I will be DJing a set of original 6T's Japanese Group Sounds vinyl records at Psychotonic Thursday August 27 2009 at the BigFoot Lodge 3172 Los Feliz Blvd LA CA at 10pm.

The set will include Classic GS and Hitomi GS such as Jun Mayzumi, The Tigers, The Spiders, Blue Comets, The Bunnies and The Dynamites.

Come on out for a pint and lets talk all things Nihon! Hope to see you there!

I just can't enough of Jun Mayuzumi! Not only is she extremely beautiful but this woman knows how to sing and nearly every one of her Capital Records Japan releases is just mindblowing! Not only that she has super sexy legs! I have about 30 Group Sounds, mod and Soul 45rpm coming from japan later this month, and I was quite happy to get finally get a copy of the song below.

I'm in heaven!

On a recent trip from Japan my friend from work was kind enough to bring back this Group Sound CD for me. Luckily the CD that he brought back was one of the biggest Japanese bands of the genre, The Tigers. This CD is a nice comp of all their a-side singles that were released on Japan Polydor from the mid-sixties to when they reformed in the 1980's.

There are some great tracks here worth picking up on vinyl such as My Mary, Seaside Bound and C-C-C, with some I've already manage to located and purchase. For some the CD might be a bit heavy on the sentimental ballads that the Japanese are so good at recording, and since I love those types of songs Its not a problem with me.

The Tigers are one of the seminal GS groups and considering you get all the A-side singles this is a great entry level pick up for the GS sound.
