Since the end of the twists and turns, Ray has left in the middle also Cozy but did not make the participation, the lineup will harden Welcoming the Carmine Appice drum as his successor. Recording is carried out in the form of John concurrently serve as vocal and guitar in the end, BLUE MURDER is now decided to sail as a band of three-piece organization. This three-piece organization becomes a form to take full advantage of a high degree of musicianship as a band , it Became the Foundation That Evaluates to A fan “Live IS great to BLUE MURDER” and the album more than the Stage.
Speaking of existence to Represent the BLUE MURDER Live, Tokyo, August 25, 1989, When all IS SAID and Done. Japan Seinenkan performance. The complete recording at ultra-high quality stereo sound board recording of official grade “INNOCENT CRIME”, Call of the “Treasures of the stamp collector’s item” from mania is also high. Surprised the fan “This is? Whether the Bonus Treatment why, “SAID the video title and synchronize the Sound board Sound source to the highest Audience shot of the same Day FURTHER” TOKYO 1989 “WAS A gem of A collector’s Item only.
But more than Seven years Have passed since the first release , limited re-release of the bonus in addition to the video version of “TOKYO 1989” also a few years ago “INNOCENT CRIME”. Who stayed without a voice saying “really want” cease from the fan itself to get them now is difficult , Began the Collection of BLUE MURDER new Items.
In this Study, the Reduction in the quality Press in the Past the best of both video and Sound! Sound source implementation Remastered to wipe out noise That Seen in the Original Material, Close up to the real performance even while to have a calm to the sound. Video also polish the clearness and resolution further, I have further enhanced the accuracy of the synchrotron source. And the bonus version of the sound source, I adopt the demo that has been excavated from the new tape of Cozy Powell collection. (To a large extent!) Upgrading the point of all, it is the release of as literally eternal!

I record with remastered in professional use modern equipment, it was also used in “INNOCENT CRIME” and 2 disk 1, stereo sound board sound source of the participants outflow. Tone of the opening and “Riot” from “Vally Of The Kings”, was mixed in A separate and distinct Clearness like shining, listen and RESPOND just like the force of official Live Recordings. Live full of hot air, Will Also Knock out your hand to Hear any!
Play it’s great in terms of Sound quality or more! Play Carmine and Tony unfolds in three-party three-way, led by Sykes, will show off the battle he did while having a “unity like the band”, to each member “I have the leading role” and. In “Out Of Love “, if you think that the guitar that sobbing of Gary Moore Beams Sykes shoots, rhythm section that was firmly is or showed great sense of unity, and a thrilling backed by each technique in the installation of the band followed and to hear the performance, sharp scene is also impressive. Tony played by also line funky When I think Carmine to pound out a rhythm from the drum is daring guitar Sykes Komu play hot in tone with the tension thick, with a unique style, whether carved base notes artisanal, play of the three People But Which IS the best Were blended Together and “Billy” and “Ptolemy”, “Jelly Roll”.
Live configuration even while the main the “BLUE MURDER” Collecting Songs, listen to the favorite number or Song HAS the solo time of each person also fun “members equal band” like. A pattern familiar to the audience sung, solo Carmine has been played of ROD STEWART is “Hot Legs” in a row. Also of LED ZEPPELIN “Rain Song” is insert solo of Tony, it will be playing THE FIRM to “Closer” in the encore. Can not stop was played properly on the whole band, a mere cover These are the “BLUE MURDER version”. Great classic “Still Of The Night” is great listening place. Nan’nosono, playing speedy exciting (it feel even impression that “the song that brought the Sykes” equal and cover songs of the above at this time) there is a charm to differ with WHITESNAKE the same period also Misuton at the beginning .
Continuation of the JIMI HENDRIX to “Purple Haze”, A Large enthusiastic performance in Excess of 13 minutes Last IS “Blue Murder”! SUCH as the Item Which CAN enjoy Sound quality up to Live here 115 minutes splendor of the performance and good Music mesh nicely, do not think of little else!

In the latter half of disc 2 of this work, it is available from the six songs Demoteiku of 1st album during manufacture, for about 35 minutes. It was served in the high quality material even “INNOCENT CRIME” studio demo of initial BLUE MURDER, but more than any homogeneous Material in the Past this time! From A tape Master of Cozy Collection, I enjoy ready to AFFIRM what Past best.
In very Early versions and “Ptolemy” and “Riot”, drumming touch of A linear like Cozy IS the best part. Unreleased on “Rockin ‘And Rollin’ Our Lives Away” is a must listen (These songs responsible for the vocals all Sykes) is “Lady Luck”. Any song is also developing arrangements, but the fun of the demo only has room for “white stretch” the. It will not release the ear even for a second one if you’re a fan!

Studio demo take of BLUE MURDER that Cozy participated had been around from the past, but also for enthusiasts around the world, just that the sound source appeared again in 2014 with great sound quality far, the “incident” There it is possible to affirm, in a very important event. Enjoy vivid Demoteiku playing the first time of enhancement of Sykes & Powell & Franklin became a phantom! The (Inner jacket, you read the letter to say Ptolemy of handwriting, and the Riot (label with photo 60-minute tape (TEAC made cassette tape!)

That Ray Gillan will serve as a vocal “It’s Too Late” and tighten the disk last more (I was told the demo “OUT OF MY TREE” at the time before, but recording of the band early in fact) is, mysterious quality why was not official. It would not be regrettable singing of Ray also overwhelming, even if you acquired the work for this one song!!

This even after careful re-master, I have realized the press eagerly-awaited DVD, the definitive edition of the video the same day in the disk 3. Even when it is floating around in the part in the past, this video is what has been rated as “easy to see the video very stable as audience shots at the time.” The Synchronizes the line sources in this video, we have to complete in a way that brings out even more the appeal of excellent image in this work. Clearness to increased screen material to greater than or equal to the bonus release in the past, the color development of the master is also derived from natural and clearer. Difference in the video quality is higher than the its outstanding obviously. Position and orientation of the camera or did not Kira obligatory opening in the “Riot”, I See This somewhat unstable scene. But image quality video and said screen configuration is determined and “Vally Of The Kings” and “Out Of Love” and later, a top-level audience as Shooting more than 20 years ago. Sound board Sound source Superimposed on the video IS more Enhances the Action of the band, I do not let you feel tired at all even after I Kikikon the Sound source version.
Digits IS Different Entertainment and the amount of information that the video has still. Entanglement of Franklin and Sykes that swagger in the vertical and horizontal directions packed with stage, such as a drum to attract Carmine fans in exciting play, the truth of live you never know the only sound source, will be waged in the convincing of the video only. Carmine effect is synchronized drum solo and going by involving the audience in a familiar pattern, such as the performance of Sykes wowed greatly hall in the “Still Of The Night”, sound board sound and video IS Outstanding. From the beginning of the Last “Blue Murder”, fans More Fan SHOULD Would stare with A Fresh Feeling!
Everyone Also Knows, That Their Play in Live WAS SUCH Amazing Thing as “A picture IS worth A Thousand Words” exactly. They show what kind of movement in live, or had fueled fan how · · ·. Intuitively, a scene that could be understood to be doing to listen several times, you will understand in a moment if this video sound source.

BLUE MURDER that Dynasty was a boom of heavy metal while celebrating the change, had combines performances in ’70 with a flashy ’80 basis, was a band of very extraordinary. The video sound and live that they have left, I can see in ” Cozy Tapes “a demonstration of the initial further. Was realized this work because it is a collectible item, It is one of the gem exactly! Mania that has its outstanding sound source and the” INNOCENT CRIME “on the same day of the past, you should make absolutely get this work! Master piece that will shine brilliantly in the collectible history of heavy metal is the appearance in the full Limited Edition from foreign countries!

All the metal mania must-have machines, here in the release decision as a permanent preservation version! From John Sykes led BLUE MURDER impact 1989 Japan tour that played a first landing in Japan, the Tokyo-Japan Youth Hall performances of August 25 is, revives by full full remastered version and new excavation sound source! And stereo sound board master of officials outflow in this work, “Cozy Tapes” newly unearthed been treasured of demo than, even exhaustive superlative audience shot (the sound board sound source synchro!) Into one. In press CD2 Disc and press DVD set, please enjoy the invincible 1989 BLUE MURDER slowly and carefully!

　John Sykes leave the WHITESNAKE is, leader band BLUE MURDER own that launched the long-awaited, in addition to the base of Tony Franklin, originally Ray Gillan of Cozy Powell and former BLACK SABBATH is cooperation , it had been poured the hot line of sight from the heavy metal / hard rock fans. The end of the twists and turns, Ray because it was detached in the middle also Cozy but did not make the participants, it lumps lineup and welcomed the Carmine Appice as successor of the drum. Eventually John recording is carried out in a manner that concurrently serve as guitar and vocals, BLUE MURDER became able to sail as a band of three-piece organization. This three-piece organization in the stage, becomes a form of exerting a high level of musicianship as a band in full, more than the album “BLUE MURDER is live is amazing,” it became the foundation that evaluates to a fan.
　Speaking of presence that represents the BLUE MURDER live, Tokyo of After all, August 25, 1989. Japan Youth Hall performances. It was fully recorded in the official class of ultra-high-quality stereo sound board recording “INNOCENT CRIME” also high call of “Treasures of the Collector’s items stamp” from mania. In addition the same day of superlative audience shot in the video title that the sound board sound source was synchro “TOKYO 1989” is, “Why is this bonus treat of whether?” Was surprised with the fan, was a gem of a unique collector’s item.
　But “INNOCENT CRIME” is more than seven years have elapsed since the first release, the video version of “TOKYO 1989” were added and limited re-release also of a few years ago of the bonus. Now that itself is difficult to get them, you have new from the fan who started the collection of BLUE MURDER items are submitted without having ceased voice called “absolutely want”.
　So this time, the press of both the sound source and the video at the best quality past! Sound conducted a re-master to wipe out the noise that was seen in the original material, to close up the performance even while to have a calmness to sound realistic. The video also further refine the resolution and clearness, it is more enhance the synchro accuracy of the sound source. And the sound source version of the bonus, adopted the demo that has been newly excavated than tape of Cozy Powell holdings. All of the points (significantly!) Upgraded, it is the release of as literally permanent preservation version!

　Disk 1 and 2 have been used in “INNOCENT CRIME”, the stereo sound board sound source of officials outflow, recorded by remastered with the latest professional use equipment. Meet to hear from the “Riot” and “Vally Of The Kings” of the opening, musical tone that has been mixed with shining such clearness and clear separation is, the force of official live recordings just like. Hot air full of live is, it will knock out any and listeners!
　Play is the great more than sound quality surface! Play the Sykes led Tony and Carmine unfolds in three-party three-like, while having a “band seems to unity”, to each member “I have the leading role” you showing off the Battle of just not said. In “Out Of Love”, and guitar to sob of Gary Moore Beams shoot is Sykes, if think that either showed the Athletic and was a great sense of unity rhythm section was, and thrilling in the installation of subsequent band backed by each technique and to hear the performance, sharp scene is also impressive. Guitar Sykes Komu play hot in tone with a thick tension, and beating out the rhythm from exciting to drum in a unique style Carmine, craftsman manner and if you whether chopped the base note played even funky line Tony, play of the three people There was blend together “Billy” and “Ptolemy”, “Jelly Roll” none is the best.
　Live configuration “BLUE MURDER” even while the main the songs, even fun seems “members is equal band” of listen to hold music and favorite numbers are in each person of solo time. Carmine solo in the familiar pattern to be sung to the audience, “Hot Legs” of followed by ROD STEWART has been played. The “Rain Song” of LED ZEPPELIN is insert in the Tony solo, in the encore will be played until the “Closer” of THE FIRM. These were played nicely in the whole band, it is “BLUE MURDER version” you do not stay in the mere cover. Large classic “Still Of The Night” is a big listening stations. Misuton at the beginning also Nan’nosono, exciting a speedy performance may differ charm with WHITESNAKE the same period (at this point I feel even impression that “brought’s songs Sykes” an equal and cover songs of the above).
　Following the “Purple Haze” of JIMI HENDRIX, last is more than 13 minutes a large enthusiastic performance of “Blue Murder”! Such as items that enjoy the good and the performance of splendor is superbly 115 minutes of live meshing of music in the sound quality up to here, I do not come up with another in a little!

　Further, in the disk 2 since the second half of this work, it has been recorded over the 1st album at the time of manufacture Demoteiku a total of six songs, about 35 minutes. Initial BLUE studio demo of MURDER is I’ve enjoyed in the high-quality material in “INNOCENT CRIME”, this time more than even the past any homogeneous material! From what tape master of Cozy holdings, it enjoys in the state to be able to affirm the best past.
　”Ptolemy” In the very early version of and “Riot”, Cozy seems linear touch drumming is spectacular. The unreleased song “Rockin ‘And Rollin’ Our Lives Away,” “Lady Luck” is a must listen (all these songs Sykes charge of the vocals). Every song is also arrangement is developing, its “growth white” room is fun demo unique. If fan single daylight second and also will not release the ear!

　Although studio demo take of BLUE MURDER that Cozy participated had been around than in the past, that same sound source appeared again in 2014 with great sound quality far, even for enthusiasts around the world, just as the “incident” it is possible to affirm, is located in a very important event. Enjoy playing the first time in the enhancement of Sykes & Powell and Franklin became a phantom in fresh Demoteiku! (The Inner-jacket, cassette tape (60 minutes tape with photos made ​​of TEAC (of the label handwriting Ptolemy, read the letter to say that Riot!)

even that Ray Gillan tighten the disk last is a vocal to serve “It’s Too Late” (It was previously said to be “OUT OF MY TREE” At the time of the demonstration, actually the band early recordings), why is whether mysterious quality has not been officially announced. Ray of singing also overwhelming, regrettable !! will not even get this work for this one song

　the definitive edition of the same day the video in the disc 3, here even after a careful re-master, to achieve the eagerly-awaited press DVD are you doing. even when this video that is floating around in the part in the past, is “at the time of audience shots as very stable and easy to see the video,” as had been evaluated. This work synchro line sound source to this video was allowed to, you have to complete in a more even complement form the appeal of excellent image. clearness of the screen more than the past it has been bonus release material is improved, more vivid and natural color development derived from the master. of the video quality difference You clearly exceeded the existing airport. “Riot” in what was not Kira Sadamari camera of posture and position of the opening, it will be watched a little unstable scene. But the screen configuration is determined “Vally Of The Kings” and ” Out Of Love “and later, video and image quality, which said that the top level as before the audience shooting more than 20 years. sound board sound source that has been superimposed on the video has more favors the action of the band, and all even after you’ve Kikikon the sound source version I do not feel tired.
　Again the amount of information and entertainment cause video has entanglement of Sykes and Franklin to swagger in the vertical and horizontal directions and crowdedly digit is different. stage, such as the exciting play to attract fans in Carmine drum, sound only live the truth that can not be known at that, will be waged in the convincing of the video unique. Carmine drum solo and the go involving the audience in a familiar pattern, it was greatly excite the hall “Still Of The Night” Sykes performance in such , the effect of the video and sound board sound source was synchro preeminent. fan from the beginning of the end to the “Blue Murder”, it should become staring at the fresh feeling!
　that their play was great in live everyone knows also, just “Seeing is believing” thing. They show what kind of movement in live, what had been how fueled fan ……. Scene that could be understood to be doing listening several times in the sound source is, intuitively if this video, you can immediately understand.

　At a time when the boom of heavy metal had while celebrating the change, BLUE MURDER, which combines the 80s manner flashy and ’70s specific performance was the band of just extraordinary. In the video and they sound live who left, even the initial demo I can be confirmed in the “Cozy Tapes”. This work was realized because Collector’s item, it is truly a gem of a single! Mania that have past the same day instruments and already issued the “INNOCENT CRIME” also, this work should not be not get absolutely! Master piece that will shine brilliantly in the Collector’s item history of heavy metal is the appeared in full Limited Edition from overseas!
