Angel/Tokyo,Japan 2.15.1977

Good news for fans who have been waiting for a release for several years!!! A very rare recording is being released! The artist is “Angel”! Yes, the fateful band that was featured in the front pages and feature articles of every rock magazine at the time is here with their two-day Budokan performance!!! They were discovered by Gene Simmons, the leader of the hellish army, and started their tour with a lot of fanfare! It seemed like their Japanese tour would be as successful as KISS, but the promoter’s financial situation worsened, and the tour was interrupted. This is the release of Angel’s last two performances in Japan. If Udo, Kyodo, or Watanabe Productions had invited them, there’s no doubt that Angel would have been a big hit. I listened to “Invitation to Butoh”. I was moved. Disc 1/ Part One; 01. Prelude Theme From Ben Hur 02. Introduction / The voice from heaven 03. Tower 04. She’s A Mover 05.
