Other Products ｜Wamono Disco: Nippon Columbia Disco & Boogie Hits 1978-1982 (180g) Vinyl LP

"In the mid-seventies, discotheques were booming in Tokyo and all over Japan. When the Fatback Band climbed the 1975 US and UK charts with their infectious '(Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop' hit, Japanese label Victor put out the following year the first Japan made Disco tune with 'Sexy Bus Stop', released under the mysterious name Dr. Dragon & Oriental Express, a pseudonym for successful Japanese pop composer Kyohei Tsutsumi. 'Sexy Bus Stop' became an instant hit in the country and, taking this opportunity, various Japanese record companies started releasing Disco music. From 1976 until the early 1980s the music was often recorded by skilled studio musicians, rather than by computer input, providing a really solid sound to the dancefloor. Disco music was also spreading into TV series, commercials and anime. From Godiego’s monster hit 'The Birth Of The Odyssey - Monkey Magic' to Pink Parachute’s obscure (and excellent!) 'Disco Great Tokyo' tune, this selection explores some of the finest Disco and Boogie music released on the legendary Nippon Columbia label in the late seventies and early eighties. Are you ready? Put your dance shoes on, and enjoy!" - 180G
