This remarkable find emerged from a vast collection of tapes stored by Jojo Hiroshige (Hijokaidan \/ Alchemy Records). The live recording features the early members, Michiro Endo, Shintaro Sugiyama, Atsushi Kaneko, and Jun Inui, delivering an intense performance filled with raw energy and tension, transcending over 40 years in the shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe names of tracks for this release were referenced from a handwritten tracklist of the master tape, and some unfamiliar song names included, titled \"血の海 Want You\", is the song which has renamed later to \"飢餓々々帰郷\" (Kiga Kiga Kikyou), frequently played Endo's solo act but The Stalin version was never officially released before. Additionally, the thirteenth track, \"お前まじかだ (ブタのケツ \/ Buta No Ketsu), is an arrangement of a song from The Stalin's precursor band, Jiheitai. While it was previously included in bootleg releases, this marks the first-ever official release of the track as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e豚に真珠\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e猟奇ハンター\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e血の\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWant You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eコルホーズの玉ネギ畑\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e電動コケシ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eおまえの頭に（ア\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eティスト）\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eサル\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e解剖室\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e冷蔵庫\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight My Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eお前まじかだ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e暗いネ落ち込んだ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e撲殺\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Stalin","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":42663787036863,"sku":"ALPLP-21-BK","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/ALPLP-21-TheStalin-Answer81.jpg?v=1701910095"},{"product_id":"fish-inn-the-stalin-lp","title":"Fish Inn  [Japanese Import]","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirst reissue on vinyl!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e40th Anniversary edition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePressed on Black Vinyl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRELEASE DESCRIPTION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHilton Felton is a keyboardist with a strong following amongst rare groove fans for his sophisticated, mellow and groovy playing. He has released many albums during his career on his own label, Hilton's Concept, Inc. and Family And Friends. This is the first time that P-VINE has reissued this gem, which is sought after by many collectors due to the excellence of the music and the rarity of the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this reissue, all tracks have been given state-of-the-art mastering. There are numerous cover versions of the Jackson 5's well-known hit 'Never Can Say Goodbye' (M3), but it is safe to say that this version by Hilton Felton is by far the best quality. Also impressive is the jazz-funk cover of the Delfonics classic 'La, La Means I Love You' (M5), including the opening track 'Family And Friends' (M1), which enjoys a superb groove created by Hilton's soft playing. The original compositions will satisfy even the most demanding jazz listener. The groovy soul of 'The Power Of Love (It's In My Heart)' (M8), featuring vocals from a young Angela Winbush and Hilton Felton themselves, is also a wonderful performance that offers great depth of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e廃魚\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT-Legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eバイ・バイ・“ニーチェ”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eアクマデ憐レム歌\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFish Inn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"The Stalin","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":42746755252415,"sku":"PLP-8100-BK","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/unnamed_10_1_974x_6e5cb9fc-5614-4549-856e-7c779f070bbe.jpg?v=1705790851"}],"url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/collections\/artist-the-stalin.oembed","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
