The band who toured the UK with “TROUBLE” from October 26th to November 23rd, 1978, toured in Europe such as Germany, France and Spain from February to June in 1979. I will do it. In the middle of that, in May, they started to make their second studio album “LOVE HUNTER”. This work is a masterpiece that is especially evaluated as WHITESNAKE among the early WHITESNAKE works (including not only musicality but also sound artwork). In addition to famous songs such as the title track and “Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues”, you can enjoy wonderful songs such as “Long Way From Home”, “Medicine Man” and “Mean Business” that make people scream. If you are a fan, you know it earlier.
This work is a ridiculous thing that the recording master of the same work was directly digitized with the latest equipment for professional use from the two volumes of reel tape that was secretly brought from a certain person concerned! Before the official announcement of the work, it was a version of the master recorded in the studio directly on the reel (the photo of the reel box is posted inside. The song title is handwritten on each box). Its freshness and excellent condition are terrifying!
“Reel master version” that suddenly appeared after more than 30 years. It’s like aged wine. An ensemble with a natural expanse of sound, abundant bass, and a mild, natural depth. From “Long Way From Home”, which pops out when you play an optical disc, the dimension of “richness” is completely different from the sound you can hear on the current CD. Until now, the official editions have been released as “latest remasters” by changing hands and products, but as they continued to change their appearance, the sound became thin and forcibly equalized. rice field.
However, how about the juicy sound that overflows in this work? This tone is completely non-equalized! The powerful rhythm of “Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues”, the glossy vocals of “Help Me Thro’The Day” and “Medicine Man”, and the lively “Mean Business” “It’s hard to compare with the official version!” The glossy “Lovehunter” and “Rock’N’Roll Women” have a mellow texture that is reminiscent of that jacket! “Outlaw”, in which Bernie plays vocals, was often seen as a foreign song, but this sound source sounds like it is opening up a new charm for the band. What do you think about the last “We Wish You Well”? The tasteful sound with a natural and wide texture makes you experience the charm of WHITESNAKE only at that time with a more realistic and attractive tone. This is the only master sound in the world. At the end of listening to this, you may even feel anxious, “Isn’t it possible to return to the official?” You can experience a moment in your life that will change even the image of “LOVE HUNTER” that the listener has brought so far.
After this, the band changed the drummer from Dave Dowl to Ian Paice, and went to Japan for the first time in 1980, and proceeded toward the early peak to produce the band’s masterpiece “READY AN’WILLING”.
This sound source is a treasure that is sure to be a hard rock fan’s tears left in it! Fans who know the history of the band and enthusiasts who have listened to various official versions of “LOVE HUNTER” will be shocked by this work! It’s still unbelievable that this is a bonus, it’s a super-class book!
