I doubt many of you are aware of Julian Cope's Krautrocksampler book from a few years back - a detailed and fascinating history of the music produced in Germany in the late 60s and 70s (with a heavy emphasis on "prog" rock). Well, he's now doing the same thing for Japanese music with the Japrocksampler.

Japrocksampler is a larger book than the German one, Japrocksampler is a more detailed look at the Japanese scene, with plenty of background, before focusing on the key artists and collector's favorites.
