1960年代末から90年代までに活動した個性派ロック・バンドの邦楽ロックの名盤を復刻してフィーチャーしていく`ROCK YOU JAPAN!`シリーズ(全20タイトル)。本作は元ザ・フォーク・クルセダーズの加藤和彦を中心に結成したサディスティック・ミカ・バンドの1975年に発表したサード・アルバム。 (C)RS
The band started as a second-rate rock band, but by this, their third album, they had become rock-tinged jazz, and very good. Originally released in 1975, there are some great musical ideas presented here, like the tune Mommy Doesn't Go To Parties Since Daddy Died - a melancholy tune sharing ear-space with children laughing and playing. Another of my favorites here is Mada Mada Samba, which is indeed a samba, but the title is Japanese for Not Yet Not Yet Midwife. I have been waiting many years for this to come out on CD (I've had a cassette copied from the vinyl I used to own), and am so glad it did!
