From Internet

From the second 1976 Japan Tour, out of all 9 performances, the 8th performance at the Miyagi Prefecture Sports Center on April 2nd, with the highest quality ever recorded by New Master recently distributed .
In addition, the complete part includes the beginning of "Brighton Rock" that had been cut and a part of "Now I'm Here". The quality and hiss noise were hardly noticeable as a cassette recording at that time, and the recording position was a good position where the surrounding cheers were recorded moderately, so the women's screams that are apt at this time are not much of a concern.

Anyway, since returning to Japan 8 months ago since my first visit to Japan last year, I was treated as an idol by the media at that time, and its popularity and enthusiasticity were at its peak. Therefore, despite the hard tour schedule, the members performed professionally while yellow cheers flew in the first Sendai performance.

And most of all, the tour after the release of the "A Night At The Opera" was the first time that "Bohemian Rhapsody" was shown in Japan, and the precious set list unique to this time is also a great attraction. Especially the R & R medley pattern from “Jailhouse Rock” and “Father To Son” have not been played at all since this tour, so fans should check it out. Rare live from Japan's hottest times at the best quality here.

In addition, a 1CDR with a complete recording of part track recordings of "Killer Queen" and "Bohemian Rhapsody", which were partially leaked in the past "Q series", etc. This is also a sound source distributed for the first time in recent years by stakeholders, and includes vocals, chorus, guitar, bass, drums, etc. for each part. In "Killer Queen", especially the solo section of Freddie's vocal-only part, acoustic piano and guitar overdub part is too vivid and impressive. And "Bohemian Rhapsody" is the best part of the vocal part including the chorus. Also check out Brian's guitar parts and solo parts for guitar enthusiasts. This is recorded on a perfect stereo / SBD!
