The Paradise Theater, Boston, MA, USA 10th June 1978 STEREO SBD

　CHEAP TRICK in 1978, which released a series of historic masterpieces and reached its peak in one fell swoop. The master reel of the iconic sound board has been unexpectedly unearthed! It has been decided to release it on a press CD that will forever retain its brilliance!

　What is engraved in this work is the “June 10, 1978 Boston performance”. It is a stereo soundboard recording. Speaking of 1978, the legendary first visit to Japan was realized, and “HEAVEN TONIGHT” and “AT BUDOKAN” were also released in succession. First of all, let’s take a bird’s-eye view of the progress and check the position of this work.

　This is CHEAP TRICK in 1978. There are no live enthusiasts like them in the rock world, but they were especially crazy in the 1970s. In 1978, as usual, “HEAVEN TONIGHT” was released shortly after their first visit to Japan, and the large-scale tour “North America #2” started without any delay. The Boston performance of this work was the 13th performance, about six weeks after “AT BUDOKAN”.

　> This show was broadcast on the American radio station “WBCN” and has produced many previously released groups. This work is the highest peak update of such a classic sound board. It is a new master announced by the prestigious excavation company “Krw_co”, and it was digitized directly from the 10.5-inch reel of the broadcasting station “WBCN”.

　The sound is an upgrade of a completely different class. The previous master was quite piercing to the ears, but this work is vivid and natural. Of course, the edges have not been rounded, but the density of the core has increased while the fine details remain the same, and the sound has become more lustrous.

　Moreover, this work has been mastered to bring out even greater heights. The original sound from the Internet still retained its original sharpness, but this work has been beautifully treated. Based on “AT BUDOKAN,” the sound output at the time has been reproduced as much as possible, and the fast pitch has been adjusted just right. While it is even more vivid than “AT BUDOKAN,” it also achieves the beauty and ease of listening that is approaching that of the legendary live album.

　The stage depicted by such a top-notch sound is similar to “AT BUDOKAN”. Let’s organize the set while comparing them here.

●Treasure Trap (6 songs)
・Stiff Competition (★★)/On Top Of The World (★★)/High Roller (★)/Surrender/California Man (★)/Auf Wiedersehen (★)
●Others (8 songs)
・Pale Highway: Oh Caroline (★)/Hello There/Come On, Come On/Big Eyes/Clock Strikes Ten/Southern Girls (★)
・Others: Need Your Love/Goodnight Now
*Note: Songs marked with “★” are songs that were not heard on the official “AT BUDOKAN”. In particular, songs marked with “★★” were not included in “AT BUDOKAN: THE COMPLETE CONCERT”.

…And so it is. Six songs were selected from “IN COLOR” and “HEAVEN TONIGHT”, and “Need Your Love” and “Goodnight Now” were added to it. A large number of songs were added from the just-released “HEAVEN TONIGHT”, and you can enjoy plenty of songs that you can’t hear even on the official “AT BUDOKAN”.

　This is a soundboard album that has been significantly upgraded and elevated from a long-standing standard to the realm of “AT BUDOKAN Sequel”. Boasting the same band potential as the legendary live album in rock history, it also has a fresher sound and a delicious repertoire from “HEAVEN TONIGHT”. This is an absolute must-have. Enjoy the reel sound anytime, anywhere with this press CD that will be passed down to future generations.

★Stereo soundboard recording of the “June 10, 1978 Boston performance”. This is the highest peak update board, digitized directly from the 10.5-inch reel of radio station WBCN. The harsh sound has been significantly upgraded, and you can enjoy the delicious “HEAVEN TONIGHT” number that was not heard on “AT BUDOKAN” at the concert about six weeks later. This is truly a “sequel to AT BUDOKAN”.
