The Sham - Raw Raw Raw 7" ('86/Japan) Japanese Goth, Punk, R&R

DJ nAo12xu Private Vinyl Collection. See below for more infos.
勝手にしやがれのドラマー武藤昭平氏や、後にThe Hundredsを結成する佐々木モトアキ氏が主体となって結成された福岡拠点のバンド、The Shamの1stシングル。
本作A-1の"Puppet...(あやつり人形)"は海外ゴス・ファンにも刺さりそうなダークめのキーボード入りパンク・ナンバーだが、A-2"Real eye baby"はややルーズなR&Rを感じさせるめんたいロック系ナンバー。
B面は福岡天神ビブレホールでのライブ音源とのことだが曲名不明の3曲。
現存する福岡のBorder Line RecordsのChameleonレーベルよりリリースされた本作ののちに、彼らはメジャーのワーナー・パイオニアからアルバム1枚とシングル2枚をリリースしているそうだがなかなか見かけず未聴。
後続の作品のジャケットから想像するに、ゴスバンドというよりは、バッドボーイズR&R要素が強いバンドだったのかもしれないが、とにかくA1"Puppet"が妖艶なギターやキーボードのおかげでゴスいナンバーになってるのでオススメ。
ちなみにこの曲のライブ映像では佐々木氏はバリバリのゴス/ポジパン メイクでカッコ良いです。

Fukuoka based band including Shohei Mutoh (Katte Ni Shiyagare) and Motoaki Sasaki (The Hundreds), The Sham's 1st 7inch single.
This A-1 song "Puppet" is enjoyable as Dark Punk/Goth number, but I think they are more Bad Boys Rock'n Roll band than Gothic band.
Side-B songs are recorded live tracks which was not written any song title.
After this independent single, they released 1 album and 2 single from Japanese Warner/Pioneer label. Just to mention.
I highly recommend A1"Puppet"(00:00).
You can find live video of "Puppet" on KZbin as well and Singer Sasaki has totally Goth Make up.

This is great, thanks for sharing

[@nAo12xu]

Yeah this is unknown but really great dark punk song especially A-1👍

[@Kattvakten]

I’ve got quite a good grasp of the Japanese metal scene during the 80’s and have a pretty large collection of records but I’ve only recently started venturing out into the Japanese post punk scene and this channel is great for finding new stuff 👍

[@noinim]

Wish they had more songs like Puppet. So gooood!

[@nAo12xu]

Yeah my opinion is just same as you, they turned into more R&R/Hard Rock style.

[@milagrosp5816]

Hiii again, is there any chance you will upload their other albums??

[@nAo12xu]

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have their album yet. Someday I will...
