Description
• deluxe gatefold sleeve
• first time on vinyl
Another crucial release from the highly influential and reclusive Japanese psychedelic noise band, Les Rallizes Denudes. Originally formed in 1967, the band was known for its ties to avant-garde theatre groups (as typified by Shuji Terayama’s troupe) and leftist political groups, and their feedback-drenched live shows and use of strobe lights and mirror balls onstage earned them comparisons with the Velvet Underground. In 1970 bass player Moriaki Wakabayashi was involved in the hijacking of Japan Airlines Flight 351 orchestrated by the Japanese Red Army. Singer Takashi Mizutani was allegedly offered a role in the hijacking but turned it down. Cable Hogue was a CD release compiled by Mizutani from the original tapes he used for the Rallizes video which was released in 1992, released here for the first time on vinyl
