Album artwork for Nippon Girls: Japanese Pop, Beat and Bossa Nova 1967-69 by Various

A fascinating celebration of the female side of Japan's 1960s pop scene compiled and annotated by DJ Sheila Burgel, a former Tokyo resident. The Nippon girls cd raised a few eyebrows at ace at the time, but girl pop maven Sheila knew what she was doing. The collection drew rave reviews across the board, becoming something of a left-field hit among the club crowd and young mod hipster types. Highly recommended to girl group fanciers, J-pop groovers and anyone else with a keen ear for eclectic sounds.

Gatefold sleeve designed by graphic artist Niall McCormack, who also created the 23-inch square poster found tucked inside.
