The only FM sound source upgrade board known in the era of the second album “MEAN BUSINESS”.
Included in this work is “May 11, 1986 Richfield Performance”. In the first place, the sound source of the “MEAN BUSINESS” tour is hardly known, and this live, which was the only FM broadcast among them, has been “ROYAL DARKNESS” “85/86” “LIVE USA 1986” “TEAR IT DOWN” for some time. And so on, we have produced a number of live boards. It’s such a big standard sound source, but this time I’m using the master that appeared on the net in recent years, and the quality is different from before. From the fact that it has already been published, it is said that “sound quality is as good as the official one” in specialized magazines, but perhaps the generation is different from that of the previous one, the sound quality is much higher. For the first time in the upgrade, “I’m very surprised !!” is being fired on the internet.
The 1986 tour that you can listen to with such high quality sound is really wonderful. It’s super valuable from the opening of “Fortune Hunter”, which runs violently. Originally developed from XYZ where Jimmy Page had a session with Chris Squire and Alan White, it was completed by Paul Rodgers and is shown in front of the audience … Just thinking about the thoughts and blood of the heroes that were put into it seems to make me tremble. Besides, the sound board recordings of “All the King’s Horses” and “Tear Down the Walls” of “MEAN BUSINESS” that can not be heard on the first tour are coming out one after another, so its value is dazzling (“” “Cadillac” and “Live In Peace” were also played on the first tour).
Of course, the mix by the FM broadcaster is also professional and wonderful. Chris Slade’s powerful drums called “Bonham Bari” and Tony Franklin’s rhythm section, which freely manipulates the groove with a super-unique fretless bass, are also perfectly captured, and it is exactly the name of the official work. It’s finished.

セカンド・アルバム「MEAN BUSINESS」時代で唯一知られるFM音源のアップグレード盤。
本作に収められているのは、「1986年5月11日リッチフィールド公演」。そもそも「MEAN BUSINESS」ツアーの音源はほとんど知られておらず、そんな中で唯一FM放送もされたこのライヴは、かねてより「ROYAL DARKNESS」「85/86」「LIVE U.S.A. 1986」「TEAR IT DOWN」など、数々のライヴ盤を生んできました。それだけの大定番音源なのですが、今回は近年ネットに登場したマスターを使用しており、今までとはクオリティが違います。既発からして専門誌では「音質はオフィシャル並に良好」とされるほどですが、既発とはジェネレーションが違うのか、各段に高音質なのです。そのアップグレードぶりはネット上でも「I’m very surprised!!」が連発されているほどです。
そんなハイクオリティ・サウンドで聴ける1986年ツアーは、実に素晴らしい。激しく疾駆する「Fortune Hunter」オープニングからして超貴重。元々ジミー・ペイジがクリス・スクワイア、アラン・ホワイトと共にセッションしたXYZから発展した曲ですが、それがポール・ロジャースの手によって完成し、こうして観客の前で披露されている………この1曲に込められた英雄たちの想いと血を考えただけでも身震いしそうです。他にも、ファーストツアーでは聴けない「MEAN BUSINESS」の「All the King’s Horses」「Tear Down the Walls」のサウンドボード録音が次々と出てくるのですから、その貴重度は目も眩むほどです(「Cadillac」「Live In Peace」はファースト・ツアーでも演奏されていました)。
もちろん、FM放送局によるミックスもプロフェッショナルで素晴らしい。「ボーナムばり」と称されたクリス・スレイドのパワフルなドラム、超個性的なフレットレス・ベースでグルーヴを自在に操るトニー・フランクリンのリズム隊も見事に捉えきっており、まさに公式仕事の名にふさわしい仕上がりです。
