Takahashi Chikuzan – Tsugaru Shamisen
Takahashi Chikuzan – Tsugaru Shamisen
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing.
1973 Crown original of Chikuzan’s Tsugaru Shamisen, the classic solo set everyone cites.
This is the core Chikuzan LP that overseas buyers look for when they want “real Tsugaru shamisen,” not pop/folk crossover. Side A is mostly performance pieces (Jonkara variants, Minyo-based tracks) and side B goes deeper into regional songs, so you can market it both as a traditional Japanese album and as a sample source for plucked, percussive string. Point out that it is the 1973 Japan Crown original SW-5037, because there are later reissues and “ketteiban” versions.

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.
