Billed
as "Japan
recorded live" it actually contains a lot of studio material, including
three new instrumentals and a re-recorded "Nightporter". Masami
Tsuchiya plays guitar. In chart terms this was Japan's most successful
album; released at a time when interest in the group was at it's peak
in the wake of the split.
UK chart position:
5, Japan national chart - 11 - a real achievement, No1 on overseas
artists chart.
