think this is just a one-off...its a super rarity, and I like Hanawa-san so happy to support him, but I think we've reached peak j-jazz....although glad they are reissuing some real TBM rarities...

picked up the latest Craftman release today - the second record on the 'Smile" label - here It really is an enjoyable trio record, a nice listen and a quality product - its a needle drop, they say so on the obi, they also say the original didn't have an obi and this one is made to look like...

wha, wha, wha....im way out of the loop - VMP is dunzo?

and hate to say this because it makes me sound old (ok I'm old).... but it reads like a chatgpt fart and wikipedia research prompt - I have to say it every day at my work, 'play don't publish' and 'use your own voice' - reminds me of that kid that Fremer loves who was like 12 years old writing...

melrose place actually is a separate street - and that's actually what makes it cool that Contemporary was there - its tiny only a few blocks long, now filled with high fashion and high end food/bev - but anyone who's from/knows LA would want to make the distinction as Melrose Ave can take you...

you guys seen this next level nerd shiz on Contemporary Records - personally I think leaving the 'Place' off of melrose is a dead giveaway for someone who's isn't from or familiar with Los Angeles and is unforgivable because Melrose Place is where Contemporary lived, but this guys got some web...

thx...meant the Rouse record....the slugs stuff, probably wouldn't buy again, but the electric side of two is one rulez

let us know...ill take a big number for my minty JP original with sexy green/red obi if this cut is great...

l looks like hanawa-san from Judgement records is involved now....he is OG disk union crew and did most of the Think! records stuff...

Hal's is great, it's his son running it now, but selection can be limited and prices are up, the dude from Seeed in Osaka also a nice guy. ArtRock in Kyoto is good but haven't been in awhile, - HMV Shinjuku just moved to a new location that kinda sucks, also the HMV retail stores are really...

good point...wonder if they sound any different? same KG, same tape...be interesting challenge

question - saw they are doing Hutcherson's Montara as a TP this year - does anyone know if they are recutting this or using the metal from the VMP boxset (that was KG?)? tia

So...picked this up yesterday and will be interested in what the group take is here - now, this is definite unobtanium in its original JP reissues, ive only seen it once in the wild for quite a bit, but these are now over 5000yen locally, let me tell you that is a big number here...but cover...

are these originals or reissues - how do they sound?

exactly. nicely said. I ditched the thing for a feickert and never looked back....best decision for me. for someone else an opportunity to spend $4k on a CNC plinth...and chat about dressing.
