[Thomas HENRY]

The last song you mention, "China night" (Shina no yoru), was a big success
during the Korean War, I posted an article about this song on my blog, if
you're interested :

> I have acquired my first Japanese 78s. There are 4 10" sides, 1 Victor
> and 3 Columbias in (I assume) original paper sleeves (except the Victor
> which is also in a Columbia sleeve).
>
> Sleeves are in English so I assume these were distributed in the US. The
> labels have titles in English, the rest is in Japanese. Label says Made
> by Nippon Columbia Kawasaka Japan
>
> Matrix info is numbers, letters and Japanese characters
>
> Col A339 - Tokyo Boogie Woogie/My dear little box
>
> Col A 820 - Buttons and Bows/Sentimental Journeys
>
> Col A 93 - Hill (?) of Pure Heart/China Night
> There is a small sheet of paper with what I assume are the words in
> Japanese. I haven't listened yet, now I think they are not Japanese
> artists, just pressed for the Japanese market.
>
> Victor V-40256 (similar to circle label) Japanese only labels
>
> Can anyone shed some light on what I have?

> Thanks,
