FLIPPER'S GUITAR - DOCTOR HEAD'S WORLD TOUR CD (POLYSTAR [PSCR 1024], 1991) [JP]

Flipper's Guitar - Doctor Head's World Tour CD

(Polystar [PSCR 1024], 1991) [JP]

The final album release from Tokyo, Japan's Flipper's Guitar, フリッパーズ・ギター, right before they broke up in 1991. Released on Polystar from 1991. A group that was very much inspired by the British guitar pop scene, that became pretty influential themselves.

MY BLOODY VALENTINE - STRAWBERRY WINE 12" (LAZY RECORDS [LAZY07T], 1987) [IRE]

My Bloody Valentine - Strawberry Wine 12"

(Lazy Records [LAZY07T], 1987) [UK]

My favorite My Bloody Valentine song tends to change all the time, for the longest time it was Never Say Goodbye from this 12" on Lazy Records from 1987. I believe the first release of the band that Bilinda Butcher appeared on, and where their "sound" really comes into its own.
