Ruriko Ohgami – Typhoon Lady
Ruriko Ohgami – Typhoon Lady
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing.1977 Japanese lady-soul standout — Ruriko Ohgami’s boogie-leaning city-pop debut on Atlantic (cat. L-10090A); tight Kansai session crew, crisp drums, and selector-friendly intros.
Cut in late August 1977 in Osaka/Tokyo and issued as Ohgami’s first solo LP, Typhoon Lady pairs her husky, gospel-touched vocal with a locked-in rhythm team: Chu Nagamoto (bass), Masakazu Doi (drums), Shinji Shiotsugi & Tatsuya Funaoka (guitars), and Teruyuki Kokubu (keys). Chorus by Apples and horn parts by the Horn Spectrum unit add lift. Side B’s “Sexy Woman” is the deep-groove digger favorite; “Fuwari Fuwafuwa” floats at mid-tempo; the title cut “Typhoon Lady” and “Play That Shuffle” bring boogie/AOR energy with clean count-ins—easy drops for selectors.

We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
