Bread and Butter
Remember My Love
Fun House (Japan) 1986
23FB-2051 (Mini-LP)
sleeve : EX-(some small and light dirts.)
media : EX+/EX+(some slightly noise.)
Featured in the first edition of the guidebook obscure sound, alongside their superb album Mahae, this is a 1986 mini-album by Bread & Butter, the soft rock/folk duo of brothers Koya and Fuyumi Iwasawa, who had already been turning out one fine record after another since the 1970s. Among pop fans, this one is best known for A1, a song gifted to them by Stevie Wonder, with whom they had been connected since the ’70s, as well as B3, a Japanese-language cover of one of Stevie’s massive hits. But from our point of view, the real standout is A2 — a beautifully danceable number elevated by superb synthesizer programming from Shintaro Ito and Kiyozumi Ishikawa, who also handled the arrangements, plus the razor-sharp guitar work of Makoto Matsushita, known for his excellent albums with AB’s, Paradigm Shift, and under his own name.
A1: Remember My Love
A2: Do Da Day
