Some words on this issue: Asakawa Maki: “Asakawa Maki no Sekai” (Express – ETP-7767 - 1970) This was Maki’s first album out of 1970. Original copy with obi and insert. Dark clad, nicotine stained and black sugarless coffee drenched female vocals against an avant-jazz backing, excellent for those late night booze drenched evenings. Getting quite scarce and difficult to locate for a decent price. Rare in this condition which is all complete and immaculate. Just a top notch copy that hardly resurfaces these days. Here, Maki sings songs written by Terayama Shuji of Tenjosajiki fame. One of her best records ever.
