We used original cassette masters directly from original taper. This live in 3 days Osaka is most productive day, Rainbow mania say so. You can enjoy the live with different quality with different angle.

The second album STRAIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES since Joe Lynn Turner joined the band is that Joe and new member David Rosenthal who are young player concern the production strongly. So the album includs very American feeling. Richie almost have the success in American market since big Amrican tour which start in June 1982.
