I started collecting 45s & LPs from February 1972.
At that time I listened to Japanese local hit songs.
After I saw a movie Beatles' HELP! with TV in 1976, I fell into foreign music (This means non-Japanese popular music).
My favorite musicians and producers are
The Beatles, Three Dog Night, Carpenters, Bee Gees, Herb Alpert, Eumir Deodato, Sergio Mendes, Quincy Jones, Creed Taylor
ABBA, The Police, David Foster, Jean-Luc Ponty, Ben Sidran and Tom Jobim (Antonio Carlos Jobim).
Favorite labels are
Apple, A&M, Arista(Bell), Blue Thumb(during 1970s), CTI, Dunhill, Private Stock, RSO and 20th Century(during 1970s).
My English is slightly funny to you, because I am Japanese and Non-native for English speaking.
Thank you for reading.
