SWING JOURNAL JAZZ WORKSHOP: 4 "2 TO 10 / SAXOPHONE ADVENTURE" (PHILIPS, 1970)

If someone would have asked me whether this LP is available at Inconstant Sol I would have answered with a firm "yes".
But I was wrong.  How come I had this 'false memory' I don't know but now I'm almost 100% sure that I got this rip from Nick already five years ago....

VARIOUS "AFRICA KARA AFRICA / GENBAKU SHOUKEI = アフリカからアフリカへ / 原爆小景" (HEm, 1974)

Here is some info by our donator mvns about this LP: "...It's part 10 of 11 educational LPs meant to accompany an elementary school-level music textbook. Side A contains a sidelong track composed by Masahiko Satoh that depicts a journey through the history of jazz. It features a lot of J-jazz heavyweights. Side B is an unsettling choral work by the renowned Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus about the nuclear bomb."
