Product Description
Tracks from the early years of Fishmans selected by the drummer KIn-Ichi Motegi, Blue Summer being the title of their first demo. As well as singer Shinji Sato (who died in 1999) the group also featured Kensuke Ojima (guitar, vocals), bassist Yuzuru Kashiwabara and on their first albu, Hakase-Sun. Their first album, Chappie Don't Cry was produced by Kazufumi Kodama of Mute Beat and was a fairly straightforward reggae record. Subsequent albums would be more experimental with a Shibuya-kei take on reggae and dub, which would become more of their trademark sound. This album contains tracks from the first album, the EP, Corduroy's Mood, singles and more.
