Aside from Fowl Play, it was my favorite BMB album cover. I'd like to have posters of them!
Only 2190 Yen! They're givin 'em away!
Mike said:I went to Yokohama today and picked up "Fresh Air". It's nicely packaged and to my ear, it sounds great!
Listening to "Wave" now.
All the best,

Mike Blakesley said:Well in this case the masters are owned by Universal Music.
Anyone who wants to license a song or an album has to negotiate with the owner of the masters. The fees can vary wildly -- if the record you want is a classic, it'd cost millions of dollars. A less popular record would be a lot cheaper.
Something like this BMB CD would probably be fairly low on the price scale. The real mystery to me is why they would be reissuing THIS album when there are many other BMB records that were far better sellers back in the day. This could be a trial balloon -- if it sells well, others may follow.
In Japan you never know....maybe one tune has become popular there or something.
