Discover the latest release from EXHUME EXHUME, a reissue project expertly overseen by FLATT THE LAIDBACK!
Originally self-produced and released in the mid-70s by members of the Knights, a light music club at Kitakyushu City University, "Knights Company" was a 2-disc set (LP + EP) sold in very limited quantities. This rarity, almost unknown even among connoisseurs, boasts high musicality, blending a black soul influence reminiscent of JAMES BROWN with a bluesy, melodic West Coast sound and AOR feel.
Decades later, its charm remains undiminished, shining brilliantly as ever. This miraculous masterpiece, born from the youthful dedication of northern Kyushu’s sharpest minds, has been reborn as a compilation album with high-quality remastering by 8ronix (Bullpen lab.) and an imaginative design by osagodard (browse depart/luminous body).
"Our miracle began with a single word from the late Otaki: 'Why don't you make an original and put it on an LP?' At first, we wondered if it was even possible. But gradually, our vision became clear. Over six months, we created our own music, wrote and arranged songs, practiced, recorded late into the night, and even pressed a vinyl record. The help from friends beyond our band members was unforgettable. I still can't believe we achieved something so extraordinary. Thanks to a special encounter, this LP has been revived for the first time in 47 years. This is our second miracle."
— Yoshio Nojiri (Gt.Vo.)
