The leader of the band Michiro Endo anticipated departing from punk rock and created this work, exploring a sound inclined towards psychedelic music, a challenging move that seemed to self-denounce The Stalin's previous style. Higo Hiroshi from Friction was also involved in the band as bassist during this recording. Endo reminisced later about the album as: \"More specifically, the main theme was how to kill The Stalin.\" Following this release, The Stalin disbanded and marked it as their final album.  Although the remix version produced by Bill Laswell released in 1986 is generally more highly regarded, P-VINE focuses on the original version and reissues it on vinyl with the original artwork for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"P-Vine","offers":[{"title":"Black LP.","offer_id":50425220825419,"sku":"2177403","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/unnamed_4_bbd8ee03_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726788122"},{"product_id":"answer-81-unreleased-live-recordings-at-kyoto-takutaku-1981419","title":"Answer 81  (Unreleased live recordings at Kyoto TakuTaku, 1981.4.19)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1981, the legendary Japanese punk band The Stalin performed in an event called \"Answer 81\" at a venue called \"Taku Taku\" in Kyoto,and the previously unreleased live recording has been unexpectedly unearthed and now available from P-Vine.
