Let’s explore a special single release from the legendary Okinawan hard rock band Murasaki. This is their 1978 12-inch single, “Starship Rock’n Rollers,” released on Bourbon Records with the catalog number BMC-6501.
This 45 RPM 12-inch vinyl, issued in May 1978, features two songs: the title track “Starship Rock’n Rollers” on the A-side, and “Another Lonely Day (Ooo Baby Baby)” on the B-side.
What makes this release particularly significant for collectors is that both tracks were not included on their original studio albums, making them exclusive to this single.
It captures the band, led by George Murasaki, during their influential initial run, delivering their signature brand of powerful, keyboard-driven 70s hard rock. BMC-6501 stands as a highly desirable item for fans, offering rare, non-album tracks from one of Japan’s most pioneering hard rock bands.
