FRICTION "Live - Pass Tour '80" LP
★First press limited edition
A spectacular performance that will mark the end of the era of Reck, Hige, and Tsunematsu. An unparalleled, solitary ensemble that stands tall in the history of Japanese rock.
This is the complete compilation of the historic live performance of Friction, a trio consisting of Reck (b/vo), Chico Hige (ds), and Tsunematsu Masatoshi (g), held at Kanagawa University in 1980. Released in 1996, the year after the release of "Zone Tripper," and when "_ed '79 Live" was hard to come by (it was released on CD as "79 Live" in 2005), this album was welcomed by fans old and new as a way to learn about the early Friction live performances. Despite being recorded just six months after "79 Live," it is clear to see that the trio had evolved and deepened to an incredible degree. The extraordinary prominence, solidity, and tightness are nothing short of amazing. This extremely dangerous, ruthlessly thrilling, and spectacular live album is finally available on LP for the first time!
