¡Amateur Academy - 40th Anniversary Edition[CD+DVD] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]
¡Moonriders

 Description
[Machine Translation] Amateur Academy", the ninth album released by the Moonriders in 1984, has been revived as a 40th anniversary edition. The CD includes 4 bonus tracks and a DVD with additional footage of the legendary Shibukou concert held in the same year as the album's release. The Moonriders, a treasure of the Japanese rock/pop music world who will celebrate the 50th anniversary of their debut in 2026, will reissue their classic album from the raging 80s (jacket photo by Kaoru Ishima) in a gorgeous expanded edition 40 years after its release. This is the only album in the history of the Riders to feature Shigeki Miyata, A&R of the record company at the time (RVC / Dear Heart), as an outside producer. It is said to be the most problematic album in the band's history, with many anecdotes about its production, such as the symbolic titles of all the songs (unified by English abbreviations and numbers), 500 hours of studio time, one week to make the sound of Vedra, and the use of three studios at the same time. The album also contains many popular songs that are still played live, such as "30 (30 Age)" and "G.o.a.P. (Let's Hurry Up and Go on a Picnic)," and there are many requests for the reissue of this album. This 40th anniversary edition includes 4 bonus tracks on DISC1 (CD), selected from the singles and other takes that were not included on the previous reissues. DISC2 (DVD) contains 4 videos of the legendary live performance at Shibuya Kokaido on July 14, 1984 for the release of the album. The album has been reissued four times in the past, but this 40th anniversary edition features, for the first time in 40 years, a color jacket (the LP was in black and white, while the CD and cassette had color jackets) in the booklet, which was originally released when CDs were still in their infancy. This item is a perfect way to celebrate the milestone of this masterpiece, which still has a unique presence and attracts the attention of enthusiasts! Comes in a 2-CD paper sleeve case.
