The Mystery Thickens
The Mystery Kindaichi Band - The Adventures Of Kosuke Kindaichi [WWSLP 31 FRA 2020 24-Bit FLAC] Originally released on King Records (SKA-187) in Japan in 1977. Here's another one of those rare Japanese albums given a fresh lease of life for the modern western listener. The Mystery Kindaichi Band were Hiroshi Takada, Kentaro Haneda & Yutaka Narita, who released this amazing album of unadulterated disco-funk in 1977 as the imaginary soundtrack to a cult Japanese vampire detective comic book series. The album was plundered throughout the eighties by DJs and samplers, however nobody could ever find a copy - you may recognise a few of the stolen samples. I regularly praise the quality of Japanese vinyl pressings, this album is on a French-based record label, pressed by small plant in Great Dunmow, Essex ...and the quality of the pressing is outstanding. Hopefully I've just livened up your dull lockdown Thursday night! A1 金田一耕助のテーマ A2 八つ墓村 A3 仮面舞踏会...
