Founded in 1972 by members of a university folk club, Abeichizoku were influenced by Yoshio Hayakawa’s Jacks and URC bands like Happy End, Itsutsu No Akai Fusen and Dylan II. In the twilight of their school years, with the word “job” looming over them, the band recorded their lone album in a grueling 8-hour shift in their university’s assembly hall. Originally released in 1973 and made in only 100 copies, this essential piece of Japanese 70s folk rock has been reissued here for the first time.
