More finds from the shed.

David Thomas and The Wooden Birds "Monster Walks The Winter Lake"  Twin Tone Records 1985

Polkaholics EP no title  Utility Grade Records 1983 (this was the Toronto based post-punk band not to be confused with the Polkaholics polka trio band from Chicago)

Robert Fripp "The League of Gentlemen"  EG-Polygram Canada 1981

Various Artist "Welcome to Dreamland-Another Japan" Celluloid Records 1985

"Welcome to Dreamland" was to Japanese indie music what "No New York" was to the NY indie scene of 7 years earlier.  The record proved there was a vibrant indie and experimental music scene flourishing in Japan.  Few people outside Japan knew.  Fred Frith produced the record.  When I bought the record, I had no idea that a decade later I would meet one of the artists who performed on the record in Osaka (while working and living there) and became good friends.
