To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of Balzac's second single 'ATOM AGE VAMPIRE IN 308' from MCR COMPANY in 1995, the vinyl has been completely re-released with the latest digital remastering! It will also be released in two formats, with the first 8cm CD single (paper strip package)! To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of Balzac's second single 'ATOM AGE VAMPIRE IN 308' from MCR COMPANY in 1995, the vinyl has been completely re-released with the latest digital remastering! It will also be released in two formats, with the first 8cm CD single (paper strip package)!The second single 'ATOM AGE VAMPIRE IN 308' features four of Balzac's most important songs, which are still actively played as part of their live repertoire 30 years after their release. The album includes songs that are indispensable to the discussion of Balzac, such as the early arrangement of 'ATOM-AGE VAMPIRE IN 308,' which can be said to be the original song of the timeless masterpiece 'PSYCHO IN 308,' and 'DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE,' which was later covered by THE MISFITS. The reissue of the 1994 work 'ONE NIGHT IN HELL,' which was sold out by preorder only, was still fresh in our memory at the end of last year, and the original master tape discovered in the warehouse of the Balzac office was digitally remastered with the latest technology. At the same time, the original master tape of this second single 'ATOM AGE VAMPIRE IN 308' was found. The latest digital remastering using the original master tape, which has much better sound quality than the master tape used in the past two CD reissues, has realized the reissue with the highest sound quality ever. As with the original release in 1995, this time it is completely reissued on an analog 7-inch single. This first limited edition pressing reproduces the quarto jacket in it's final form at the time (some photos and credits in the design have been changed). Unlike the two previous reissues in regular CD (12cm CD), the CD is released as an 8cm CD single (strip package) for the first time for this title! It has a vertical design based on the original analog disc design, arranged for the strip package, and is also released as a first limited edition pressing.
