Possibly one of the rarest things in my collection, this is my rip of "No Sweat", which was the first and only album by the catchy hard rock Japanese band Rat Bat Blue. Although I suppose it was re-released twice, you'd think that there was a bit of popularity for the guys. But finding copies of this album are VERY hard to come by. I lucked out and got my copy for about a 1-buck USD, which was a copy from the first pressing. The sound of the album is very unique for its time as it takes influence from fun, melodious semi-pop influenced 80's hard rock (or as Japanese audiences call it, HR/HM) like Blizard and Ladies Room. Totally a breath of fresh air in my opinion, and it sucks that this was Rat Bat Blue's only release before disbanding a year later. Also, one of the members of the group, bassist Hirofumi (博文), totally looks like a kid I went to high school with, which kind of adds a bit of creepiness on a personal level. Still doesn't detract from its awesomeness though, thankfully lol.
