Let’s Panic Later 74 e 75: Vanity Records

Per le puntate 74 e 75 Let’s Panic Later accende i riflettori su una piccola e oscura ma in un certo senso leggendaria etichetta giapponese, attiva verso la fine degli anni Settanta e nei primi anni Ottanta. La Vanity Records fu fondata a Osaka da Yuzuru Agi, ai tempi direttore della rivista musicale Rock Magazine, e aveva come tema principale la scena underground elettronica e sperimentale del Giappone. Dalla nascita al 1982 la Vanity pubblicò 11 LP, alcuni singoli e flexi discs e 6 cassette. Tutte le pubblicazioni erano in edizioni limitate di circa 300-400 copie (in alcuni casi anche meno) e sono oggi solo reperibili sul mercato dell’usato a prezzi molto elevati. Un paio d’anni fa l’intero catalogo della Vanity è stato ristampato sia su vinile che su cd. Nonostante le dimensioni e la vita breve, Vanity ha messo sul suo catalogo alcune gemme come gli album dei progetti R.N.A. Organism, BGM, Tolerance e Sympathy Nervous. In aggiunta alle uscite dei progetti giapponesi la Vanity stampò ai tempi anche alcuni flexi discs di artisti europei come Brian Eno, Holger Czukay, Krupps, Gilbert & Lewis e altri. Nelle due puntate (74 + 75) dedicate all’etichetta abbiamo deciso di concentrarci sull’output degli artisti “di casa”.
