Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Another month, another edition of the great monthly 7" series of Konishi Yasuharu's all-time DJ classics! This is the ninth installment of "Readymade mirai no ongaku" (aka "Readymade Oldays"). (Find all details in the first post.)

This time Konishi introduces two less known yet excellent tracks by British bands. A-side Peter & Gordon's "black brown and gold" is from album "Woman", while AA-side Gerry & The Pacemakers' "stranger in the night" came from "Girl On A Swing". Both of those albums were released in 1966.
