Originally released after the band made their major debut with their first album \"ISSHOKU SOKUHATSU\" on Toho Records in 1974, this single came out during a transitional period when the lineup expanded to five members. Recorded in July 1975, the band performed the track in August at Japan’s largest rock festival, the \"World Rock Festival\" at Korakuen Stadium, even just before its release. Leaving a powerful impression, the single was officially released on September 25 of the same year. With its tense rhythm and performance, and without the addition of sound effects over the mix, the track allows listeners to fully appreciate the raw appeal of the band’s playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBe sure to experience this highly sought-after 7-inch—whose used market prices continue to rise—at the powerful sound pressure of 45 rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs quantities are limited, bonuses will end once supplies run out.

Combined with their distinctive psychedelic lyrical world, this album marks the full blossoming of their originality as a band. Four young musicians in their twenties independently crafted a sound inspired by the hard rock and progressive rock then dominant in the US and UK. It is also known as Japan’s first self-produced rock album. As a work that is at once rock, progressive, and a source of what would later be known as J-FUSION—hugely popular overseas—it stands as an essential listening experience not only for dedicated music fans but also for younger audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eObi faithfully reproduced from the original pressing (with the position changed from left to right).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"ISSHOKU SOKUHATSU\" LP: Clear sky blue vinyl, 33 rpm.
