SACHIKO KANENOBU-MISORA-72 Japan Folk masterpiece-newLP

SACHIKO KANENOBU, - MISORA new LP REISSUE Misora" (which can be roughly translated as Beautiful Sky), the 1972 debut album by Sachiko Kanenobu, a woman generally acknowledged as Japan's first female singer-songwriter. It's a near-perfect folk masterpiece, alternating full-bodied arrangements (produced by Harry Hosono of Yellow Magic Orchestra and Happy End) with Sachikos lonesome guitar and pure, soaring vocals. Discovered as a precocious 18 year old in Osaka, Sachiko was signed in 1968 to Japans first ever independent record company, URC (Underground Record Club), who changed Japans musical landscape irrevocably in the late 60s and early 70s with artists like Happy End, Folk Crusaders and Kenji Endo. S achiko was the only female artist on this era-defining label and the very fact that she wrote and sang her own songs made her a rarity among Japanese women. Limited reissue of 500 copies, in gatefold cover and with a 4 page insert featuring extensive linernotes, lyrics translated into English by Sachiko herself, and never before seen photos from the singers own archives.
