Gran Guignol CD “Gran Guignol” + CD ” Live 1981″ + 18 x 18 cm booklet 34 pages
Grand Guignol performed avant-garde performances in a white-faced style reminiscent of dark dance. Based in Fussa, they performed at many live houses, including the legendary live house “Kichijoji Minor,” and were supported by music fans at the time as an artistic band that not only included their music but also their equipment, lighting, flyers, and fashion. However, despite their growing fame, they disbanded in 1981, much to the regret of many.
Grand Guignol’s only LP was recorded in 1981, towards the end of their career, and released by the legendary Pinakotheca label in 1982.
Second CD is the live recording held at Shibuya “Yaneura” on February 13, 1981, just before the band broke up. When they first formed, they repeatedly performed shocking performances with white make-up, but as they performed more than 50 times in total, their taste gradually changed to a pop line. This recording is from their final stage when they were at their most pop, and the finish is a powerful expansion of the characteristics of their only album. It also includes songs that were popular at the live shows at the time but were never recorded in the studio.
