Description

Ryukyu Rare Groove Revisited shines a light on the vibrant pop music of Okinawa’s golden age. Spanning 1957–1978, these rare recordings blend Western rock, soul, and tropical grooves with Okinawa’s distinctive traditional scales, creating a hybrid sound that is both familiar and wholly unique.

Curated from the acclaimed Ryukyu Rare Groove (2003) and Ryukyu Rare Groove 2 (2006) releases, this updated edition features carefully chosen highlights plus newly added tracks, pressed to vinyl with authentic Japanese-style obi strip. The compilation includes music from pioneering artists like Shokichi Kina (father of Okinawan folk rock), the legendary Yara Families, and Mitsuko Sawamura, who bridged Okinawan traditions with American musical films.

A must-have for fans of Asian rare groove, world pop, and crate-digging discoveries.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Are these releases officially licensed?

Absolutely! All the music from our distribution partners comes with official licensing. Royalty from each your purchase on our website goes directly to the right owners, because we support the artists and their hard work. And we stand firmly against bootlegging and counterfeiting.

Do you ship to my location?

We ship worldwide. Available shipping methods are determined by your destination country. To check all available shipping methods, transit times, and prices, please proceed to checkout. You can see this information before payment.

What is a "pre-orders"?

When a product is labeled as "Pre-Order," it indicates that the item is currently in production and will be shipped at a later date. You can always find the estimated shipping timelines in the product description, just below the "Preorder" button. Keep in mind that some records may have limited Pre-Order availability and could sell out before they officially arrive in stock.

If your order contains both in-stock and pre-order items, we will ship complete order within the Estimated Shipping Date window noted on the product page.(In other words, you ave to wait for a pre-order to release before we ship out your order.)

When will I be charged for a pre-order?

We charge your payment method at the time you place the order, even if the item is a pre-order that ships at a later date. This upfront charge secures your reservation for the product. (Don’t worry – if you decide to cancel the pre-order before it ships, we will issue a full refund to your original payment method.)

Why there only "estimated shipping date"?

We usually receiving "estimated shipping date" from various suppliers and labels, because sometimes there is delays which beyond our or our partners control. We strive to keep these estimated dates as current as possible, but please remember that they are always approximations and not guaranteed delivery timelines.

Can I return a vinyl record if I don’t like it?

We got you covered in this one! If you’re not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, provided it’s in its original condition.
