Let’s explore an early 12-inch single from the pioneering Okinawan hard rock band, Murasaki. This is their 1976 release, “Free,” issued on Bourbon Records with the catalog number BMA-6001.
Released on October 1, 1976 – the same year as their landmark debut album – this 12-inch, 45 RPM single offered fans a high-fidelity taste of their powerful sound. The single features two tracks:
A: Free
B: Do What You Want
The track “Do What You Want” was also featured on their self-titled debut LP, while this single format presented it with superior audio quality. The A-side, “Free,” provides another potent example of Murasaki’s signature style: a powerful blend of 70s hard rock heavily influenced by bands like Deep Purple, defined by the virtuosic keyboard work of leader George Murasaki, heavy twin guitars, and soaring English-language vocals.
BMA-6001 stands as an essential early release for fans and collectors, capturing the classic sound of Japan’s Okinawan rock legends.
