  Makoto Kubota & The Sunset Gang - Sunset Gang [SOLID 45 JPN/FRA 2021 24-Bit FLAC] Originally released on the Showboat Records label in Japan in 1973 and repressed this year for the first time since release, Makoto Kubota and chums redeliver their very first album of American influenced psychedelic dixie-rock & southern folk with references from the bayou all the way to Honolulu. Sounds bizarre I know, but the wonderful sleeve should tell you that this is no ordinary album. Oh, that bloke from YMO with the bushy eyebrows plays bass, but you already guessed that, hadn't you?
