Kizuna + alle Live-Alben als SHM-CD aus Japan 2024

[The Spick]

Kizuna - das ist japanisch für "Bindung"

So wird das im Januar 2024, passend zur Japan Tour von QAL im Februar, erscheinende Greatest-Hits-Live-Album von Queen heißen.

Analog zum "Greatest Hits Japan" Album anlässlich der letzten Tour in 2020, waren auch hier wieder die japanischen Queen.Fans dazu aufgerufen, über die Tracks auf dem Album abzustimmen. Jeder durfte seine 2 Lieblingssongs nennen (bis zum 25.11.23), die aus den 170 Songs der bisherigen 6 Live Alben auszuwählen waren.

Gleichzeitig wird es diese Live-Alben in einer neuen SHM-Auflage in Pappsleeve geben.

Für 14 Tage darauf ist die Veröffentlichung einer auf 2000 Exemplare limitierten 180g Vinyl Doppel-LP angekündigt.

Im Zuge der live CDs soll auch die deluxe Ausgabe von "The Miracle" als SHM-CD veröffentlicht werden. Diese dann allerdings im Jewel-Case.

Die Vinyl Edition ist aktuell in Japan vorbestellbar, der Veröffentlichungstermin ist nun für den 17.07.24 vorgesehen. Interessant ist, dass 1000 Exemplare im online store erhältlich sein sollen. Ich bin auf Nummer sicher gegangen und habe die LP in Japan bestellt.

The 2LP "KIZUNA", a special best live album selected by Japanese fans to commemorate their visit to Japan,
will be released in Japan on Wednesday, July 17th, limited to 2,000 copies!

The 2LP "KIZUNA", a special best live album selected by Japanese fans, was planned to commemorate Queen + Adam Lambert's Japan tour in February this year, and will be released on Wednesday, July 17th!! The CD of the same title was already released on January 31st, but this 2LP 180g heavyweight LP set, half-speed mastered by Miles Showell, a master mastering engineer at London's prestigious Abbey Road Studios, will be released in Japan in a limited run of 2,000 copies.
Four years ago, when Queen + Adam Lambert came to Japan, they released a special album, "Greatest Hits in Japan," which included the top 12 songs voted for by Japanese fans. The second special album to commemorate their visit to Japan, "KIZUNA," includes the top songs voted for by Japanese fans on Queen's live tracks on CD and LP. From Wednesday, November 15, 2023 to Thursday, November 30, 2023, Universal Music's special website will be collecting votes for your favorite Queen live tracks, and the final top 16 songs will be included. In principle, Queen fans living in Japan will be asked to choose two songs each from a total of 150 songs from the six live albums released by Queen. - Regarding different versions of the same song, the version with the most votes will be included. The final number of votes was 6,886.
Initially, the 2LP of "KIZUNA" was scheduled to be released simultaneously with the CD on January 31st to commemorate Queen + Adam Lambert's Japan tour in February this year, but Abbey Road Studios mastering engineer Miles Showell was suddenly put in charge of cutting the LP master, and the release was canceled at one point, but a new release date has finally been decided. Cutting by Miles Showell, a master of half-speed mastering, you can enjoy a different sonic experience from CD.

This 2LP will be released on 180g heavyweight vinyl, limited to 2,000 copies in Japan, pressed domestically.
A limited edition of 1,000 copies will also be released at the official Queen online store overseas.
