別れの朝

The first record by the group headed by the percussionist Pedro Umemura that got fame in the mid 70s as one of the first Japanese funksters. This album is a typical Group Sounds that was unfashionable at that moment. The record is divided on the two sides not only physically but stylistically. And if the side A - almost pure variety music, intermitting Japanese song with covers on overseas melodies (including the smash hits like "Love Story" and "Tombe la Niege"), but the side B is full with rock covers, among them are Lennon's "Love", McCartney's "Eat At Home", Joplin's "Move Over" and Santana's (or Fleetwood Mac's - who prefers more) "Black Magic Woman". This record, if to be honest, has not something special but may be interesting as the first work by the group and the debut of Mariko Takahasi, who in 1978 quit from Pedro & Capricious and got a huge popularity in Japan as solo singer, recorded almost 30 albums.
