Does anyone know if the mighty Chickenshack ever put anything out on Laserdisc? For those who are unfamiliar with this group, they provided the soundtrack to one of the greatest anime films ever created that you've possibly never heard of. The simply divine, Urban Square.

I found a rather ropey live recording that looks like a VHS source on AlphabetPipe.



The video appears to be called 'Live at Nissin Power Station'. And while it's inevitably great and everything, it's alas only a live performance of their track 'Still At Temps', which is the second part which follows perhaps their most famous track, and the title song to the brilliant Urban Square, 'At Temps'.

This is the track in question:



And this is the same track used in the opening sequence to one of the greatest anime of all-time you've possibly never heard of, Urban Square:



So if anyone knows anything about any live Chickenshack Laserdiscs or VHS tapes, heck even Betamax of V2000 cassettes, I'm interested!

I've heard of it, I blew it big time a few years ago when someone was selling Urban Square on ebay from Japan for 5 bucks plus shipping.

I think I was moving or something, so it goes.

I got the Laserdisc and the OST vinyl and video store retail poster a few years ago, thankfully. They're being buried with me. :angel:

I watch it every year on November 28th to celebrate it's sheer Majesty of being released that day in 1986. The store date is on the poster I bought.

Before seeing this post I dug chickenshack after seeing a Toshiba promo on Youtube. That multi-cultural Japan-American ' 80s connection hooked me and the music is dirty, don't want to play it in company, )unless it's a girl that wants to have sex (unlikely) so I ordered Chickenshack I off an Aus seller on discogs to start the journey. But because of this thread, now I want that anime. ffffuck..
