Available from Light in the Attic Records when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

A compilation of rare and unique songs that blend rock and soul grooves with pop songs sung in the traditional scales of Okinawa, a southern island of Japan. This compilation is based on the 2003 release in Japan that created quite a buzz, "Ryukyu Rare Groove," and its 2006 sequel, "Ryukyu Rare Groove 2." This updated edition features carefully selected tracks from the original releases, along with new songs. It includes 14 tropical groove tracks from notable artists such as the iconic Yara Fami
