  Tue. 9/2/08 7:05pm Jeff M:

nice man, digging this Les Paul yumminess
  Tue. 9/2/08 7:21pm Sean Daily:

Were these Japanese albums originally released in Japan or the U.S.? Cos I could see these being released here, if only for their novelty value.
  Tue. 9/2/08 7:27pm Joe:

Yes, these are all from Japan--the labels say so!
  Tue. 9/2/08 7:29pm Sean Daily:

Well, wherever and whenever they were released, they're pretty tight. Gotta add 'em to my long music shopping list.

This "Teichiku" song title: "Tan-kou-bushi," "(Mitsui) Coal Mine Song." Popular drinking tune, from Kita-Kyushu. Something about two people... causing the tree to shake. The modest moon pretends not to see them. Great stuff.
  Tue. 9/2/08 7:34pm Sean Daily:

"Causing the tree to shake"? DAMN but they're gettin' into it.
  Wed. 9/3/08 7:36am Mark:

The MIsora Hibari Song is called "Kappa Boogie Woogie". 'Kappa' is a kind of Fairy or Spirit originated from Japanese Tradition.

By the way, do you have some Korean recordings? it will be nice to hear them here.
