V.A. - E35, Let's Sing J-Pop In English (2008)



In upcoming posts will be featured (and briefly reviewed) many albums originally requested and fulfilled into the "Request & Fill Corner" section, but not available anymore.


Let's start with the beautiful Japan-only 3CD compilation "E35, Let's Sing J-Pop In English".
As the title indicates, these are covers of Japanese Rock&Pop hits performed (all in English language) by well known AOR / Westcoast stars.
All these songs were recorded between 1991 / 1994, only appeared in Asian V.A. albums as the 'Love Stories' series, "Goody's" and many other rarities.
Some tracks are boring (particularly the ones sung by a few unknown vocalists), that's normal in huge compilations.

But who cares when you have awesome songs never published outside Japan and performed by such luminaries as Jason Scheff, Tommy Funderburk, Joseph Williams, Peter Beckett, Bobby Kimball, Jay Graydon and many more.
Remarkable is the inclusion of one of the few songs officially published/recorded as lead vocalist by the late Warren Wiebe, a gifted singer that never got the chance to release his own solo album.

"E35: Let's Sing J-Pop In English", compiled by the specialized Japanese label Avex fetch exorbitant prices, as all imports.
Do not miss this unique opportunity...

  2. I take it this is the exact same stuff you posted back in December '09 in the Req & Fill corner?
    So unless you worked your magic again making it sound much better than before, I can dispense with downloading it a second time.
    PS: Maybe you can look into a few of my requests that haven't been filled yet, the ones I mentioned in the comments section of the Lisa Price EP elsewhere on the main blog?

  3. @ troynew:
    Yes, it is the same, but previous links are gone and many people are lookin' for this collection. This is a 320 CDrip so the quality it's untouched.
    I have not forgotten your requests my friend (Battlecry, Myron Kline, etc). All are in the queue.

  4. There is another existing E35 compilation simply titled E35 -II. The difference is the background (and the songs too). Its now red instead of white.

    Do you happen to have this album too?
