Nippon Girls - Japanese Pop, Beat & Bossa Nova 1967-69

Ace Records

Yellow Coloured Vinyl

A fascinating celebration of the female side of Japan's 1960s pop scene compiled and annotated by DJ Sheila Burgel, a former Tokyo resident. The Nippon girls cd raised a few eyebrows at ace at the time, but girl pop maven Sheila knew what she was doing. The collection drew rave reviews across the board, becoming something of a left-field hit among the club crowd and young mod hipster types. Highly recommended to girl group fanciers, J-pop groovers and anyone else with a keen ear for eclectic sounds.
