The fact that JAPAN's *Quiet Life* album was released in 1979 and 1980 is particularly symbolic for a band that was about to release a glam rock record, and ended up producing an album in a completely new style that would define the sound of the 80s. *Quiet Life* is their third, last, and biggest hit on the Hansa Records label. A precursor to the New Wave sound of the new decade, the album would become one of the great British classics. *Quiet Life* is being reissued in an exceptional edition with an all-new remastering of the original album done at Abbey Road, including alternate mixes, B-sides, singles, rarities, and live recordings, including the highly sought-after "Lost, Live at Budokan Show" from March 1980, which was previously only available as a 4-track "Live in Japan" EP. This new edition of *Quiet Life* includes a recently restored mock-up of the original album, new liner notes with contributions from band members and the original producer, rare and unseen photographs and memorabilia. This reissue was made in close collaboration with original band members Steve Jansen and Rob Dean, producer John Punter, and with the advice of band biographer Anthony Reynolds. In addition to the Deluxe 1LP + 3CD version, *Quiet Life* is also available on LP and CD.
