va -- Incense And Peppermints (Graham's X-mas Comp)



The traditional Christmas comp, featuring a few Japanese discoveries (sorry can't read the titles!) such as Enka singer Tetsuya Watari (famous gangster-film actor in the 60's/70's) or the huge Hibari Misora... and of course the master of "Eleki" Surf Rock, Takeshi Terauchi, mocking some Western classical pieces in his comedy-surf style!
I dropped in a short proggy track by L'Eclair, a very new band of talented and hairy Geneva kids... taken from their first LP, "Cruise Control".
Also on this C60, the amazing Soul-Jazz of Young Holt Unlimited (check out the tambourine solo on "Listen Here"!), a couple of cool Joe Meek productions, Turkish singer Gülcan Opel, Egyptian Pop supergroup Al Massrieen, a minute and a half of Bollywood action, the Vandells' Psych-Pop, and more soulful gems...
