V/A - Vanity Music Double LP (Vanity 0010/0011) 1981


First up...

The double LP compilation on Vanity titled 'Music'. Some of the music on this compilation also appeared on various cassettes released by Vanity. Depending on feedback & interest, these cassettes may show up here.

The music on this compilation leans on the contemporary German industrial/electronic sounds of the early 80's. I have no additional knowledge of the artists on this release aside from appearances on other Vanity releases. These may or may not consist of artists who released records under other names on the label.

Another good example of this snapshot of music in Japan is the compilation titled 'Foam' which will also be on this site in the near future.

Enjoy
Part 2

I would be very, very appreciative of anything on the Vanity label, as well as whatever other excellent obscurities you heartily recommend.

Thank you very much for all of your work and effort into posting. Lots of us appreciate it extremely.
