Woah! That’s tremendous.

King of Balearica, Ken Bruce bumped it this morning on Radio 2.
Great record

@Piers It did remind me of this 1990 cover of which I’m less convinced.

I have a Phantasy fm tape from 1990 djs jekyll and Hyde and they play Phil Collins In the air tonight after Dirty Cash Money Talks. That was me catching Balearia :grinning: loved waiting for it to be mixed in…

Is it?

Is there separate a thread for 80s Japanese jazz pop type stuff? I would love to hear more of this kind of thing.

This is the most Jonny Rock record I have ever heard Jonny Rock rock

Ah nice, I can imagine him playing it. It’s also on a Mike Simonetti and Johnny Jewel mix from about 12 years ago.

Recently dug this up out of the cheap bins, on the Horizon Dream comp. Still a lot of value to be had in some of those old Japanese comps, if you have the patience.
