dokken - beast from the east

bungkusan yg diterima serentak bersama2 bungkusan lain yg aku cerita kat entry ozzy & motorhead. setelah lbh 40+ hari menuggu akhirnya smpi jugak cd ni

kronologi - tarikh beli kat ebay 9/5/2009, cop custom declaration united states postal service 11/5/2009, cop pelepasan kastam 19/5/2009, cop pjbt pos bintulu 23/7/2009 mmg slalu camtu, biasanya sangkut lama kat kastam sblm release pi pjbt pos. ekceli cd ni aku menang bid 1 cent cd kat ebay user jayandmarie dgn harga US$1.36+3.90 (RM18.98)

bila dah bukak bungkusan aku kira terkejut jugak, because the cd was much better than i've expected! kat info item waktu bid dia bgtau cd ni used, lps tu aku pilih option ship without case utk jimatkan kos... tp, cd yg aku dpt ni dtg skali dgn jewel case yg bleh kira near mint or excellent condition. tgk cd kat dlm, cd was near mint cuma ada sket scratch... inlay pun near mint

lagi 1 yg bestnya, cd ni cd lama klu tgk printing atas cd pun masih lg style lama (old school cd) yg cuma print logo dan track listing, no graphics (pic kat bwh). printed in usa (p)(c) 1988 elektra/asylum records aku rasa cd ni 1st release press bkn remastered or reissued edition (us press) sama mcm cd manowar fighting the world aku (1987 press) kira aku bertuah la ni... dpt something rare (ni klu berteromber tau ni mesti dia jeles, muahahaha!~)

oke, album beast from the east ni merupakan album dokken perform live kat jepun somewhere in 1988 (huh! aku baru darjah 3 time ni)

1. unchain the night

lagu febret? tooth and nail, dream warriors, into the fire, lagu ballad berhantu alone again, just got lucky, breaking the chains dan in my dreams. pernah skali aku rasa nyesal sbb terbeli cd ni kat ebay... tp bila dah dpt aku rasa bertuah plak, secara rasminya cd ni merupakan cd dokken ke-2 dlm koleksi aku (dan bukan utk dijual semula... hehehe)

mini entry: the very best of dokken

aku pun bleh dikirakan baru jugak minat dgn dokken ni, xsengaja minat dorg, semuanya gara2 dgr braingell radio yg skali skala pasang lagu2 dokken. antara lagu dokken yg 1st aku enjoy dgr ialah lagu breaking the chain. lbh2 lg bila dgr killer solo oleh george lynch. dah kebetulan cerita pasal dokken, cd ni pun ada dlm koleksi aku - the very best of dokken

cd ni aku beli 23/10/2005 kat db music, komtar (time tu still keje kat penang) dgn harga RM43.90. klu nak tau, db music ni satu2nya kedai kaset/cd (setau aku la) yg berkonsepkan rock/metal kat penang selain ada lg 1 kedai kat summit bkt mertajam (betulkan aku klu ada lg tmpt lain). tmpt aku slalu beli kaset/cd metal since 2000 kira regular kastemer la ni. aunty kedai ni pun dasat gak knowledge, lbh kurg mcm aunty kat campbell's tu. yg bestnya aunty ni... ada certain2 items dia x letak kat display, bila ada peminat tegar atau kastemer2 tertentu (mcm aku) baru dia kluarkan items yg bleh dikirakan limited edition atau special imported cd. kena pandai tanya la (but that was another story)

cd ni (p) & (c) 1999 elektra entertainment group, made in germany by warner music manufacturing europe (german press la ni, imported) seperti tajuknya, mmg semua lagu2 dlm album ni best2 blaka... semua lagu2 killer dokken, xpyh list down

kdg2 aku nak tergelak bila tgk pic dlm cd ni... tu style dressing glam/hair rock 80an, siap dgn rambut kembang, mekap, dressing feminin sket hehehe... ramai mat2 rock kat m'sia tiru pesen ni dulu2. but that was the 80s... and it rocks! more info about dokken on dokken official website or this wikipedia link. oke, jom layan dokken~
