GINJI ITO / DEADLY DRIVE (2LP)

The historic masterpiece "DEADLY DRIVE" was released in 1977, when Japanese rock was about to reach its maturity from its infancy, and although it has been released on CD four times, it was only released on analog (the second release of the same year). (excluding press) has not been reissued, and many have been looking forward to it. The sophisticated urban sound with the participation of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Taeko Onuki, Ruriko Ogami, etc., still enjoys strong support from fans, and includes songs such as "Konuka Ame", which was already performed during the Sugar Babe era, and the collaboration with Kunio Muramatsu. Since it includes the co-written song "Deadly Drive," it is of course a favorite listening album for Niagara fans, and in recent years, as the term "CITY POP" has become recognized both domestically and internationally, it has become popular and has been featured in numerous guide books. It's spurring me on. Moreover, this time, in addition to the original reissue, Ginji Ito himself selected the instrumental back tracks and unreleased outtakes that were first made into sound sources on the "DEADLY DRIVE 40th Anniversary Edition" released on CD in 2017, and are the first analogue. A gorgeous 2-disc set! *Self-liner notes by Ginji Ito written specifically for this reissue.
