See pretty bangles shine Silver green and blue and if you haven't seen them shine in the sun, if you haven't heard them Tinke, bell like ringing, Then you've missed all the fun Yeh (oh) Looking at one They shine in the sun, glow in the dark And when the sun goes down Pink and orange hues Then I have rings and things That glow in the dark, Vivid memories that run free Helter…Skelter And I sing songs of love Yeh (oh) Love for a life, That shines in the sun Glows in the dark

about

NuNorthern Soul are present more archived audio from Japanese jazz guitar pioneer, Ryo Kawasaki.

This limited edition cassette contains four tracks taken from demo tapes and live performances dating back forty years.
Ryo tells us, “...actually how I got my hands on these were that at the time we recorded those demos and live recordings of our gigs, Radha sent copy of cassette tapes to her Mom in India, and in 2015 when her Mom passed away she found those cassette tapes in her Mom's possession and made a digital file out of it and sent it to me then I remastered as much as I could, but it was almost 40 years old cassette tape without any noise reduction etc, so it was limited what I could do with them. But Trinkets demo was actually sent to my producers in Japan to get approval of this song to be included in my Mirror Of My Mind album in 1979."
