이화자 - Lee Won-Ja (Lee Hwa Za)
This collection of songs performed by "Yihwaja" / Lee Won Ja could work very much on a song evening meeting with a small audience with a performer directing the stories to a small public while a band plays smoothly in the background, with humpapa piano rhythms and accordion moods, and Korean and Western clarinet solos here and there.

김정구 - Kim Jeong-Goo / Kim Junggu / Kim Jungku
I guess this is a reissue of an original old LP (with 12 songs), containing songs that often have folk songs origins, and which show a funny marching song/working song related happy and gay nature, occasionally with also a more melancholic song. In that way the tonal and singing variation in the songs is pretty varied. The arrangements, with strings, brass instruments and more show the best kind of arrangements where in each few seconds other instruments dominate at occasions


V.A.: 유성기로 듣던 가요사 (1925~1945)
This is a collection of early Korean records, some of which shows some unique and some bizarre material. This collection dates from 1925-1933 in correct order of dates. * The first track for instance is like a folk song with triple or so singers singing in some specific style with an ethnic flavour which has similarities to characteristics from somewhere else to compare with, possibly like a certain African village singing for instance. * The next two tracks show piano and vo


강홍식 / 姜 弘 植 - Kang Ho-Sik (Chang Ho-Sik)
The first 9 songs of this compilation show how Kang Ho Sik must have been involved in early song music of the first movies with sound and music. This sounds more adventurous than conservative, of which the music still has the humpapa rhythms of Japanese occupation rules, but the arrangements and songs still show pleasant variations. The first track has a more classical-orchestrated feel to the music arrangements with clarinet, piano, flutes, violin and percussion. The second
