Digitally re-mastered reissue of the Japanese Prog/Hard Rock band's 1976 self-titled debut. Outside of a handful of obscure Japanese Progressive Rock groups, Bow Wow were one of the first native groups to play in a style that suggested they might actually have international potential. Indeed, although this, their debut album, displayed a certain rough-hewn charm, capturing raw riffs and basic arrangements, the energy and enthusiasm cannot be denied. Additionally, Kyoji Yamamotos guitar playing was already indicating that he would, in a few short years, become one of the most accomplished players in the world. Above all else, Bow Wow's debut album is an historic achievement. Rock Candy. 2009.
