every time I see someone else is having a go at a City Pop compilation I cross my fingers that someone has finally managed to include this

That Casiopea is right up my strasse! Even the reissue seems to be fetching silly money.
Some bloody brilliant selections folks. Keep em coming 
This guy’s album is absolutely atrocious, but nestled in amongst the cheese is this absolute bomb.

Hoping this gets a reissue one day.
It did get a reissue in 2013 but you need about £300 to pick it up.
