RELEASE DESCRIPTION
RELEASE DESCRIPTION
Shigeru Suzuki's historic masterpiece BAND WAGON is set to be reissued with a newly remastered version, personally supervised by Suzuki himself. The 2025 edition will be available as a colored vinyl LP and cassette tape, set to be released on March 25, 2025—exactly 50 years after its original release!
Fifty years after its debut, BAND WAGON remains timeless and is considered a bible for guitarists. Created in the fall of 1974 during Suzuki’s solo trip to the U.S., this monumental first solo album features his sharp guitar playing on his beloved Stratocaster. It ignited the passion of members from bands like Little Feat, Sly & The Family Stone, Santana, and Tower of Power, resulting in a powerful, funky groove with an overwhelming band sound. Combined with Takashi Matsumoto's poetic lyrics, it created a unique world that changed the standard of Japanese rock forever. BAND WAGON, the legendary masterpiece that established Shigeru Suzuki as one of Japan's most prominent guitarists, continues to resonate today!
Original release: March 25, 1975 (recorded on the U.S. West Coast)

Let customers speak for us
from 30 reviewsI got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.
Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
Great shop, I can only recommend it.
I finally received it. It came well packaged and secure. The customer assistance was great and helpful with my queries.
honestly i was very happy to have this poster come in, and imma buy a frame for it later. the poster is really beautiful and i love it, there was a slight defect to it, no fault to the company, but the mailing service itself, but it doesnt really bother me at all since it’s barely noticeable, i am just so happy to own it!!
Beautiful packaging and lovely sonic excursions abound from this vinyl. Thank you !̦ Helix.
Excellent album. I had never purchased from this vendor before and I was initially leary (this album is sold out on bandcamp and Materia Collective's site, and I'd never heard of Helix). But the album arrived quickly and was packaged very securely. I wish the "gold swirl" was a touch more apparent but I understand that each record will look different. Wonderful release from Rozen overall.
Great album that been on list for a while,had to grab for this great price! And shipping was pretty fast as well ,will definitely recommend and shop again.🙏🏽
Awesome addition to my collection.
Vinyl came in great shape and plays well!
