三上寛* - このレコードを盗め - 18-Mar-08 05:49 AM
One of the two famously criminal records that Mikami recorded for Toshiba in the early 80s. At the fag-end of his professional career, he took to re-recording some of his best songs, stripping out their emotional truths and substituting sickly sentimentality, and the clunkiest of saccharine arrangements.
Of the extra material, the tracks by Reiko Yukawa are dreadful synth pop outings with a horrifying mismatch between Kan's voice and the instrumental backing, and the material from the 'Noriko wa ima' just oozes false sentimentality. In comparison, the re-recording of 'Daikanjo' with Hitoshi Kumuro & Yosui Inoue stands up *just* slightly better. But still, this is very much the nadir of Mikami's recorded output.
