Kim Jung Mi: Now (KO,1973)
This singer has a beautiful, only slightly breathy voice, with folk-psych and pop-psych group accompaniment. This is considered as her best work. Her voice style is pretty much like English pop-psych. The accompaniment varies a bit, is made for perfection, and is perfectly fitting for a song oriented record. A very beautiful record. It was a bit more difficult to pick out tracks, because they all sound good. The more I listen to the album, the more I like it even better.
"Musical performance by Yupjeons.
Korean psychedelic folk Masterpiece and her best record!!
This record was reissued LP and CD format in 2003,but it is sold out now.
She was made into a psychedelic singer by Shin Joong Hyun.
Her vocal resemble the Grace slick of Jefferson Airplane was erotic that is a very sexy ?
It is a mega rare Korean psychedelic folk or beat rock album.
It also so rare because of Korea's president's "purge measure of Korean pop music"
In 1970th her record was fired by government employees. You'll see her record listed at the Record Collector Dreams book by Hans Pokora"
Shin Joong Hyun & Cambo Band : Sound (vol 1) (KO,1971)
Here the band is accompanying kind of 60's psych-pop songs, sung by female duo.
It is an instrumental with some fine electric guitar and organ improvisation.
Personally the mainstream female 60's pop songs themselves appeal less to me.
I still preferred to take out the one ballad, with vocals by Lee Jung Hwa.
"Guest female singers are Min A, bunny girls, Ju Hyun.
He started his "Shin Joong-Hyun and his Cambo band" summer 1971. He recorded this record with some guest female singers.
These are (the) bunny girls, a female duo : Ju Hyun, Min A, who were famous Korean pop group in the 70's. (At first they had debuted with Shin Joong Hyun).
Musical features of this album are very psychedelic with some unique Koreanized female garage songs.
Especially Side B3 "ju Hyun" (a space trip) is a great sychedelic
female song and has unique guitar melody with echoed sounds.
Side A has two songs by Min A, two songs by bunny girls, one instrument song by Shin Joong hyun and his Cambo band. and Side B has five songs by Ju Hyun.
I think that this record is a great Korean female psychedelic record!!! Highly recommended!
Lee Jung Hwa with Shin Joong Hyun & Donkeys (KO,1969)
Here Shin Joong Hyun & Donkeys were backing band for a basically mainstream song oriented release.
Still, the psych elements are all there (electric guitars, organ,..), especially in some tracks.
The first chosen song ("Petal" possibly means "marijunana") has some orchestration arrangement too. Last 16 minute track is similar and is the complete B-side of the album. Of course here's more room for band improvisation. This means a melodic repetition (drum, electric guitar, bass, organ) with on top a really great electric guitar improvisation on the musical theme (with some wa-wa effects too) by Shin Joong Hyun, followed by a psych organ improvisation (somewhat Iron Butterfly like), a bass solo, and small piece of a rather simple (let's say a garage-like version) of a drum solo. Great!This albums has two versions(First pressing and Second pressing).This is the second pressing. It contain the same songs but with different recordings.
First pressing is more primitive and live gem style but second pressing is more psychedelic pop style of late 1960s.
Shin Joong Hyun & Golden Grapes: Sound vol 2 (KO,1971)
The psych-pop songs are sung by quiet nice female voice.. This is accompanied with backing vocals on first track, and with organ, electric bass, drums, and here and there some electric guitar. Most songs are quite simple pop songs.
"Musical performance by Golden Grapes with Shin Joong Hyun Lead guitar. Guest female singer are Kim Jung Mi,and Ju Hyun, Min A,as the Bunny Girls". Kim Jung Mi debut record! Musical performance of this record by Golden Grapes, the group also debuted with supports of shin Joong Hyun. All Group members were mixed blood and orphan guys.
So Shin Joong Hyun wanted to help them. He often played with them and also he gave to play stages for them, too, and he played at this record with Golden Grapes.
In this record also he worked with some guest female singers. These are Kim Jung Mi, Ju Hyun, Bunny Girls, Min A. All Side A songs by Kim Jung-Mi and four songs are same to Kim Jung Mi second album but one song is a different. Side B songs are three songs by Ju Hyun, one song by Min A and Bunny girls.
Side B songs also included to Shin Joong-Hyun sound vol. 1 album, but the musical performance is different. The reason is that Musical performance of this record is by Golden Grapes, while on Shin Joong-Hyun sound vol. 1 album it was by Shin Joong-Hyun and his Cambo band. All songs are nice Korean psychedelic sounds and you can understand that his great musical composition ability at this album.
