Product Description
Contents: [Gatefold Paper Jacket Specification] [2SHM-CDs] ?EIncludes new Japanese liner notes for 2025. A crucial lineup in King Crimson history, this Japan tour, which defined the double-trio live style, is now remastered in a new SHM-CD format with a paper jacket and 2025 Japan remaster specifications! The final 11th installment is the Sendai performance. A reassuring night with some of the best separation and stable sound quality in the series. The October 1995 Japan tour marked a crucial point in the short two-year-long live career of King Crimson, who debuted with the unconventional six-member lineup following the album "Slack." The now out-of-print interactive video work "Deja Vroom" was also produced from performances during this tour. The 1995 Japan tour, which consisted of 11 shows in total (6 in Tokyo and 5 in other regions), was released on regular CD in 2018. This time, however, it's divided into two series, the Tokyo and regional editions, and is an upgraded version featuring SHM-CD specifications and a gatefold paper jacket for the first time! This release includes five titles from the regional performances. While all performances feature stable sound quality from soundboard recordings, this release is a newly remastered 2024 edition that corrects the inconsistent sound quality of the previous series. Learning from the first half of the Omiya performance, where each member threw in their own ideas one after another, making it difficult to control, this day shows a stable performance that shows an effort to be faithful to the basics, with weight in heavy songs and lyricism in ballads, and the high-quality master recording brilliantly captures this. It's a valuable recording that also allows you to experience the thrill of seeing the band's strategies revealed one after another for the second half of the Slack Tour. New Japanese commentary for the 2024 edition. Purchasers of all 5 regional titles will receive a T-shirt (Type B) application form. Applicable product numbers: POCS-2002/3, POCS-2004/5, POCS-2006/7, POCS-2008/9, POCS-2010/1. *Included only in the first shipment. *Please refer to the announcement flyer inside the product for application details and deadline.
