Woman at 23 Hour - Love In is Kiyoko Itoh’s impossibly rare 1971 album, and it’s hands down one of the best, yet most slept-on, female vocal records to ever come out of Japan. Her hauntingly beautiful love ballads bring to life the feeling of a buzzing, cosmopolitan Tokyo, blending in experimental spoken word and field recordings of city sounds. Kuni Kawachi from the Happenings Four and J.A. Seazer (the guy who did music for Shuji Terayama) add a mesmerizing, psychedelic aura to the whole thing. Plus, Itoh writes a number of the tracks herself, which makes this album even more personal and captivating.(thx Canterel) Sleeve is pretty perfect minus the obi. Record plays nicely with some light crackle. Will go online after a couple days on the wall.
