Some words on this issue: LOVE LIVE LIFE + 1: “Love Will Make a Better You” (King Records – 4K-20) (Record: Near Mint/ Gatefold Jacket: Excellent, only has some mildew stains on backside, apart from that Perfect/ 2 Inserts: Mint). TOP copy of this all time psychedelic free improvisation masterpiece, one of the rarest psych artifacts to roll out of Japan. This is the rarest version of this LP the rarely seen 4-Channel Stereo Record version - original release in exquisite gatefold jacket. TOP COPY!!!! Like so many other groups, the formation of this outfit happened rather coincidental and took place in 1971 at the premises of newly found record label King (°1970), that profiled itself as mainly being preoccupied with jazz related activities. One of the central figures circulating at the fringes that scene were the saxophone player Kôsuke Ichihara and flutist Toshiaki Yokota. The sessions took place under the banner of “New Emotional Series” and succeeded in attracting a wide range of illustrious musicians such as Kimio Mizutani, Yanagida Hiro and Chito Kawauchi. Other interested musicians like Takao Naoi and rock star singer Akira Fuse drifted in for the “New Emotional Series” sessions, grouping themselves in the one-time off outfit Love Live Life + One. King released the unit’s album “Love Will Make A Better You” in April 1971, which displayed a consistent, advanced jazz-rock sound in the vein of King Crimson’s “Islands” and Keith Tippet, infused with improvisational interplay, vicious organ riffage and frantic chord changing. To top it all off there is Akira Fuse’s frantic soulful vocal attacks, the free jazzing meets psychedelic blizz interplay and the fuzzed out organ napalm bomb like attacks that spiced it all up. In short, a whirlwind of lysergic dementia and one of the hottest psyched out monster disc to come out of Japan. KILLER all way through, highest ever possible recommendation and bloody rare.
