The band was formed by Masayoshi Kabe, Shinki Chen and Joey Smith (later joined by Joe Yamanaka), who are among the leading figures in the Japanese rock scene. Warner Pioneer distributed numerous white-label promotional copies to DJs and members of the press, but sales of the official release, which was actually sold in retail outlets, were extremely low. As a result, standard retail copies are now far rarer on the second-hand market.

Released during Warner-Pioneer’s famous 1971–1972 “RockAge” promotional campaign. Originals came with the highly fragile “RockAge” flower-logo obi (L-6016A), which was almost always torn or discarded by listeners at the time.

6 inserts included.
