Product Description
Amazon Review Based on "doo-wop," a vocal style that was established in America from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s, Tatsuro Yamashita's a cappella album "ON THE STREET CORNER 1," which he created by multi-tracking alone, has been newly released as a digitally remastered version with bonus tracks. From songs that Tatsuro Yamashita recorded as a hobby to numbers familiar from his live performances, to the romantic ballad of Jo Stafford <1> which was revived as a hit in the doo-wop style by the vocal group Dupries, and the Clovers cover <9> with its soothing sacred chorus, many famous songs from the 1950s and 1960s are vividly revived with warm vocals. (Takako Takemura) Other Media Reviews This is a re-release of the album that made Tatsuro Yamashita synonymous with a cappella. However, as it is labeled as the '86 version, it seems that most of the main vocals have been re-recorded. The fact that it's a cover of a doo-wop classic is typical of Yamashita. This masterpiece has finally returned. -- (From the "CD Journal" database)
