Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Originally a trio started by the owners of popular folk kissa The Dylan in Osaka, The Dylan II became a duo of Masaji Otsuka and Yo Nagai when Kyozo Nishioka left to pursue a solo career. As fitting for a band named after the bard from Minnesota, their debut single was a cover of I Shall Be Released, with original Japanese lyrics by Otsuka and the new title, ??????????? (Otokorashiitte Wakaru Kai), which roughly translates to Do You Know What It's Like To Be A Man. Their rock-leaning debut album on URC alternated between The Band-like grooves and The Byrds-esque jangle, and earned them the reputation of being the Happy End of the west.
