This is the definitive, fully edited recording of Friction's historic live performance at Kanagawa University in Japan in 1980 when Masatoshi Tsunematsu had still been in the band as a guitarist. Released in 1996, the year after "Zone Tripper" was released, this live album was welcomed by fans as an insight into early Friction live performances at a time when "'79 Live" was still hard to find. In the short six months since the release of "79 Live," it is clear that the trio has deepened to a frightening degree. The unusual prominence, solidity, and tightness of the performance were nothing short of tremendous. This is the long-awaited first Vinyl release of this dangerous, ruthlessly thrilling, and spectacular live album.
