Release date:
September, 1995
This is an early demo cassette tape which was presumably released in late 1995. They were just called NOIZ and the band featured the following members:
- TAKASHI (who became Angel-TAKA) on vocals
- TAKAYA on guitar
- AKIRA on bass
- SATOSHI (who became S@TT-ON) on drums and acoustic guitar
The music is rough punk, hard rock and sometimes a bit experimental.
The song マネキン, track 8, was later re-recorded and released on their debut mini-album Imitation PoPs.
This cassette was released with a folded lyrics sheet. The sleeve itself was printed on high quality photo paper. When or where it was released remains unknown. Most websites cite 1996 as the date of release, others September 1st 1995. The type of cassette used for this release was released in Japan in 1994 so the earliest release date is 1994.
I furthermore do not know if it was issued at a concert (which I doubt) or if it was more like a private pressing for friends and relatives. The number of copies is however very low. Total running time is approximately 35 minutes.
