SHUG-A-LUGGING – Power Pop (…made me find out there’s so much room to move) Vol. 4 – 7” singles

You probably know about my obsession with Power Pop. From the word Go! - The Beatles’ “It Won’t Be Long” – I was infected. And the game just wouldn’t stop – on and on and on it went with Power Pop bands galore cropping up. Some are here. Ask me where the best Power Pop comes from these days, and I’d say South-Korea and Japan. It’s about time a Japanese Girl Power Pop selection is presented on this blog. Just wait, it’s a promise.
