"5-1=0" is really the Tempters’ soft-rock masterpiece, a world-class 60’s Pop album worthy of the Hollies and the Bee Gees from the same late sixties period... A pretty underated Japanese G.S. band that is generally bypassed for the more obvious, Golden Cups, Carnabeats, Spiders, Beavers and Mops who are more Beat and Psych oriented, which fuzzier sounds are favored by today’s Garage Rock and Freakbeat fans. However the Tempters’ second opus stands as a consistent LP thru and thru, with one classic original song after a worthy cover in Japanese both sides up; while the official reissue on P-vine is still easy to get, this has been issued also on CD in the early 00’s by Chronicle... 60’s fan of Soft-rock and Baroque pop are advised to check it out 😀📀🎶#thetempters #japanesegroupsounds #sixtiesjapanesegaragepsychsampler #sixtiesjapanesegaragepsych #sixtiesjapanesegroups https://www.instagram.com/p/B8jnfpgoLXz/?igshid=53x5mqryji7x
