LOVE LIVE LIFE +1 - LOVE WILL MAKE A BETTER YOU

King Records 1971

01 The Question Mark
02 Runnin' Free
03 Love Will Make A Better You
04 Shadows Of The Mind
05 Facts About It All


This Japanese 'super session' style album was orchestrated by Ikuzo Orita. Guitar freak hero Kimio Mizutani has a role on this, as does pop vocalist Akira Fuse.

Eighteen minutes of "The Question Mark" take up the whole of side one. It's a marvellous avant freak out while the second side has burning solos, acid funk and a James Brown sound, albeit Japanese and heavily psychedelic.
