BAND WAGON -50th Anniversary-
Shigeru Suzuki's historic masterpiece "BAND WAGON". A colored LP record and cassette tape using the latest 2025 remastered sound source supervised by Suzuki himself will be released on March 25, 2025, 50 years after the original release!

50 years since its release. This work, which has not yet faded and can be said to be a bible for guitarists, is a memorable first solo album produced in the fall of 1974 when he went to the United States alone.
The brilliant guitar playing released from his beloved Stratocaster seriously fired up the members of Little Feat, Sly & the Family Stone, Santana, and Tower of Power, creating an overwhelming band sound with a funky groove. Combined with Takashi Matsumoto's windy lyrics, a unique world unfolds. An unprecedented historic masterpiece that changed the standard of Japanese rock. The monumental work ""BAND WAGON"" by Shigeru Suzuki, one of Japan's leading guitar legends who is still active as a musician, resonates here! Original release: March 25, 1975 (recorded on the West Coast of the United States)
