JAPAN / ADOLESCENT SEX / LP /

(US / HANSA / ARIOLA RECORDS AMERICA / SW-50037 / 1978 / MEDIA:EX- / JACKET:VG++ 底抜け)

グラマラス・パンク！なファースト・アルバム！
デヴィッド・シルヴィアンにとっては”忘れたい過去”らしい、パンキッシュな初期JAPANを象徴するビキビキとしたギター・リフが絡みつく「UNCONVENTIONAL」、PATRIC CATANI「WHATEVER GETS YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT」ネタにもなったタイトル曲「ADOLESCENT SEX」、「TELEVISION」などを収録。バーブラ・ストライサンド「DON’T RAIN ON MY PARADE」カヴァーもやっています。
