Japanese Album Becomes World-Wide Hit Originally issued only in Japan (as Live In Japan—see last note), this album was soon released world-wide and become one of their best sellers. A single featuring edited versions of both the studio and live versions peaked at #4. Over the years (a familiar phrase around here), the complete three concerts have been issued in various formats. |
