Got excited when I saw the title of the thread but slightly less impressed when I saw the list in that "it's all been had before". Nevertheless it's a good chance for collectors to catch up on some of these. I do like Japanese releases generally, and they often come up with some previously unavailable on [[single) CDs but it's probably unlikely I'll buy any of the ones in that list.

I just wish that these Japanese CDs would be available from a U S A source. I have never bought one, although I considered it, because the shipping cost is normally 3 or 4 times the cost of the actual CD. That makes it unaffordable because the ones I was interested in were ones that I already had produced by Motown and I merely wanted to see how they sound in comparison.

Woodward, do you still have contact with Record Runner in NYC? They’re still a great domestic source for Japanese imports:

These are on listed as coming soon on Dustygroove.com

I saw "The Originals" name on the above list and immediately thought, "Thank you, Sweet Jesus! At long last -- "Naturally Together", "Definitions," "Games People Play", or "Communique" -- all of which never saw a CD release. And then my eyes saw the disappointing "Down To Love Town", which was already released on CD years ago.

My thoughts exactly PMG.

These are shown on Amazon UK now with a release date of Friday 15 July 2022 and pre-order price of £19.80.

Sisters Love I Could Never Make a Better Man Than You and Give Me Your Love [[which might pass as a Barry White production lol)
