Part of a new Universal Japan 70s rock reissue series, called Naked Line. Legit issues, from masters, midline pricing. Legendary Japanese underground rock item, first released by Polydor Japan in 1970. Has been reissued a couple times before, including on P-vine. Social Gathering is the lone album by the quartet of Shinki Chen (pre-Speed, Glue & Shinki), Luis Kabe (ex-Golden Cups), Hiro Yanagida (ex-April Fool, pre-Love Live Life +1) & Hiro Tsunoda (ex-Jacks, pre-Strawberry Path). Musically they were an instrumental quartet led by the guitar histrionics of Shinki Chen and the organ swoosh of Hiro Yanagida, gusting forth with a sub-bass low-ball thunder. Progressive-psych jamming with a similar enthusiasm for the attributes of "heavy" as their contemporaries, Guru Guru. There also some free-form excursions and unexpected insanity at the end. People's expectations are always a bit out of whack on this kind of stuff, but this is a very nice period piece and a powerful document. "The drugs must have been pumping fast and furious. This is a heavy over the top psychedelic extravaganza." --Ken Golden, The Laser's Edge.
