V.A. "Pass No Past - EPs & Singles" CD

A compilation of all the singles and EPs released by PASS, an important label in the history of Japanese rock that existed from 1979 to 1981.

The emergence of punk and new wave had opened up a more open British music scene, and independent labels such as Rough Trade and Factory were born, expressing new sensibilities and ways of speaking.
PASS Records resonated with this paradigm shift in music. PASS was an extremely important label that existed from 1979 to 1981 and is indispensable when talking about the history of Japanese rock. This is a perfect collection of the diverse early works released only as singles and EPs by PASS. This 2CD set includes special recordings treasured by the musicians themselves as bonus tracks!

Friction's debut EP, digitally mastered for the first time from the original print, and the original mono mix of Phew + Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Final Song", available digitally for the first time.
This special edition includes a rare live version of Totsuzen Danboru's "Kankaku ga kigou nara" from 1979 and a spectacular live solo performance by Masatoshi Tsunematsu from the time of his first solo EP release.
