V/A - Oi! Of Japan 1985

Leaving Europe heading east and we stop in the Land of the Rising Sun and check this nice Compilation from AA Records which showcases goodies from the Japanese Oi!/Streetpunk scene, and that was/is not small. Praised for its classic sound, which combines "chunky beats with sing-along chants and some wackiness". Reviewers describe it as a fun and crazed collection with a range of styles. It captures the essence of the British Oi! scene from its heyday, featuring classic raw songs. It has a "fun and crazed" atmosphere, blending traditional Oi! anthems with some unique Japanese flair. A diverse of cool bands, showcasing the range of talent in the Japanese Oi! scene at the time and is significant release, bringing a variety of bands to a wider audience and is still considered a quality record, particularly for its authenticity, unfortunately without the inner sleeve. Enjoy!
