Let's Go Eleki Bushi - Takeshi Terauchi (1966)

Terauchi and his band, Blue Jeans, combined American surf rock with traditional Japanese music to make something that sounded a lot like both not exactly like either.

These tunes are rip-roaring fun.

As I often say, these sorts of things would never get heard by people outside of Japan or under a certain age if not for the timelessness of internet reissues. We live in remarkable times.
