Product Description
60 years after the legendary two-day Budokan concert, now available in upgraded sound quality! Includes both Mono and Stereo versions of the June 30th and July 1st concerts. Includes a bonus CD with the complete audio of the press conference held the day before the concert (June 29th at the Tokyo Hilton Hotel). Includes a luxurious commentary guidebook (24 pages planned) and a ticket replica. The miraculous Beatles visit to Japan 60 years ago, and their historic Budokan concerts. This is a permanent preservation edition that completely records both concerts from June 30th and July 1st! After being introduced by MC EH Eric, the four members appeared on a special stage and immediately launched into a thrilling performance of "Rock and Roll Music." They also performed their latest song "Paperback Writer" and a rare electric version of the classic "Yesterday." The mono and stereo sound sources, remastered from vintage masters, are sure to impress even fans who are familiar with this concert. The deluxe edition includes CDs of both concerts, a CD containing recordings of the press conference, a replica ticket, and a 24-page guidebook. The press conference held at the Hilton Tokyo Hotel on June 29th is particularly valuable, as it features the four Beatles answering questions. The bizarre exchange, such as "What did you expect when you came to Japan?", is reminiscent of the arrival of the Black Ships and really captures the era. The Beatles also sincerely address the issue of using the Budokan, which even sparked protests, but when asked "Now that you have achieved fame and fortune, what do you want?", John replies "Peace!", eliciting laughter. The regular edition (jewel case) will be released in two versions: a "June 30th" version and a "July 1st" version.
