New LP with Bob Sakuma music!

Hi all,

Independent Italian record label Tava Tava Rare has been releasing small batches of animated and live-action Japanese television soundtrack LPs for a little while. The most recent in their TV Original BGM Collection series is called Yukuzo! (meaning "Go!" In Japanese).

It features the work of Bob Sakuma (with one track by Hoyt Curtin) and his compositions for three Tatsunoko television series - Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, Space Knight Tekkaman and Gowapper 5 Godam.

There are 7 tracks from Gatchaman and Battle of the Planets on Side A, including:
1 M-1 - Stable, Lifting Wings [1:10]
2 M-14 - Zero Angle [1:38]
3 M-18 - Into Dark Depths [0:35]
4 M-16 - The Hidden Devil [0:24]
5 M-27 - Pursuit / BP-100 (edited) [1:29]
6 M-34 - Surrender to Fate [1:16]
7 M-15 - International Science Organization [0:38]

The rest of side A, tracks 8 through 15, feature music from Tekkaman. Side B has 5 more from Tekkaman and ends with a selection of 10 tracks from Godam.

Two versions of the LP are available - the first with standard black vinyl, and the second, which is more limited, with red vinyl. The red vinyl edition also includes a two-sided art print signed by cover artist, Ali Riccardo. Each version of the album includes a side "obi" strip with information and quotes from Bob Sakuma in English.

This sounds pretty cool.

I bet postage will make the total price a little much - and I'd be unsure how well vinyl survives international post.

I checked out of curiosity. Shipping to America for a single LP is ā‚¬18,00 for priority and ā‚¬30,00 for tracked. Yours might be a little less, but that's an idea at least. As far as it surviving through the post... If they're in the business of shipping LPs, then hopefully they'll know how to do it right! ;-)

Let me know if you try for one. They have a video on YouTube that runs through the whole LP playlist if you're curious about the rest of the content.
