RUMI KOYAMA  7 inch 45 rpm BLUE ANGEL Solid

ltd to 500 / out of print

"KOYAMA RUMI: “Anata Ni Maketa No b/w Mahoutsukai No Anata” (Union Records – US-664-J) (EP Record: Near Mint/ Gatefold Picture Sleeve: Mint). White label promotional copy!!! Bloody rare 7 inch by Koyama Rumi, the unheralded Queen Of Japanese Pops. Original May 10th, 1970 release housed in what is probably the most amazing/ shocking/ hilarious and sexy jacket art ever, being a scarcely clothed Koyama Rumi looking sultry with much skin to show for, set against a B&W picture of Adolf Hitler. Just stylistically insane but what an impact it has! One of the best jackets ever in my book! A classic and so is the funky groovy music on display. Born in August 1st, 1953, Koyama Rumi first made her debut in 1968 as a go-go girl in the movie “Kemeko no Uta”. This was quickly followed up with her again shaking her sexy self to smithereens in the television program “Beat Pops” where she appeared again as a go-go girl alongside Sugimoto Ema, and the Golden Half. That same year she made her debut as a singer with the song “Hajimete no Date” (First Date) which was released by Victor records. After she switching record companies and opting for Teichiku, “Anata ni Maketa No b/w Mahoutsukai No Anata” was her 2nd single release which immediately made an impact through its daring, yet superb choice for the jacket art.　 Although the daring and provocative artwork didn’t directly alluded to it – but nevertheless did not fail to bring her some deserved attention – the music is just outstanding female vocals R&B, brimming over with an addictive soulful “Bad Girl” attitude set against a swirling and ass-kicking backing band. Just killer with absolutely no filler, making this release as one of the true highlights of sleazy but groovy Japanese Bitch pop. And seen against that, the jacket does match the music perfectly, it is right in your face girl power, of a swinging go-go kind injected with furious acidic guitar lines, Detroit horns, hand percussive rattles, swirling key action, all funked up with Koyama Rumi’s soulful vocals. This is a butt-shaker, dance floor burner and party mover. Vintage 1970 go-go girl freakiness of the highest order. 1st original pressing, white label promo and housed in just one of the best ever gatefold picture sleeves. Highest ever recommendation. One thing though, I do not ship to bleeding rectum white supremacist scum, Militant Feminists and other dingbats who might fancy the jacket of this one but fail to see the humor it beholds.  " Tiliqua records / Johan Wellens
