The “KISS MY ASS Tour” marked the 20th anniversary of their formation and ended their no-makeup era. A super-superb soundboard album that can be said to be a sister work of “BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER (Zodiac 589)”, which is said to be the best masterpiece, is born! A press 2CD that permanently preserves the newly excavated master that renews the longest and highest peak in history will be urgently released.
“Performance in Buenos Aires on September 5, 1994” is engraved on this work. It is the stereo sound board recording. Speaking of “South America in 1994”, it is a big classic at the end of the no-makeup era. In addition to the above-mentioned “BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER”, there are also video editions such as “MONSTERS OF ROCK BUENOS AIRES 1994 (Shades 1694)” and officialized Sao Paulo performances. Let’s leave the overall picture of the activity to the explanation of other works, first narrow down to the “South America” leg and check the position of the show.

● “South America” leg details
· August 27: Sao Paulo performance ← *Official KISSOLOGY
・ September 1: Santiago performance
・September 3 “BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER” & professional shot
・September 5th: Performance in Buenos Aires ← This work
・ September 8: Performance in Mexico City
・September 14: Performance in Buenos Aires
・September 15: Performance in Buenos Aires
・September 16: Performance in Buenos Aires

All 8 performances above. Five of them were also performances in Buenos Aires. The first day (September 3) is famous for the sound board name board “BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER” and professional shots. On the other hand, this work was a concert corresponding to “second day (September 5th)”.
This “2nd day (September 5th)” is also famous for its radio broadcasts, and its FM soundboard has reigned as a great standard that has produced many previous releases. While this work is the same sound board, it is a new excavation master that updates its longest and highest peak. As you know if you have noticed this article, our shop introduces the masters of the original route one after another, but this work is the latest bullet.
“First, the sound.” As a type, it is clearly a direct connection to the mix desk, and the rough performance sound is poured into the ear with the bareness, and the stereo feeling that pans in a fierce width is also vivid. However, although such individuality was already familiar, the natural feeling is different. Even if you say “conventional master” in one word, there are various generations on the market, but even young generations were thin due to intense noise reduction and the details were distorted. On the other hand, this work of the new excavation master is the highest peak sound that is natural up to the ringing on top of the young generation.
More important than such a sound is the record-breaking length. The opening part and the interval between songs have been greatly increased, and the MC before “Unholy” has been recorded for a long time. Even more vivid is the final stage, and the performance part is also increased. You can listen to the four songs “Lick It Up”, “I Love It Loud”, “Black Diamond” and “Rock and Roll All Nite” that lacked the intro in the conventional master before the start.
What kind of full show can you enjoy with the longest and highest peak master? Actually, it is slightly different from the previous day’s “BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER”, so let’s organize it while comparing.

70’s Classics (16 songs)
・Emissary from Hell: Deuce/Cold Gin (★)/Firehouse (★)/Black Diamond (★)
・Jigoku no Sakebi: Parasite (★)/Watchin’ You/Got To Choose (★★)

* Note: “★” marks are songs that could not be heard in the official “ALIVE III”. In particular, the “★★” marks are songs that were not even on the sound board “BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER” the day before.

… and it looks like this. Basically, all the songs that were played at “BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER” the day before are shown, and the songs that cannot be heard in the official “ALIVE III” are also the same. It includes the resurrection song “Got To Choose” from “HOTTER THAN HELL”.
South America’s finest soundboard, which has represented the end of the no-makeup era, is the longest and highest peak update board. This time also, there is no doubt that it will shock collectors all over the world. Please fully enjoy the press 2CD that permanently confines its brilliance.

★Stereo sound board recording of “September 5, 1994 Buenos Aires Performance”. At the next show of the big hit “BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER”, this work is also the longest and highest peak master outflow of the same stakeholders. The conventional version lacked the beginning of “Lick It Up”, “I Love It Loud”, “Black Diamond”, “Rock and Roll All Nite” and the MC of “Unholy”, and the sound was intensely noise-reduced, This work has no such flaws. “Got To Choose”, which cannot be heard on “BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER” the day before, is also a pleasure board that pours a delicious full show directly into the brain.

 結成20周年にして、ノーメイク時代を締めくくった“KISS MY ASS Tour”。最高傑作と謳われた『BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER(Zodiac 589)』の姉妹作とも言うべき超極上サウンドボード・アルバムが誕生! 史上最長・最高峰を更新する新発掘マスターを永久保存したプレス2CDで緊急リリース決定です。
 そんな本作に刻まれているのは「1994年9月5日ブエノスアイレス公演」。そのステレオ・サウンドボード録音です。「1994年の南米」と言えば、ノーメイク時代末期の大定番。前述『BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER』の他にも『MONSTERS OF ROCK BUENOS AIRES 1994(Shades 1694)』や公式化されたサンパウロ公演などの映像篇もひしめいています。活動の全体像は他作品の解説に譲り、まずは「南米」レッグに絞り込んでショウのポジションを確かめてみましょう。
 
●「南米」レッグの詳細
・8月27日:サンパウロ公演 ←※公式KISSOLOGY
・9月1日:サンチアゴ公演
・9月3日『BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER』&プロショット
・9月5日:ブエノスアイレス公演 ←★本作★
・9月8日:メキシコシティ公演
・9月14日:ブエノスアイレス公演
・9月15日:ブエノスアイレス公演
・9月16日:ブエノスアイレス公演
 
 以上の全8公演。そのうち5回がブエノスアイレス公演でもありました。サウンドボード名盤『BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER』やプロショットで有名なのは、その初日(9月3日)。それに対して本作は「2日目(9月5日)」にあたるコンサートでした。
 この「2日目(9月5日)」もラジオ放送が有名で、そのFMサウンドボードが数々の既発を生む大定番として君臨してきました。本作も同じサウンドボードでありつつ、その最長・最高峰を更新する新発掘マスターなのです。本稿に目を留められた方ならご存知の通り、当店では独自ルートの関係者マスターを次々とご紹介しておりますが、本作はその最新弾なのです。
 まず、サウンド。タイプとしては明らかにミックス卓直結系でして、ラフな演奏音が丸出しで耳に流し込まれ、猛烈な幅でパンするステレオ感も鮮烈です。もっとも、そんな個性は既発でもお馴染みだったわけですが、ナチュラル感は段違い。ひと口に「従来マスター」と言っても様々なジェネが出回っているものの、若ジェネでも激しくノイズ・リダクションがかけられて痩せていたり、細部が歪んでしまったものばかりでした。それに対し、新発掘マスターの本作は若ジェネな上に鳴りまでナチュラルな最高峰サウンドなのです。
 そんなサウンド以上に重大なのが過去最長を更新する長さ。開演パートや曲間が大幅に増量されており、「Unholy」前のMCも長く収録されている。さらに鮮烈なのが終盤でして、演奏パートも増量。従来マスターではイントロが欠けていた4曲「Lick It Up」「I Love It Loud」「Black Diamond」「Rock and Roll All Nite」も開始前からしっかり聴けるのです。
 その最長・最高峰マスターで楽しめるフルショウとはどんなものか。実は前日の『BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER』とも微妙に異なっていますので、比較しながら整理してみましょう。
 
●70年代クラシックス(16曲)
・地獄からの使者:Deuce/Cold Gin(★)/Firehouse(★)/Black Diamond(★)
・地獄のさけび:Parasite(★)/Watchin’ You/Got To Choose(★★)
・地獄の軍団:I Was Made For Lovin’ You/God Of Thunder(★)/Detroit Rock City
・地獄のロックファイアー:I Want You(★)/Calling Dr. Love(★)/Makin’ Love(★)

※注:「★」印は公式『ALIVE III』で聴けなかった曲。特に「★★」印は前日サウンドボード『BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER』にもなかった曲。
 
……と、このようになっています。基本的には前日『BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER』で演奏していた曲はすべて披露しており、公式『ALIVE III』で聴けない曲も同一。そこに『HOTTER THAN HELL』からの復活曲「Got To Choose」まで盛り込まれているのです。
 ノーメイク時代末期を代表してきた南米の極上サウンドボード、その最長・最高峰更新盤です。今回もまた世界中のコレクターを震撼させること間違いナシの関係者流出マスター。その輝きを永久に封じ込めるプレス2CDで存分にお楽しみください。
 
★「1994年9月5日ブエノスアイレス公演」のステレオ・サウンドボード録音。大ヒットした『BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER』の次のショウで、本作も同じ関係者流出の最長・最高峰更マスター。従来盤は「Lick It Up」「I Love It Loud」「Black Diamond」「Rock and Roll All Nite」の冒頭や「Unholy」のMCが欠け、サウンドも激しいノイズ・リダクションがかけられていましたが、本作にはそうした欠点が一切ない。前日『BUENOS AIRES 1994 DAT MASTER』で聴けない「Got To Choose」も美味しいフルショウを脳みそに直接流し込んでくれる快感盤です。
