With Volume 11 of the World Library we receive a rich sampling of traditonal music from Japan, its near islands, Taiwan and Korea. Side 1 is devoted to Japanese music, with fishermen and geisha songs, instrumental pieces, etc… and side 2 has music from the Ryukyus Island, Formosa (Taiwan) and Korea. Most of the examples on the records represent very old musical traditons but some pieces show more westernized versions. As usual, i strongly recommend to read the liner notes shown below for information on each track.

wicked! thanks a bunch, best blog ever…
Yes I am very thankful for all the goodies I have found here. It is much appreciated that you take the time to supply all the liner notes to the tracks and I know what a lot of work that goes into that, of editing and picking the right photos, waiting for the right light etc. Thank you!
Hello!
i am not able to read the liner notes because the jpgs get totally blurred when i try to magnify them to readable size.What to do?
Thanks for posting anyway of course!
