Description
“Nippon Girls” is a celebration of the female side of Japan’s 1960s pop scene. The LP comprises a dozen highlights from the album of the same title issued on Big Beat International logo a couple of years back. Compiled by DJ Sheila Burgel, a former Tokyo resident, the “Nippon Girls” album raised a few eyebrows at Ace HQ, but girl-pop maven Sheila knew what she was doing. The collection drew rave reviews, becoming something of a left-field hit with the club crowd and young hipster types.
