Some words on this issue: V.A./ NI HON NO DENSHIONGAKU - JAPANESE ELECTRONIC MUSIC: "S/T"(Victor – VX-52) Bloody rare Japanese electronic and musique concrete recording!!!! This issue is the REAL THING and very first. Recorded in the NHK studio (established in 1954, 4 months before the German Cologne Studio) it documents never before or elsewhere released sonic experiments by oncoming mavericks such as Takemitsu Toru, Mayuzumi Toshiro, Maki Ishii and Ichiyanagi Toshi. The compositions here on display date respectively from 1956 & 1967 (Mayuzumi), 1958 (Takemitsu), 1964 (Yuasa), 1966 (Ichiyanagi) and 1965 (Ishii). All tracks were recorded and conceived in the legendary NHK studios. This disc contains one of the best electronic music pieces to my ears. Just splendid stuff, only that these babies are hideously rare. This one here is also a top copy, near mint condition. Highest recommendation. Original 1968 press with gatefold textured jacket and obi just never turns up…..VERY RARE!!!! TOP COPY!!! Impossible to find better.

Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
