WE ARE TEDDY BOYS (temporary)

[Machine Translation] The complete collection of the legendary GERMAN TEDDY BOY BAND "RAWHIDE"! This German band is deeply involved in the culture of both TEDDY BOYS and ROCKERS, and was led by Bernd, one of the main figures in the European TEDDY BOYS scene. The band is now disbanded (the members are still active in their own bands), but they are still very popular in the European scene. In Japan, two songs were included in the ROCKERS/TEDDY BOYS omnibus "TEDS'N'ROCKERS" released by REVEL YELL MUSIC, which has attracted a lot of attention. Many listeners who heard "TEDS'N'ROCKERS" asked for "RAWHIDE's solo release! After discussions with the band, they have decided to release a complete collection of all their recordings, which had never been released in Europe. The band is a typical British Rock'n'Roll/TEDDY BOY style band, but the inclusion of a piano player, the introduction of saxophone on some songs, and Bernd's powerful and present vocals set them apart from other TEDDY BOY bands in terms of sound. The sound of the band is very different from that of other teddy boy bands. Until now, there have been few independent releases of authentic TEDDY BOY bands in Japan (only in the late 1970s from major labels), and this album is sure to be one that will make known the authentic TEDDY BOY culture, which has been a kind of a mystery to all but maniacal fans. I am sure that this work will be a piece that will make known the authentic TEDDY BOY culture, which until now has been a kind of mystery to all but enthusiasts.

伝説のGERMAN TEDDY BOY BAND「RAWHIDE」の全曲集!★TEDDY BOYSとROCKERS両方の文化に深く関わるこのドイツのバンドは、ヨーロッパのTEDDY BOYSシーンの中心人物の一人である、Berndを中心にしたメンバーで活動していたバンドです。現在は解散しています(メンバーは各々のバンドで活動中)が今もなおヨーロッパのシーンを中心に絶大な人気を集めるバンドです。日本ではREVEL YELL MUSICがリリースしたROCKERS/TEDDY BOYSオムニバス「TEDS'N'ROCKERS」に2曲収録され注目を集めています。「TEDS'N'ROCKERS」を聴いた多数のリスナーからの「RAWHIDEの単独でのリリースを!」の要望に答え、バンドとの話し合いの末にヨーロッパでもリリースされる事のなかった彼等の全レコーディングを集めたコンプリート盤がリリースされる事になりました。典型的なBritish Rock'n'Rollスタイル/TEDDY BOYスタイルのバンドですが、メンバーにピアノを含んでいる事や曲によってサックスも導入している事、そしてBerndの迫力で存在感のあるボーカルで他のTEDDY BOYバンドとはサウンド面で大きな差をつけています。今まで日本で本場のTEDDY BOYバンドが単独でリリースされた事は殆どなく(1970年代後期メジャーからあっ スだけです)、この作品は今までマニアックなファン以外からはある種の謎に包まれていた本場のTEDDY BOY文化を知らしめる一枚になる事は間違いないと思います。
