Escape
Escape (clear vinyl 7")
Cat: SG 071. Rel: 21 Sep 21
Escape (4:01)
Gotta Believe (4:32)
Review: Now one of Japan's longest-serving funk and soul combos, QASB has an enviable track record. In November they're due to release their fifth studio album, Candy Dream, which if this teaser single is anything to go by should be another essential set. 'Escape', which lands on a clear vinyl 45, is as sweet as they come, with A.yu'mi's bi-lingual Japanese and English vocals rising above a sweet and crunchy backing track that sits somewhere between Dayton's early '80s jazz-funk classic 'The Sound of Music' (which they audibly reference at numerous points) and breezy classic soul. B-side bonus cut 'Gotta Believe', which isn't featured on the album, is a gloriously Clavinet-heavy affair that once again features plenty of nods to vintage jazz-funk.

You're My Music
Cat: SG 028. Rel: 15 Apr 15
You're My Music (4:20)
Jennifer (instrumental) (3:44)
Review: Fans of QASB, Tokyo's foremost classic funk act, are in for a treat this week with two 7" hunks of high octane brass and drums business from the band issued through their regular home Soul Garden. By know you know QASB worship at the altar of prime '70s funk and what makes the band so special is the clear mastery of their art and the way their cuts are so damn danceable. Lead singer Amy A is key to horn heavy A Side "You're the Music" which has some killer breaks whilst the flipside instrumental cut sees her take a break to let the players lay down some heat.

Fly
Fly (7")
Cat: SG 029. Rel: 15 Apr 15
Fly (3:51)
Jaguar (instrumental) (3:23)
Review: Amy A and her QASB cohorts come through with the second of two Soul Garden 7"s that really reaffirm their status as Tokyo's foremost exponents of the funk. QASB may be well schooled in the art of '70s funk but the lead cut here, "Fly", has a markedly more contemporary edge to it, and features some of Amy A's most powerful singing yet! As with most 45s from the band, the flip sees QASB flexing their instrumental muscles to the max on "Jaguar" a swift three minute exercise in how to rule on the horns!

Will
Will (7" + insert)
Cat: SG 078. Rel: 20 Feb 24
Will (4:12)
Will (English) (4:12)
Review: Q.A.S.B. is a Japanese funk and soul ensemble with a.yu.mi. handling lead vocals, a singer celebrated for her funky style reminiscent of James Brown but captured here in a more romantic and subdued mood here. 'Will' is a new single on Soul Garden that offers up soulful and pop-leading sounds with elegant vocals and graceful grooves backed by big band horns. Interestingly, the same tune gets served up again on the flipside, only sung in English. It neither improves nor detracts from the original but proves to be an interesting experiment for that reason.

The Mexican (reissue)
Cat: SG 012. Rel: 21 Jan 22
The Mexican (part 1) (5:14)
The Mexican (part 2) (5:28)
Review: Cover versions don't come much sweeter (or respectful) than this epic two part homage to the Babe Ruth classic. Part 1 sees the Japanese funk band laying down the foundations, paying deference to the original with their own upbeat twist. Part 2, however, is where they really let loose with each instrumentalist taking lead on the solos. With Hammond-hammering and screaming horns galore, QASB have delivered something very special here.
