Tokyo Rockers was actually a movie,and this is its "soundtrack"...of sorts.The film itself is similar
to the Decline of western civilization,but in Japanese.The songs on the LP do not appear in the film,
and some bands were omitted from the LP...sadly,8 1/2 and SS were 2 of the casualites,but fine
performances by Friction and Lizard almost make up for it....however,the films footage of Friction
doing "crazy dream" has to be seen to be belived,as does SS doing "Mr Twist"...in SS's case,
imagine a bunch of Taoist monks playing fast as fuck punk rock....more like hardcore,really 1979,
Columbia records Japan....probably a few thousand around but a rare bird...however,when you do
find one,its condition (as with most other japanese records) is usually near new,due to the
impeccable tidyness of the Japanese.
Sleeve to the video...makes the 'soundrtack' LP pale in comparison.
