COMMENTS
|
Black Odeon label with
silver print. The words "LONG PLAYING" was printed at the bottom of the label. "95 Million Popular Requests" was a radio program broadcasting a hit parade throughout Japan. This program began broadcasting in April 1963, and is hosted by Masao Kojima. With "Nippon Cultural Broadcasting Inc." in Tokyo as a key station, it has a network of 34 private broadcasters from Hokkaido to Okinawa, for a total of 111 stations. This record contains two songs "Help! / Yesterday (side-1)" and "You're Going To Lose That Girl (Side-2)" performanced by The Beatles. Red vinyl: Besides good sound and quality printing, Japanese records also offered some other things of interest to the collector. One of the primary manufacturing companies in Japan, Toshiba, pressed a lot of their records on red, “Everclean” vinyl from 1958 through 1974 (maybe). While not pressed as collectors’ items, these red vinyl pressings are more sought out by collectors than their black vinyl counterparts. The Everclean vinyl was designed to be less prone to collecting static electricity and dust than the more common black vinyl. The obi: "Light blue" Obi It is light blue / white in design with light blue background with the half circle on top. It also features an Odeon logo, catalogue number and price information. While most Japanese records feature local music, a lot of music fans there like foreign music, as well. The language barrier in Japan presented a problem – should foreign album covers be changed for Japanese albums? The solution was the obi, which means “belt” or “sash”. The obi is a strip of paper, usually about two inches wide, that wraps vertically around the album cover, containing information about the artist and album in Japanese. As these strips of paper were fragile and easily torn, they are often missing, especially since consumers in the 1950s and 1960s attached little significance to them. Finding Japanese records made prior to 1970 that still have the obi intact can be quite difficult, and for some albums, nearly impossible. The inclusion of the obi can dramatically affect the price of some Japanese records, sometimes increasing the price by a factor of ten. |
