Hanoi Rocks: Oriental Beat 12" (40th Anniversary Re(al)mix)
Oriental Beat by Hanoi Rocks gets the redux treatment, officially mixed and revived from the original sessions, and released on March 17th on deluxe vinyl, CD and digital formats. The CD and vinyl come with the song lyrics, checked and approved by Michael Monroe.
Dubbed the âre(al) mixâ, this 40th anniversary edition was mixed by Petri Majuri at E-Studios in Finland in collaboration with the band. Vocalist Michael Monroe calls this release âthe longest and slowest album project ever,â stating that â40 years in the making, it's not just a remix, but the REAL MIX supervised and approved by Hanoi Rocksâ.
Recorded in London, UK in 1981, for 200 pounds a day, Oriental Beat was made during the height of the British punk + New Wave movement, when the band was hanging out with everyone from Phil Lynott to the Damned. Hanoi Rocksâ original drummer Gyp Casino says of Oriental Beat that: âBack in the days we gave heart, soul and a bit of pain to make this record something elseâ but the sound of the album, originally released in 1982, did not match their efforts at the time. Bassist Sami Yaffa called it âthe worst sounding album of our careerâ and Michael Monroe said that âthe producer of the album didnât have a clue what the band was about and his mix of the album was horribly wrongâ.
Oriental Beatâs original engineer Peter Wooliscroft, was not a rock producer, and according to Hanoi Rocksâ manager Richard Bishop he âtried to mix the album to sound like Spandau Balletâ. Released before the band could remix or rerecord it, as the label had run out of money, and the master tapes had gone missing, the band has always considered the original mix of Oriental Beat to be a âdisasterâ. With the tapes mysteriously showing up in the Universal vault recently, the band was finally able to mix and resequence the album the way they wanted it to sound.
Oriental Beat is a defining masterpiece made when Hanoi Rocks was about to explode onto the world scene and written at the absolute peak of lead guitarist Andy McCoyâs creativity as a songwriter. Rhythm guitarist Nasty Suicide says âonly now, with stripping it down to the bare essentials and tweaking it to bring out what was really laid down it became our dream come true! THIS is what it's all aboutâ as this definitive edition of Oriental Beat now fully displays the ultimate arrogance and attitude which defined the band. Monroe says: ânow, 40 years after its original release in 1982, we finally got the album sounding as great as it deserves, with no overdubs or samples,â and McCoy adds that: âIt's better now than ever. This is what it was meant to sound like. So enjoy it...Another shot of Hanoi Rocksâ.
