JAPAN
Tin Drum
1981 Canada pressing
While I was at my local shop this morning, a gentleman came in to sell about 30 of his records.
I ended up buying ALMOST all of them.
Along with the No New York compilation I posted earlier, it was all made up of #obscure #nowave , #punk , #postpunk , #newwave , #synthpop , and #experimental #artrock from the late #70s and early #80s .
This was one that I was very excited about. I’ve never owned a CLEAN original Tin Drum on vinyl before, and I’m SIKED.
I’m a big fan of Japan (and of David Sylvian) in general, and Tim Drum was the first album by Japan I ever heard.
I was so mystified by it, that I instantly set off on finding others, which lead me to working backwards towards Adolescent Sex, Obscure Alternatives, Quiet Life and Gentlemen Take Polaroids.
“Ghosts” is an incredible tune. It still gives me goosebumps.

@TheVinylApe@cupoftea.social I love Ghosts, too, and Cantonese Boy. It’s a great album by a really cool band, underrated I think.
