Powerhouse - Powerhouse (Reissue) (1969/2009)

Initially, the team was referred to as the "Midnight Express Blues Band", but to the release of the first single the band changed its name to "Powerhouse". The very same album was published on April 1, 1969. Despite the absence of their own songs (all things - covers for the songs "The Beatles", "The Yardbirds", Hendrix, etc.) this album is important in the history of Japanese rock. It was the fact that this was the first full-length attempt to present the local listeners with local blues rock (along with the debut album of the band "Blues Creation"). The musical career of this group was started by none other than guitarist Shinki Chen and bassist, "Japanese Eric Clapton", George Yanagi.
