Oriental Beat by Hanoi Rocks, originally released in 1982, gets its definitive 40th anniversary “re(al) mix” treatment—officially mixed and revived from the original sessions. For decades, the band felt the original mix, rushed and poorly produced, didn’t capture their true sound. With the rediscovery of the master tapes, they’ve now remixed and resequenced the album exactly as intended, stripping it back to its raw essence without overdubs or samples. This deluxe edition, out March 17 on vinyl, CD, and digital, showcases the band’s peak creativity and attitude, finally delivering the sound Hanoi Rocks always wanted.
