This month marks the launch of Ace\’s new HIQLPACE series of high quality 12-inch albums pressed on 180g vinyl and packaged in heavy duty sleeves.

By popular demand, the series kicks off with “Nippon Girls”, a fascinating celebration of the female side of Japan’s 1960s pop scene. The LP features a dozen highlights from the CD of the same title issued on our Big Beat International imprint a few years back – one of their best sellers.

Compiled and annotated by DJ Sheila Burgel, a former Tokyo resident, the “Nippon Girls” raised a few eyebrows here at Ace at the time, but girl pop maven Sheila knew what she was doing. The collection drew rave reviews across the board, becoming something of a left-field hit among the club crowd and young mod hipster types.

Highly recommended to girl group fanciers, J Pop groovers and anyone else with a keen ear for eclectic sounds, the LP sports a fresh new cover (+ gatefold sleeve) featuring a bikini-clad Jun Mayuzumi designed by graphic artist Niall McCormack, who also created the 23-inch square poster found tucked inside.
