Early live recordings, and acclaimed as the best live peformance in their career. Friction is one of the first Japanese punk bands and formed by Reck, Chiko Hige and Lapis in Tokyo in March 1978, and now the band is still keeping active. Reck and Chiko Hige had previously been on the NY no wave scene as founding members of James Chance and the Contortions,and brought back the experience and influence to the Japanese music scene. It's no exaggeration to say that the band laid the foundation for alternative music in Japan. P-Vine is proud of reissuing all of their albums on vinyl. <i>79 Live</i> captures Friction's live performance at a venue in Kyoto, called TakuTaku in December 1979, four months before the release of their debut album Friction which is known as a masterpiece of the history of Japanese punk.This live performance has widely been regarded as the best performance in their career and Reck himself referred to it as""it was like a miracle,".
