RELEASE DESCRIPTION
RELEASE DESCRIPTION
After K Records founder Calvin Johnson found a copy of their official debut from Zero Records ‘Burning Farm’, in a record crate, he would release it in the United States, where it found its way to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. The resulting tour (and some of the greatest moments in rock music history) is now the stuff of legends!
Recorded and released exclusively on cassette in 1982, Minna Tanoshiku Shonen Knife was the first ever release from Shonen Knife. Of the 89 total copies ever manufactured, 50 were made by the band themselves and sold exclusively by hand at live shows. These 50 came with a lip print-adorned imprint, supposedly from the three band members or, from one of their grandmothers, and would become highly collectible, being nearly impossible to find even on the second-hand market.
In the 40 years since, the album has never been reissued in any form – until now! For the first time ever, the debut album from Shonen Knife, Minna Tanoshiku Shonen Knife is being reissued on CD and analog vinyl!
The album features early versions of “Burning Farm”, “Banana Leaf”, “Summertime Boogie”, in stripped-down lo-fi form. Comparisons to the later, official versions are inevitable, but without the sheen of a proper studio or recording setup, the DIY charm of Shonen Knife is on full display! As Naoko, Michie, and Atsuko play through the album’s 13 tracks, their positive energy is infectious. By the end, it’ll be more than clear why Kurt Cobain fell in love with this oddball all-girls punk band from Japan!
Reissued on limited edition vinyl, Shonen Knife’s Minna Tanoshiku (Everybody Happy) is sure to be one of the finest reissues of the year! Complete with an obi-strip, this is one that you’re not gonna want to miss!

I got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.

Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.

Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊

Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.

The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!

Great shop, I can only recommend it.

I finally received it. It came well packaged and secure. The customer assistance was great and helpful with my queries.

honestly i was very happy to have this poster come in, and imma buy a frame for it later. the poster is really beautiful and i love it, there was a slight defect to it, no fault to the company, but the mailing service itself, but it doesnt really bother me at all since it’s barely noticeable, i am just so happy to own it!!

Beautiful packaging and lovely sonic excursions abound from this vinyl. Thank you !̦ Helix.

Excellent album. I had never purchased from this vendor before and I was initially leary (this album is sold out on bandcamp and Materia Collective's site, and I'd never heard of Helix). But the album arrived quickly and was packaged very securely. I wish the "gold swirl" was a touch more apparent but I understand that each record will look different. Wonderful release from Rozen overall.

Great album that been on list for a while,had to grab for this great price! And shipping was pretty fast as well ,will definitely recommend and shop again.🙏🏽
