Aolescent Sex was the first full-length release from New Romantic band Japan. It was a very different album from their later material, such as Quiet Life & Tin Drum. It never got much press in Britain or the U.S. but sold very well in Asia, where it reached No 20 in Japan, and in the Netherlands where the single Adolescent Sex was a Top 30 hit. It was first released in 1977, and was re-released as a digipak CD in 2004.
