Nippon Guitars: Instrumental Surf, Eleki & Tsugaru Rock 1966-1974

The set was collated by Honest Jon's Records' resident Japan-ist, Howard Williams, the man behind the Killing Melody Japanese gangster soundtrack compilation and the Japonica blog and club night.

A must-have item for collectors of guitar 'n' beats from around the world or anyone with a curiosity for vintage Oriental popular music, the collection features a wealth of traditional Japanese folk melodies and 60s J-pop given an electric guitar battering.

Available on CD and shorter limited edition vinyl LP!
