The Tigers 1968-1971 - Blue Disc -

[Machine Translation] Two discs released at the same time containing rare sound recordings by The Tigers, a GS band! The Tigers, a group that boasted great popularity and ability in Osaka performing Rolling Stones numbers, moved to Tokyo and made their debut in February 1967 with "Boku no Marie". The group then had many hits, including "Mona Lisa's Smile" and "Kimi Dake Dake Ai" (Love for You Alone), and rose to stardom with their eye-catching looks, reigning as the kings of the group sound genre (GS) while at the same time honing their musical orientation and technique, which was their original goal, mainly through live performances. This blue disc contains the latter period of their career. Two titles are included, including valuable live recordings from that period. This album is an introduction to the musicality of The Tigers. Supervision by the original member and leader of the Tigers, Minoru Hitomi! Live sound sources will be included for the first time on CD.

GSの雄、ザ・タイガースのレア音源入り入門編、2枚同時リリース! 大阪でローリング・ストーンズのナンバーなどを演奏し高い人気と実力を誇ったグループが上京、1967年2月に『僕のマリー』でデビューを果たした。その後『モナリザの微笑』、『君だけに愛を』など数多くのヒット曲を放ち、目を引くルックスを武器にスターダムを駆け上がった彼らはグループサウンズ(GS)の王者として君臨する一方、ライブ活動を中心に彼らの本来目指すところの音楽志向/テクニックを磨いていた。今作は＜音楽の深化を見せる＞後期を収録した青盤。当時の貴重なライブ音源も含めた2タイトルを編成。ザ・タイガースの音楽性を知る入門編となるアルバム。タイガースのオリジナルメンバーでリーダーの瞳みのる氏による監修が実現! 初CD化ライブ音源も収録予定。
