Gu - Marianne /// @[luludia] Before she made her solo debut album "Misora" for URC, Sachiko Kanenobu appeared on several singles on the label as part of a group alongside Isato Nakagawa (Itsutsu no Akai Fusen), Ichizo Seo (producer for Takuro Yoshida, Tetsuo Saito, etc.), and harmonica whiz Koichi Matsuda. After releasing the 1969 URC single "Akuma no Ohanashi", as Himitsu Kessha Marumaru Kyoudan, the quartet changed their name to Gu and released "Marianne", written by Takashi Nishioka of Itsutsu no Akai Fusen. The group's two singles are now considered to be some of the very first acid folk recordings from Japan.
