The limited-edition 2010 release ""kocorono Kanzenban"" is being issued on LP for the first time. Formed in Sapporo, Hokkaido, in 1986, Bloodthirsty Butchers are a truly unique rock band, with a sonic presence and atmosphere unlike anything found either in Japan or overseas. Even now, 13 years after the band's activities came to a halt, their influence shows no sign of fading. Their fourth full-length album, ""kocorono, "" was originally released on October 23, 1996, and is regarded as a historic masterpiece.
