitation: Let’s Get It Up (★)
* Note: “★” marks are songs that were not performed during the first visit to Japan.

… and it looks like this. In addition to the title song that came to be played with the release of “DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP” in the United States, the killer songs “Shoot To Thrill” and “Rock And Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution” from “Back in Black” are also included. showing off. In my current sense, it is surprising that I did not play in Japan for the first time, but it is also a real-time sense that it is not decided which song will be the representative song. And the best feeling is “Let’s Get It Up”. This song itself is also a rare song limited to “FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK Tour”, but what is even more decisive is not doing the title song of “Devil’s Invitation”. It is now an inevitable highlight song, but at this point it has not established its position. It is exactly the fragrance of the times.
Instead of “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)”, the highlight is “T.N.T.”, and this work ends with a storm of “Encore! Encore!” With this “T.N.T.” at the end, AC / DC’s visit to Japan will be sealed for a long time of 19 years. Nippon Budokan in 1982, which became a legend with a live that was too intense. This work is a document album that can be present at the legendary scene with the finest natural sound. Please fully experience the legendary night that shines in the history of Japanese and Western music with the press 2CD that will be permanently preserved.
