5 omaeha heart breaker
6 kikiaki
7 secret track
Up until now the partnership that has been forged between Studio Mule and Johnny’s
Disk Record has produced a slew of superb Japanese jazz reissues. However, for the
latest edition the Mule Musiq offshoot have opted to re-press an LP that is something
of an anomaly in the JDR catalogue. Atsuma Mo Samusam, a super-duper-rare 1984 record
from King Kong Paradise, has just as much reggae, Balearia and new-wave in it as it
does the jazz-fusion of King Kong Paradise's other albums. Think Second Circle and
Beats In Space.

This album is a unique mixture of modern classical sound and avant-garde jazz which

STUDIOMULE 020 FUMIO ITABASI TRIO : RISE AND SHINE-LIVE AT TH AKETA'S LP 05.2019
Studio Mule present their third reissue of Fumio Itabashi with Rise And Shine: Live
At The Aketa's, originally released in 1977. Rise And Shine Live At The Aketa's was
his second release of 1977, and it was recorded at legendary Jazz Club in Tokyo. This
album was actually recorded before his first release Toh. "Jumping Board" on side A is
a Japanese hard bop classic. Itabashi's cover version of "My Funny Valentine" is very
sweet and elegant while the main track, "Rise And Shine", is one of his best work.
At times the album is reminiscent of Pharaoh Sanders if he played piano. Limited
initial press.

STUDIOMULE 026 NINA ATSUKO PLAY ROOM LP 11.2019
A reissue of Japanese singer-songwriter Nina Atsuko's debut album, Play Room,
originally released in 1983. This album is one of the most-wanted Japanese city pop
albums, but it's quite hard to find the original vinyl. Nina covered her favorite
bossa nova, Latin, and American pops tunes in Japanese with the sound of '80s urban
jazz fusion. All tracks match the big Japanese city pop revival trend perfectly.
