Tetsu Yamauchi - TETSU (LP)
The first solo album recorded by Tetsu Yamauchi, who became a freelance bassist after working through Mickey Curtis & Samurai, when he temporarily returned home in 1972. "Wiki Wiki" with strong edgy guitars, groovy funk rock "First Time", "How To Cook" and "Orange Dog", and "A" with Eleanor's angly vocals. One of them full of listening to, such as Alexander Stone, "Why" and "Baby Blue". Reissued with remastering by Makoto Kubota.
After his work with Miki Curtis & Samurai and just after joining the British rock band Free, Tetsu Yamauchi recorded his first solo album during a brief return to Japan in 1972.
This remarkable record is packed with standout tracks: the razor-sharp guitar riffs of “Wiki Wiki,” the groovy funk-rock vibes of “First Time,” “How To Cook,” and “Orange Dog,” and the sultry, melancholic vocals of Eleanor on “Alexander Stone,” “Why,” and “Baby Blue.”
Now beautifully reissued and remastered by Makoto Kubota, this hidden gem is a must-listen for fans of early ’70s Japanese rock.
