Today, GuitarWorld.com presents a rare Uli Jon Roth exclusive—a live performance video of “Virgin Killer” from the legendary guitarist's new four-format live music set, Tokyo Tapes Revisited: Live in Japan, which will be released December 16 via UDR Music.
Roth was a founding member of the Scorpions before leaving the band to pursue a solo career in 1978. As the creative heartbeat of the band, Roth achieved fame for his unique fretwork and song-writing skills, and he was—and is—a huge influence on scores of modern guitarists, including Kirk Hammett, Billy Corgan and Steve Vai.
Tokyo Tapes Revisited: Live in Japan will be released in four formats:
1. Video and audio recording of Roth’s Tokyo concert in a BluRay digipak containing one BluRay video disc and two audio CDs
2. The same as 1 (above), only in a DVD digipak
3. A digital audio copy of the Tokyo concert
4. A super-deluxe box set, limited to 800 copies. It will be a proper, lid-off shell box containing four heavyweight vinyl LPs of Roth’s 2015 Scorpions Revisited album, which has never been released on vinyl. There also will be an 80-page, gatefold, hardcover 12-inch book that will house eight discs: 1 BluRay concert main-feature, 1 bonus BluRay disc (which will contain the original footage from the first Japanese Scorpions Tour 1978, shot personally by Roth on his Super 8 camera), 2 audio CDs of the main Tokyo concert and 4 bonus audio CDs of Roth’s Osaka and Nagoya dates on the same Japanese tour. The set will also include a T-shirt, an Uli Jon Roth repica guitar key-ring and a signed certificate of authenticity, numbered and signed by Roth.
You can pre-order Tokyo Tapes Revisited: Live in Japan on CD/DVD here and CD/BluRay here. For more information about (and to order) the deluxe box set, head here.
