 Various Artists ‎- Vanity Box (Vanity Records) [REMODEL 05 JPN 2019 24-Bit]

Vanity Records in Osaka was one of the important imprints from the early Japanese underground music scene of the late-70's. This label was founded by Yuzuru Agi, the music critic/editor of ROCK MAGAZINE. Agi was a sort of alternative visionary with a superb talent to assess new musical modes at a time when blues and West Coast-style rock still dominated the local music scene. He was also responsible for coining the Japlish term "techno-pop" - which he used to describe Eno-produced bands like Talking Heads and DEVO - that later became internationally known via Yellow Magic Orchestra. Inspired by punk and the flood of indie labels that swept New York and London, Agi started Vanity Records in 1978, releasing 11 LPs, 3 singles, 12 flexis, and 6 cassettes between '78 and '82 (each release limited to 300-500 copies).

This is the CD boxset of these releases from Kyou Records, a vinyl set is expected in 2021 from Vinyl On Demand Records.
