That's awesome! Some of the mistranslations are funny. How do they sound? Most of their catalog pressings sound great besides some compilations and the 2010 Journeys to Glory reissue

Both sound great! I did already have both so I still prefer my originals cause they're just a little more crackly, but that's me being silly. I also grabbed a few singles, but none of those had anything japanese on them. One was I'll Fly for You with a poster sleeve in great shape!

Yes, these English - Japanese - English mistranslations can be funny. It happened on a delightful and underrated American sitcom called Newsradio, here's the link if you want to see it:
