Minna Tanoshiku

Minna Tanoshiku, or Everybody's Happy, was the Japanese band Shonen Knife's first release ever made (but not official). It was only released in audiocassette format and not even 100 copies were sent out.

The band had released the first 50 copies of the album including the band members on the lip prints inside, and 20 more copies had been released by Zero Records without the lip inserts, until the band requested for further releases to stop.

This is considered an absolutely rare and legendary album by many Shonen Knife fans since no reissues have been made ever since, as well as containing certain unreleased tracks including "Saboten" and "Planet X".

This album featured the very first versions of certain songs that would have then been released on later albums including Burning Farm, Yama no Attchan and Pretty Little Baka Guy.

Release date: 15th August 1982 (?)
