Emy Jackson (1966 Japan) Taiwan pressing. Still waiting to find a CBS pressing, but this one’s still a collector’s item, and it sounds decent too

NOTES ABOUT THE RECORD LABEL: Apparently Large World releases were legal copies. According to notes in Discogs, “At the time they were legal pressings, not intended for export. The releases are mostly copies from US or Japanese releases, often with altered colors, and include a wide array of styles.”

Also, from Billboard (1970) - “Pressed in Taiwan to cash in on the 35,000 or so GI’s that were stationed there between the 1950s and 1970s. The albums were usually pressed in batches of about 500, with no two batches looking or sounding the same (ie different covers, vinyl colours). Covers were usually recycled, meaning art for a totally different album was on the reverse side of the paper (covers were thin paper wrapped in cellophane).” by @sgvinylarchive

The liner notes on this 1963 comp describe it best…

“This album features Japan’s top recording artists and on this record, you’ll hear their swinging, distinctive versions of big ‘Top 40’ hits from the U.S. - all sung in Japanese, recorded in Japan, and already big hits with fans on the islands across the Pacific.”
