Title: Instrumental Hits (Japan Release)
Post by: silodweller on December 04, 2013, 11:22:27 PM
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could give me any info regarding the release of this particular compilation, date, etc.  Was it an official release?  I'm clueless about this one.  It is good though.

Released in 1994 on CD, it certainly looks and sounds like an official release.

There's also a vinyl version:

Looks like a lot of "Stack o Tracks" with early instrumentals thrown in. Just guessing.

I got a copy of it in 95. It's pretty much all the instrumental works that were on a albums. The liner notes are in Japanese.  I like it. I often play it from time to time.

There was a sixties Japanese comp of the same title. I have my doubts concerning the absolute legality of this release.  :)

The legality of thie one above, or the original 60's issue? 

Here's the 1965 issue on Ebay ( asking price $599 ! )
