LOVIN MIGHTY FIRE: NIPPON FUNK, SOUL, DISCO 1973-1983 (2X12 LP)
Coloured 2x12 Inch LP
02.03.17
the first official collection of japanese soul, funk and disco in the west. lp version is a double, pressed on 180g vinyl in heavy duty gatefold jacket.
talk of japanese soul often refers to enka, the sentimental ballad emanating from downhome bars and karaoke boxes. from the late 1960s, however, reverberations from across the pacific would lead to the nation’s own take on soul music as we know it in the west. some of the artists showcased on this compilation may not have been commercially successful but their legacy stands the test of time.
