SACHIKO KANENOBU

Speaking of records, one of my "holy grails" of vinyl recently popped up on Ebay for a mere 599 dollars...



An original issue of Sachiko Kanenobu's 1972 album "MISORA".

Kanenobu is a tragically undiscovered Japanese folk singer who released this amazing album in 1972 and then retreated into family life, leaving behind momentum on a promising music career.

"MISORA" is a beautiful, beautiful album that drew comparisons to Joni Mitchell and sonically fits right in with the American folk-rock of that era. I discovered her music about three or four years ago, right before a summer trip to Japan and instantly fell in love with it.

I wish I had 600 dollars laying around to spend on this!



And look how cute she was!

It's a reissue, but it's also much cheaper!
