2LP version. Make Up is the 1973 double album by Flower Travellin' Band, the last record of their original run. It sets studio songs next to longer live pieces, with the band's raw stage sound very much in view.
The line-up is Joe Yamanaka on vocals and percussion, Hideki Ishima on guitars, Jun Kozuki on bass and Joji Wada on drums. Nobuyuki Shinohara guests on keyboards, and Yuya Uchida, who co-produced, on vocals. Sides one and two hold six songs, from All The Days through the title track to Broken Strings. Hiroshima takes up all of side three. Side four carries Blue Suede Shoes, Satori Pt. 2 and After The Concert.
Warner Music Japan 2024 limited reissue on black vinyl, cut from the 2017 96/24 remaster. Gatefold tip-on jacket with obi and a two-sided printed insert.
