Had a fantastic trip to Japan in October where I hooked up with my good buddy Doyle and spent a mad 10 days travelling round Tokyo,Sendai and Mount Fuji. Flew home with a huge bag of vinyl and some amazing memories. Thanks to the following who made it a trip of a lifetime :
Bongo Hito ; El Goog ; Wara Katsu ; Taro Nombei  ; Hiroshi Tanno ; Yumiko ; Yusuke Ogawa of Universounds ;
and the mighty Sadao Watanabe !!!

First time out in blogland for this one I picked up at J&B Records in Sendai ...a Japan meets U.S. big band banger.Check out "Sunroad Travellers"....sizzling!
