a fascinating celebration of the female side of Japan’s 1960s pop scene.

The LP features a dozen highlights from the CD of the same title issued on our Big Beat International imprint a few years back. Compiled & annotated by DJ Sheila Burgel, a former Tokyo resident, the 'Nippon Girls' collection drew rave reviews across the board, becoming something of a left-field hit among the club crowd & young mod hipster types. Highly recommended to girl group fanciers, J Pop groovers & anyone else with a keen ear for eclectic sounds, the LP sports a fresh new cover (+ gatefold sleeve) featuring a bikini-clad Jun Mayuzumi designed by graphic artist Niall McCormack, who also created the 23-inch square poster found tucked inside.
