''Cheap Trick at Budokan'' is a live album released by Cheap Trick in 1978 and their best-selling recording. It was ranked number 426 in ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of "the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time".〔("426: Cheap Trick, 'At Budokan'" ). ''Rolling Stone''. Published November 1, 2003. Retrieved May 28, 2013.〕 ==Overview== Cheap Trick found early success in Japan, and capitalized on this popularity by recording ''Cheap Trick at Budokan'' in Tokyo on April 28 and 30, 1978, with an audience of 12,000 screaming Japanese fans nearly drowning out the band at times. The album was intended for release only in Japan but with strong airplay of the promotional album ''From Tokyo to You'', an estimated 30,000 import copies were sold in the United States and the album was released domestically in February 1979.〔Kozak, Roman. "Now Cheap Trick Eyes Europe" ''Billboard'' August 25, 1979: 68〕 The album also introduced two previously unreleased original songs, "Lookout" and "Need Your Love". In the U.S., the album peaked at number four on the ''Billboard'' 200 and became the group's best selling album with over three million copies sold. It also ranked number 13 on Billboard's Top Pop Albums of 1979 year-end chart. The single "I Want You to Want Me" reached number seven on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. The second single, a cover of Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame" also charted, reaching number 35. ''Cheap Trick at Budokan'' was certified triple Platinum in 1986 by the RIAA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 RIAA Database Search for Cheap Trick )〕 In Canada, it went to number one, hitting the top of the ''RPM'' 100 Albums chart on August 11 of the same year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Top Albums/CDs - Volume 31, No. 20, August 11, 1979 )〕 By November 1979, it had achieved quintuple platinum status (500,000 units) in that country.〔(Music Canada, Gold Platinum Database: Cheap Trick )〕 An unusual aspect of the album release in the UK was the use of coloured vinyl, then primarily restricted to singles and EP's, and soon replaced as a marketing gimmick by so-called "picture discs". A prominently displayed sticker on the sleeve of "Live at Budokan" announced that it had been released on "kamikaze yellow vinyl", and, unlike most coloured discs, which were usually as opaque as the conventional black vinyl records, the disc in the album is translucent. When ''Cheap Trick at Budokan'' was first released on compact disc in the U.S., first pressing contained a slightly different, possibly unpolished mix of the concert. Notably the guitar trade offs of "Ain't That A Shame" were obviously different from the vinyl release. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cheap Trick at Budokan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
