Rare BLUE MURDER rehearsal recordings make their debut! Recorded live by the sound engineer at the time during a rehearsal held at a Tokyo studio on August 19, 1989, the day before their first Japan tour performance that year. The sound quality is high-fidelity, akin to a soundboard recording, spanning approximately 90 minutes. Rather than a formal rehearsal, the content focuses mainly on a warm-up jam session. The extended improvisational exchanges, relaxed in the best sense, reaffirm the band's prowess in a way impossible to hear during regular live performances. Furthermore, it includes an intriguing short rendition of BON JOVI's “LIVIN' ON A PRAYER.” This previously unknown, invaluable recording makes its unexpected appearance right here!
