Junko Ohashi & Minoya Central Station -- Feel So Fine

 

I've technically done my three for Thursday. However, I'm being drawn away from duty tomorrow so I'm getting a start on my usual Friday Urban Contemporary stuff today. The NHL Trade Deadline Day has a way of distracting me...even from my beloved City Pop (you can take me away from Canada, but you can't take away Canada from me).🏒

So, why not go with one of the best? I have a number of Junko Ohashi's（大橋純子）albums with Minoya Central Station（美乃家セントラル・ステイション）, but I don't think "Full House" from June 1979 is one of them...perhaps. Anyways, there is a real banger from Side A, "Feel So Fine" that's struck my fancy.

All I can say is that bass addicts will be slurping this one up repeatedly as we get to hear the late great Ms. Ohashi in her most wonderful disco glory. It really does feel so fine. Written by Machiko Ryu（竜真知子）and composed by Kenjiro Oda（小田健二郎）, the song practically bewitches the listener to vicariously hit the ground running in Roppongi or Shinjuku in search of any dance club of the time such as the Lexington Queen (although it wouldn't open until 1980). By the way, the remix version below is by YouTuber Sukebe (heh heh heh).😁
