Since I got into Japanese Rock this collective have always fascinated me often composing music for Shuji Terayama movies/theatrical performances. I love JA Seazer's - Kokkyou Junreika and Tokyo Kid Brothers - Lets go out in the Streets (P-Vine version - I only have a CDR and really want the original £30 waiting here for anyone who wants to part with it) - What're your views on their other albums - I hope someone with the TKB 6CD boxset will let me know what those disks are like, in particular the legendary GOLDEN BAT! PS To "Cock-a-Doodle" - Drop me an email on [email protected]

MC,
By all costs stay far away from that box, as it is a deluxe, high priced collection comprised of latter-day Broadway/Noh tune extravaganzas more suited for those of a liberetto-following disposition

The outtakes EP of '69/'70 material was the only salvagable thing out of the mess -- and THAT was only a handfulla songs (*sob*)

J.A. Seazer's "Kokkyou Junreika" is excellent -- unfortunately, it's fairly out of print at this point

The cast of a small Japanese production of 'Hair', eventually became the Tokyo Kid Brothers. This was in the late 60s.

I stumbled upon the CD purely by chance: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Hair-The-Original-Japanese-Cast-Recording/release/14621241

Catalog number: BVCK-38043
Genre: Psychedelic Rock

I found 2 names that are on the CD that were also in TKB, so it's got to be the same version. I'm excited to listen, it's definitely historic.
