Originally released in 1974. "Somewhere between The Doors and Santana, the fuzzy soul of 3 + 3 period Isley Brothers and the poppy English prog rock of Pete Banks-period early Yes and The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other-period Van Der Graaf Generator, is this romantic, soul-influenced album Ishoku-Sokuhatsu (trans. "Dangerous Situation"). This album is progressive pop music similar to that of solo Todd Rundgren or even The Zombies' experimental LP Odessey & Oracle." --Julian Cope, Japrocksampler; "Yonin Bayashi was originally formed in 1970 with Kasutoshi Morizono (guitar and vocals), Kazuo Nakamura (bass) and Daiji Okai (drums). They introduced themselves as 'The San-Nin' (three-piece band) at that time. In early 1971, keyboard player Hidemi Sakashita joined and they became 'Yonin-Bayashi' meaning 'four-piece band' in Japanese. Ishoku-Sokuhatsu is their legendary first album and is a true Japanese hard psychedelic/progressive masterpiece." --Wayside Music; Features the original LP artwork, including the original Japanese insert.

"Yonin Bayashi made its studio album debut with Ishoku-Sokuhatsu in 1974, when all of the members were 20. Their virtuoso performances and experimentation in the studio were exceptional and impressive at the dawn of the Japanese rock business. The sound was a mixture of Pink Floyd, Yes, Deep Purple or Frank Zappa with Hendrix-esque guitar and Procol Harum-like drumming. Yonin Bayashi broke up in 1979. Julian Cope rated Ishoku-Sokuhatsu at number 49 in his top 50 Jap rock albums of all time: 'From mock Italian harmonies and bossanova rhythms, they'll thrust straight into pure Van der Graaf Generator as played by the first Alice Cooper band, then off into some American guitar epic treks, perhaps with a 13/8 moment thrown in for good measure. This album is progressive pop music in a similar manner to that of solo Todd Rundgren or even the Zombies' experimental LP Odyssey & Oracle.'"
