DESCRIPTION
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)

For all fans, this is a must-buy. Especially hooked by the track Wind, which is the very first ending of the anime.
This album sounds as good and hits as hard as it did when it was released! Extra fun getting it from Helix Sounds, they always have the best stuff :)

I 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.
