Various Artists – Wamono A to Z Vol. I: Japanese Funk & Rare Groove 1968–1980 (Vinyl LP, Wamono/180g, 2020) – Mint/ Sealed

A compilation of late-60s to early-80s Japanese funk and rare groove, built on tight rhythm sections, sharp horn arrangements and deep, dance-leaning production. The tracks move between raw club-focused cuts and smoother, more melodic grooves with a distinctive Japanese studio feel. It’s a focused, richly curated set drawing from a vibrant and often overlooked scene.
