Ya. +3 [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [UHQCD]

[Machine Translation] Ryo Kagawa's third live album from URC, recorded in 1973! The album features 10 songs excerpted from live performances at Shibuya Jean Jean, Nagoya Kinro Kaikan Small Hall, Toyota Kinro Kaikan Hall, and Ochanomizu Nichibutsu Kaikan with his ally Isato Nakagawa in a simple formation. The performances were gathered from small halls where Ryo Kagawa's charm is most evident. In a relaxed atmosphere with occasional laughter from the audience, a cynical and humorous performance typical of Ryo Kagawa unfolds. Although this was a live recording, the songs were all first-time releases that could only be heard here. From the first song, "New Year's Eve," it is inevitable that you will be drawn in by the powerful voice. Folk Singer," which humorously expresses a personal grudge against the mass media, shows the sentiments of folk singers of the time and Ryo Kagawa's beliefs. The album also includes "Seiton", which features Ryo Kagawa's piano playing, and cover songs such as Shiba's "Yoru Kisha ni Notte" and Kei Tani's "Pinkie-chan". In addition, three previously unreleased live recordings from URC have been added to this long-awaited reissue in paper jacket and high-quality UHQCD! (with a lyrics card handwritten by Ryo Kagawa)

URCからの3枚目となる、加川良'73年のライヴ・アルバム! 盟友・中川イサトとのシンプルな編成で、渋谷ジャンジャン～名古屋勤労会館小ホール～豊田勤労会館ホール～御茶ノ水日仏会館で行われたライヴから抜粋された10曲を収録。加川良の魅力が最も発揮される小ホールでの演奏が集められた。時折オーディエンスの笑い声がもれるリラックスした雰囲気の中、シニカルでユーモラスな加川良らしいステージが展開される。ライヴ盤とはいえ、ここでしか聴けない初出の曲ばかり。控えめにサポートに徹する中川イサトの味わい深いギターも聴き所。1曲目「大晦日」から、力強い歌声に惹き込まれること必至。マスメディアへの私怨がユーモア混じりに歌われる「フォーク・シンガー」からは、当時のフォークシンガーの心情や加川良の信念が窺える。そのほか、加川良のピアノ弾き語りが聴ける「精一杯」、シバ「夜汽車にのって」や谷啓「小指ちゃん」等のカヴァー曲も収録。更にURC未発表発掘ライヴ音源3曲を追加し、紙ジャケット、高音質UHQCDにて待望の復刻! (加川良手書き歌詞カード付)
