Les Rallizes Dénudés - LIVE: 1984-12-12, Hosei University, Tokyo, Japan [STEREO SOURCES]

My newfound favorite Les Rallizes Dénudés show. On this day, the prince of darkness conjured his most volatile performance of The Last One deep within the shadows. This performance truly was a spectacle to behold. Now you can enjoy the full show in stereo with synced VHS footage!

The sound quality is absolutely horrendous due to several years of file-sharing compression. Apparently, this audio was taken from an unlisted CD-R which floated around Tokyo sometime in the early 2000s. There are two separate recordings present on the disc, both of which were originally recorded on cassette tapes. The first source was recorded in the audience at house left, the second source was recorded backstage at stage left. The source tapes originally belonged to two close friends of the band and the recordings were used on the 1992『裸のラリーズ』VHS in tandem with footage from the show. I have tried my best to balance the audio, but occasionally the audio compression will cause unpleasant treble frequencies to break through. There is also a minimal amount of clipping between tracks and near the end of The Last One. This was not done in post-production and is believed to be the result of possible disc rot or due to a bad rip.
