I love Tower Records in Tokyo.
Always new treasures there you can't seem to find anywhere else. Stopped in while I was in Tokyo for biz this week and picked up Soulive "Live at the Blue Note Tokyo", the New Mastersounds "Ten Years On" and....
The Funky Meters "Live in Japan: Shibuya-ax, Tokyo, July 23, 2009" on Hoy Hoy Records. Looks to be a CD-R from a download, though.
The Hoy Hoy Records website is almost all in Japanese kanji but I see a reference to new releases for the Funky Meters and New Birth Brass Band (?).
Anybody heard of these guys before? Trying to figure out if I could ethically burn some copies for friends in the US.
Thanks!
