Chris Bowen and Victor Rodriguez - Bears in Space

This a mix of some of my favorite tracks from 5 of the 6 Asakawa Maki albums I have. The latest one was released in 1980, so basically everything is from the 70s. This was an all vinyl mix. All releases are on EMI Express. Album titles are as follows.

マキの世界 “Maki no Sekai” (The World of Maki) – 1970
Live – 1972
Blue Spirit Blues – 1972
裏窓 “UraMado” (Back Window) – 1973
One – 1980
