GG: Original Jacket Collection by Sony(Tokyo)

["Junichi Miyazawa" <walkingtune@bigfoot.com>]

Dear f_minorians:

Let me inform that Sony Classical in Tokyo is to
release "Glenn Gould Original Jacket Collection"(15 titles).
(You may remember that the recent questions of mine are 
for the translation of the project.)

They are collectors' items.
They are CD's, but the cover photos of which are the same as the original LP's'.
On the back side of the jackets, the original Coumbia linernotes are printed 
(some of them are by GG himself; scarcely legible, for they are reduced, though).  
The cover jackets are made of paper.  
(My Japanese translations, seven titles of them are printed on incerted papers.)

They are kinds of miniatures.  The price is 1,835 yen each.
They are only available in Japan, and a limited edition: they are pressed only once.

To be released on October 1, 1997:

1. Bach: Goldberg Variations (rec.1955: ML5060)
   Sony SRCR-1921

15. Brahms: Intermezzi (ML 5637 / MS6237）

You may wonder the way of choicing the titles.  
Though I am involved in the project being a translator, I am not sure, but
I hear some of them are the GG albums of high reputations 
(such as Goldberg, Byrd/Gibbons, Brahms).  
Others are the best selling GG albums in Japan (such as Gambas, Preludes, etc.)

If you care for purchasing any of them, please don't ask me, 
but ask on-line CD shops.

The only Japanese on-line CD shop I know is Beltran:

belmusic@jsn.justnet.or.jp
http://emall.justnet.or.jp/shop/beltran

I got in touch with them and they say they are welcome to receive orders
from abroad, but they are not sure they can provide the GG collection 
to all that want, for the collection is a limited edition.

Regards,

Junichi

P.S. After the signature of mine, please find a mail from Beltran,
which informs you the way to make an order to them.
