Budokan (UK bootleg LP)

Vinyl pressing of a Japanese radio program recorded 6/3/79 at the Budokan in Tokyo. The sound quality is good, if a little crackly at times. This is interesting as it includes the ballad intro to Suburban Berlin (a short song in itself), a very early version of European Son plus some curious interview material. Well presented in a professional looking, stylish sleeve. 

The release date of this boot is uncertain, but 1984 is likely as I remember new copies being available at record fairs at that time. 

In the 1990s this album was released on CD as "Big In Japan".

Catalogue number: Kamikaze Kid KK02.
