Some reviews
Mark Russell has been given the opportunity to pre-listen to the Shin Joong Hyun releases Light In The Attic Records has been working on: Shin Joong-hyun Like You’ve Never Heard Him. The Beautiful Rivers And Mountains: The Psychedelic Rock Sound Of South Korea’s Shin Joong Hyun 1958-74 2LP will be out tomorrow, September 6, with a CD release following on September 27 whereas the digital only From Where To Where: Digital EP 1970-79 will be out on September 25. Shing Joong Hyun is often called the grandfather of Korean rock and these are likely the most interesting re-releases to come out anywhere this year. Must-listens for anyone with an interest in Korean rock history!
With the release of the 4th Mint Paper compilation around the corner, refresh_daemon has had a listen to the third and one part of the first preceding it:
