 Original 1st press on Shimmy Disk with insert. The vinyl and record are both vg+. an amazing debut album from this japanese band who have influenced so much new music. Crazy to the hilt. Don't see this one up often...For American and European audiences, Boremania began with this album. Released on the then hyperhip Shimmy-Disc, Soul Discharge turned out to be the calling card for a whole host of Japanese noise/psychedelic bands to make the leap from notoriety at home to cult status worldwide. Time hasn't dulled the impact of the album, as astonishing then as it is now. Playing what the liner notes describe (with a nod to George Clinton), as "psychoalphadiscobetaudioaquadoloop sound," Soul beggars easy description, taking the band's previous work to an even more compelling level of insanity. The Butthole Surfers were always the easiest point of comparison, but even that doesn't fully capture what's at play. Tempo shifts occur as a matter of course, lyrics are flat-out unintelligible in no matter what language they're sung, or rather screamed, and guitars seem to randomly trip, sprawl, and vomit over each other as roiling and rolling drums drive the whole thing along (Human Rich Vox Y and No. 1 Y, aka Yoshimi, make for a killer dual-percussionist team). Simply put, it's wonderful. The bandmembers' sense of humor and sheer fun predominate more than anything else, taking sonics most thrash metal bands would kill for and making them the equivalent of a sugar/caffeine high. Definitely one of the funnier moments occur when "52 Boredom (Club Mix)" begins almost exactly like a B-52's song, and then freaks out completely within seconds. Another strength of the band is how they sneak in catchy bits amidst weirdness, like the almost straightforward, hip-shaking break in "Sun, Gun, Run" or the heavy-duty riff in "TV Scorpion." Adding the squealing insanities of Yamatsuka Eye and P-We YY results in something that even Captain Beefheart might never have been able to create.

SHIPPING--PLEASE PAY ATTENTION. Shipping domestic is $4. That includes a pro mailer, cardboard backing and is good FOR UP TO THREE RECORDS. Add a dollar per after that.
