TENJOSAJIKI/with Terayama Shuji, J.A. Seazer, Ishima Hideki (Flower Traveling Band), Kuni Kawauchi, Sato Hiroshi, etc: “OST Sho O Tsuteyo, Machi E Deyou - Throw Away the Books, Let's Go Out On The Street” (Victor – SJV-514) Hyper rare original first pressing in gatefold sleeve. Rarest of the RARE!!!! One of the best heavy psych records to seep out of Japan!!!! “Tenjosajiki troupe, formed by poet, film maker, boxing fan and all round agent provocateur Shuji Terayama. Renowned for Living Theatre inspired audience participation happenings and extreme street theatre designed to shock the bourgeois. By 1970, the group had already become a haven for runaway teens and a focus for police investigation. Terayama was canny enough to realize that co-opting their music was an ideal way to hijack the adolescent energies and he used heavy amplified rock to jump star his chaotic, socially critical acid operas. Heard today, even independent for their lyrical message, they're astonishingly powerful as pieces of music, deploying huge Magma choruses alongside juggernaut organ, guitar, bass, drums and fully out-there vocalizing. This disc that was originally released in 1970 is subtitled as a “high teen symphony”, the performance centers around untrained adolescents reading out their own tortured, angry texts and poems. Their stories of family disintegration and mother hate, dreams and hopes for the future and love songs to teen murderer Norio Nagayama and Mick Jagger are set to an attractively rough and ready pounding psych-rock soundtrack largely composed by organist Kawauchi Kuni. Kawauchi had been a member of the pioneering Prog group Happenings Four and his brooding organ riffs feature throughout. As well as heavy rockers like the great opening “Let's Go Ornette”, with its ripping fuzz lead, Orff-styled choral chants and motorbike effects, Kawauchi was also capable of delicate, folkish pieces ideally suited for some of the company's outstanding female vocalists., several of whom developed successful singing careers outside Tenjosajiki. Also of note is a track composed by a young design school dropout, Shinjuku street hippy and winner of a nation wide long hair competition JA Seazer. Set to a simple handclap rhythm, Seazer's tale of panhandling life possessed a subtle melodic strength and depth that hinted at the minor keys of traditional folk song.”Alan Cummings, The Wire. Well, this sums it up pretty well, a fantastic disc. Original copy in TOP condition…
