Truth is the twelfth studio album by Japanese Jazz fusion band T-Square, who was then known as The Square. It was released on April 1, 1987.[1]
Following the success and Japan Gold Disc Award win of their previous album, S.P.O.R.T.S., The Square released this album, which marks the debut of their newest bassist, Mitsuru Sutoh. The title track is remembered in Japan as the main theme to Fuji TV's Formula One broadcasts from 1987 to 1998.[2]
This is also the first album of the band to release in the United States and Canada under the Sony sublabel, Portrait Records, and in the United Kingdom under Epic Records. As a result of another band in the U.S. naming themselves The Square or The Squares or something similar, this album was released with the group referred to as T-Square-- complete with their now-familiar logo of a red square with a capital T in front of it.
