Some words on this issue: PYG: “S/T” (Polydor – MR-5007) Top copy. Comes with the original first press gatefold gimmick cover – upon pushing hard on the pig’s nose, oink can be heard but here some damage visible around nose. Vintage killer side, the first LP by PYG, Japan’s first rock super-group, made up of members of the most famous bands of the Group Sounds era, The Tempters, The Spiders and The Tigers. The members were (keyboards) Katsuo Ohno, (guitar) Takayuki Inouye, (drums) Hiroshi Oguchi, (lead vocals) Kenichi Hagiwara, (bass) Ittoku “Sally” Kishibe and (lead vocals) Kenji Sawada. Session man Yuji Harada, a non Group Sounds star, was also added to the line-up as a second drummer. The band was a seven piece ensemble on stage. Formed in 1970, the unit was fronted by the two biggest stars of the era, lead singers Kenji Sawada of The Tigers and Kenichi Hagiwara of The Tempters. The musical director of the band was guitarist Takayuki Inouye of The Spiders. So seen against this heavy hitting line-up, the band was bound to mess up and blow some headz. And with their first initial LP, the certainly did. Wailing vocals, tumbling down rhythm section, blistering guitar leads, swirling keys, etc. fantastic hard rockin’ psych, a head-spinning trip of killer tunes. Highest recommendation, first original press. One of the finest Japanese psychedelic records to seep out of 1970!!!

New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
