Recorded during a solo trip to the United States in the fall of 1974, Shigeru Suzuki's Band Wagon became an instant guitarist's bible: sharp, expressive Stratocaster playing set against a powerful, funky band sound and Takashi Matsumoto's poetic lyrics. The record helped members of Little Feat, Sly and the Family Stone, Santana, and Tower of Power take notice of Japanese rock, and fifty years on it still holds up as a genre-defining statement. This clear orange vinyl edition is a newly remastered version personally supervised by Suzuki himself, released a half century after the original.
