Made me think of O-Ren Ishii from Kill Bill.


It's from a 45 sold in Japan, 1968. I found one for sale if you're interested. It'll set you back fifty thousand yen, or roughly $454.44. Plus shipping.


I'll pass. Was interesting, but I'm not a big fan.


It's a novelty of course, of interest only to collectors, but it's interesting what the price is for the artifact that plays itself in two minutes.

Not that that track is representative but the 8-CD collection it came from is really impressive. You can get that whole box for only a hundred. Lots of unreleased demos unencumbered by obtrusive overproduced horns, etc

This one is so demo you can hear her snifffing a runny nose between lines...The attitude in the voice is captivating though.
