The next best thing to taking a trip to Japan myself is
having friends who frequent the country, especially when it comes to finding
hard-to-get items like out of print J-pop CDs which ain't easy to come across here
in the USA. As you know I have a newfound interest in 80’s singer Yoko Oginome
and was thrilled when my friend, on a recent trip to Osaka, managed to
locate one of Yoko’s out of print albums, her awesome KNOCK ON MY DOOR. Not only
was he able to get it, he found a FIRST EDITION copy, complete with deluxe
slipcase and photobooklet!!
Released in 1990, Knock on My Door continues in the Rocking tradition I
fell in love with from her album NUDIST, man, all of these songs are so
freaking good, and it blows my mind to realize she still has a TON of albums
out there that I haven’t heard! Who knows which of these as-yet-undiscovered
releases will be future faves!
