*LP / Clear Green Vinyl

This is the second album in Toshiba EMI's "Professional Use Series," released in 1977.

Two years after "Introducing," this 1977 album, the second in Toshiba EMI's "Pro-Use Series," is being reissued on clear green vinyl! In addition to Shuichi "Ponta" Murakami (drums) and Rei Ohara (bass), who were on the previous album, percussionist Nobu Saito and others have been added to further strengthen the rhythm section. This is a superb work that is more pop-oriented, more thrilling, and more refined, featuring the famous track "Left-Handed Woman," in which Fukamachi explores the further possibilities of analog synthesizers and composer Kenji Omura compete in solos, and "Take It Easy, Mr. King Kong," which makes full use of the talk box.
