In the late '60s, the storm of the rock revolution sweeping the US and UK quickly reached Japan. From 1969 into the early '70s, the Japanese rock scene entered its "New Rock" era. Out of that genesis of Japanese rock came Apryl Fool, Yuya Uchida & The Flowers, Sanhouse and others. As pioneers, they built rock's inherently free and unrestrained world through repeated trial and error, driven by their innate spirit of challenge. (from the original liner notes) Of course, these Flowers would later become Flower Travellin' Band. Apart from the instrumental "Hidariashi no Otoko," all nine tracks are distinctively interpreted covers of Western rock classics. And they hit the spot like nothing else "" the raw, gritty flavor is irresistible. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
