After discovering how positively awesome the Pony Canyon UHQCD re-releases of J-pop Idol Yukiko Okada's albums Cinderella and Fairy were, I knew that I'd have to get the remaining three CDs in the reissue catalog, and just today, my copies of Jyuugatsu No Ningyo, Venus Tanjyou and Present came in!
Like Cinderella and Fairy before, these have beautiful packaging, with glossy, sturdy sleeves, complete LP recreations and of course those dazzling gatefold centers!
Jyuugatsu No Nongyo CD and gatefold
Venus Tanjyou CD and Gatefold
Present Back and Front and Gatefold
PS: Present seems to be a collection of both Okurimono I and Okurimono II songs, which were all of Yukiko's songs not appearing on her regular albums. Some of her singles ere included as bonuses on the album re-releases and the rest of them appear here, including two songs, Hana No Image and Secret Symphony, the A and B sides of her last posthumous single which I'm hearing for the very first time!!!
This was truly a worthwhile purchase and I intend to spent the weekend listening to all of them from beginning to end!
