The Mops - Rock 'n' Roll (Japan 1970).

The Mops are one of Japan’s best know “group sounds” bands, particularly noted for their psychedelic period. The group was founded in 1966 by high school friends Mikiharu Suzuki (drums), Taro Miyuki (guitar), Masaru Hoshi (lead guitar) and Kaoru Murakami (bass), playing mostly instrumental rock ala the fabulously popular Ventures. Suzuki’s older brother Hiromitsu joined in later and became the group’s main vocalist, sharing the job with Hoshi.

Mikiharu Suzuki (drums), Taro Miyuki (guitar), Masaru Hoshi (guitar, vocals), Kaoru Murakami (bass), Hiromitsu Suzuki (vocals), Miyuki (bass).

Banda formada no Japão na metade da década de 60 que inicialmente seguiam um estilo Beat até que, aconselhados pelo seu empresário, mudaram o seu som para um estilo mais Psicadélico, quase roçando o mais vigoroso Hard de bandas como Grand Funk Railroad.
