EUROPE – The Final Countdown [Rock Candy remastered +6]
As requested many times, here’s this classic album in all its glory. Finally Rock Candy specialists did their own remastered version of EUROPE‘s classic “The Final Countdown”. It includes 6 bonus tracks: the live versions of title track, ‘Danger On The Track (Live)’ and ‘Carrie (Live)’, plus the single B-sides ‘Seven Doors Hotel (1986 Version)’ & ‘On Broken Wings’, and what makes this reissue unique is the addition of the rare Remix of ‘Rock The Night’ – also a B-side but previously unavailable on CD.
You don’t need a review of “The Final Countdown”, a world-wide smash hit album and a classic.
This Rock Candy remaster is powerful, more punchy than the previously available. In my opinion, tracks like ‘Cherokee’ or ‘On The Loose’ are benefited by this remaster, with a more ‘edgy’ guitar attack.
I doubt there’s a master tape of ‘Rock The Night (Remix)’, but the sound quality obtained for this reissue is darn good. A rarity and a cool one, a pretty different version.
To sum up, this must have hit album in a big sounding remaster.
Be aware there’s a fake version of this Rock Candy release floating around…
