    If you are interested in newer releases there are a lot of good Especial stuff, especially Jazztronik and Sleep Walker (if you like that jazz dance sound)

    Juno has loads of japanese 12"s these days courtesy of Nik Weston.

    Matsubara "S.O.S." is a good one

    Not newer stuff really, thanks anyway.

    Crazypop, I didn't know there's a Japanese issue for Matsubara?

    Yeah the songs have the same producer. So he more or less redid his own song.

    This is the best version of London Town IMO:

    London Town

    Nice! Welcome to the board.

    So the first youtube video, the 6 minute version is the LP version??? And the shorter one is the 12"?

    As far as JPN 12"s, you wanna check out a lot of the nu-jazz stuff in Japan, and stuff on the "Shibuya Jazz Classics" label... the toshiki kadomatsu stuff, his album After 5 Clash can be found around the traps...

    I haven't been able to find my list of shit on my hard drive and my memory is shot - but head over to the J-Pop section of a healthy record store and do some listening, there's some cool boogie stuff by J-Pop artists of the 80s. Not 12"s, but you wanna cop the Tatsuro Yamashita LPs for sure... especially Spacy and Circus Town... The live Tatsuro Yamashita version has a bangin version of "Dancer" off Spacy with a nice break on it too..

    peace.
