CIBO MATTO - PRETTY SUPER RELAX (7", JAPAN) DATE: SUMMER.1996 LABEL: Bad News Records CAT. #: BNCM7 / JPREP-6 A. Sugar Water Remix B. Águas de Março NOTES: VIEW: Black vinyl 7" single in picture sleeve with die-cut white paper inner-sleeve. The full title could be "Pretty Super Relax 96 Summer Pleasure 7 Inch Single" as this is stated on the front and rear sleeve as well as both labels. Both tracks feature Russell Simins and appear on Viva! La Woman (CD, JP),  Cibo Matto - Super Relax EP and Selections From Super Relax (PROMO 12", US). Although only the 'Bad News Records' catalogue number of 'BNCM7' appears on the run-out groove engraving it should be noted that the rear sleeve does not feature this number. Instead the numbers  'JPREP-6' and 'R-B660362' (with the 'Jasrac' logo) both of which could potentially be the catalogue number of this record. 'JPREP-6' corrisponds to the 1996 Japanese release of Viva! La Woman as this has the catalogue number 'JPR-6'. The A-Side is a rendition of the Brazilian classic Águas de Março (Waters of March) which was originally recorded for the AIDS Benefit album: Red Hot + Latin: Silencio = Muerte. The B-Side is the Russell Simins Remix which was also issued in the UK on Sugar Water (PROMO 12", UK). Lyrics for both of these songs along with the English translation of Águas de Março can be found in the lyrics section.
