Charlotte Coliseum, Charlotte, NC, USA 28th December 1985 STEREO SBD

★UPGRADE

　The upgrade master has newly excavated the classic sound board that symbolizes the unexplored “ASYLUM Tour” with few sound sources! It has been decided to release it on a press CD that will permanently preserve the highest peak update sound that is “more official than the official”!

　This work is engraved with the “Charlotte performance on December 28, 1985”. It is a stereo soundboard recording. Speaking of the “ASYLUM Tour”, the San Antonio performance of the official “Off The Soundboard” series has become a hot topic, and our press masterpiece “ERIE 1986 SOUNDBOARD (Zodiac 553)” is also popular. First of all, let’s take a bird’s-eye view of the activities at that time and check the positional relationship of each.

●1985
, January 3rd – March 29th: North America #1 (61 shows) ←※SAN BERNARDINO 1985 and others
《ASYLUM released on September 16th》
・November 29th – December 31st: North America #2a (23 shows) ←★HERE★
●1986
, January 3rd – April 12th: North America #2b (68 shows) ←※ERIE 1986

[The iconic soundboard of the ASYLUM Tour has been upgraded]
　This is KISS in 1985/1986. The “SAN BERNARDINO 1985 SOUNDBOARD (Zodiac 741)” released at the same time this week was the “ANIMALIZE Tour”, but the Charlotte performance of this work was after the release of “ASYLUM”. It was the 20th concert of “North America #2”. It was also 25 days (16 performances) after the much-talked-about official work “SAN ANTONIO, TX 12/3/1985”.

　The Charlotte performance has long been known for its masterpiece sound board, and has been loved as a gift title in our shop. This work is the highest peak update of such a classic sound board. It is a new master brought from our own related route, and there are no rough dubbing marks or tape running twists like in the past. It is a super beautiful sound that is stable and neatly arranged down to the fine details.

[Official gorgeous sound more official than the official work]
　The splendor is “completely official class” … that’s it. In fact, it even surpasses the official work “SAN ANTONIO, TX 12/3/1985” that is currently a hot topic. The point is the mix full of dynamism. As many people have already experienced, the latest official work is a lively direct connection, but the balance is a bit rough as a music work. Not only was the cheering far away, but the excitement of the performance itself was difficult to convey, and the show seemed to proceed steadily. In contrast, the mix of this work is glittering and dynamic. The huge scale and dramaticism of each song are clearly visible, and the degree of completion as a music work is extremely high.

　In other words, the official work “SAN ANTONIO, TX 12/3/1985” is bootleg-like, and this work feels like an official regular work, and the official/unofficial taste is completely reversed from usual. This is what I meant by “more official than official” at the beginning.

　The full show of the precious “ASYLUM Tour” is drawn with such quality beyond the official. The set is different from the other apex sound board “ERIE 1986 SOUNDBOARD”, so let’s organize it by comparison.

●80s (9 songs)
・CREATURES OF THE NIGHT: I Still Love You/I Love It Loud/War Machine
・LICK IT UP: Fits Like A Glove/Lick It Up (＊)
・ANIMALIZE: Under the Gun (★)/Heaven’s On Fire
・ASYLUM: Uh! All Night/Tears Are Falling
●70s Classics (4 songs)
・Detroit Rock City/Cold Gin/Love Gun/Rock And Roll All Nite
*Note: “★” marks songs that were not heard on “ERIE 1986 SOUNDBOARD”. “＊” marks are supplemented by audience recordings.

… and it looks like this. This sound board is missing the last “Lick It Up”, and it is usually complemented. In the conventional version, a sound board from another live performance was usually added, but in this work, it is complemented by the best audience of the same day.

　The official work “SAN ANTONIO, TX 12/3/1985” was also groundbreaking, but this work is an even more official and dynamic live album. A new master that has updated the highest peak of traditional sound boards. Please enjoy the press CD that will never lose its brilliance.

★Stereo soundboard recording of the “Charlotte performance on December 28, 1985”. This new master was unearthed through our own related route, and it has no rough dubbing marks or tape twisting like the conventional ones, and is a top-notch updated sound that is stable and beautifully arranged down to the finest details. The mix is more dynamic than the official work “SAN ANTONIO, TX 12/3/1985”, and it is the birth of a new masterpiece that is “more official than the official one”.
