BOW WOW - Signal Fire + OBI - JAPAN Invitation 1977 1st Press - EXCELLENT PLUS VINTAGE VINYL

ANALOGUE SOUND! Super rare (especially complete - with obi strip and in perfect condition) first Japanese pressing from 1977 of the second album by a very underrated great hard rock formation, almost unknown outside Japan. The members of Metallica were big fans of the early Bow Wow records and one of the tracks (Silver Lightning) was seriously considered for a Metallica cover! To tell the truth, listening to this 40-minute, very competently produced and genuinely superb album it is hard to believe that it was made in the 70s! Among the ten compositions the musicians offered an atmospheric intro, a harmless ballad and eight more or less hard rock-metal numbers filled to the brim with guitar jams. The only thing that was not very thrilling was the rather average, though definitely acceptable, English vocals delivered with a Japanese manner. Complete with obi strip and a lyric insert. Perfect condition! Stiff cardboard sleeve: EX+ / Record: EX+
