Not The Flower But The Root [Limited Release]

[Machine Translation] [BRUNSWICK FAVORITE COLLECTION THE SOUND OF CHICAGO SOUL] Brunswick Records is releasing original and edited albums from the entire catalog of Chicago soul's prestigious "Brunswick Records" over a three-year period. This is the first time that the Brunswick label's appeal has been explored in Japan. The project is supported by Mr. Michihiko Takahashi. Born in Italy, Michihiko Takahashi is unique in that he began his career while living in South Africa. Sergio Franchi, a singer and actor who left 20 albums, is her brother, and Dana had already released singles for Columbia, Liberty, abc, and other labels. Here, the sweet and sour Chicago sound produced by Carl Davis is a perfect match for her honest and earnest voice. Have You Seen Him," "Oh Boy," and "Higher & Higher" also have a pop finish. World's first CD release. Includes 10 songs in total. English lyrics and new commentary included.

Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).
