Originally released in 1981 on Jeep Records and reissued here for the first time, Chance Operation’s debut 12” EP stands as a bold statement from Japan’s avant-garde underground. This seminal recording, now available on Spittle Records, captures the raw energy and visionary spirit of a group that defied genre boundaries and predicted the sonic upheavals of the decade to come.

Chance Operation emerged from Tokyo’s fertile experimental scene, channeling the restless creativity of the late 70s and early 80s into a sound that was both unmistakably Japanese and universally radical. Their music—a volatile mix of angular guitar, frenetic rhythms, and confrontational vocals—served as a loud and clear No Wave manifesto, challenging listeners to rethink the conventions of punk, jazz, and art rock.

This reissue not only preserves the original recording’s incendiary power but also reintroduces it to a new generation of listeners eager for music that refuses to compromise. Featuring remastered audio and original artwork, this release is a must-have for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in the roots of global underground music.
