Reiko, Ike – “You, Baby” – [Bamboo]

Sexy Japanese pop from the ’60s-’70s, sung/spoken/breathed by Reiko, who starred in a series of sex-packed action movies full of chases, fights, ripped blouses, and erotic interludes. The music is slow-ish pop with touches of jazz and exotica; horns, guitars, vibes, sax… perfect for the ’60s bachelor pad. Practically every track features Ms. Reiko gasping and moaning with pleasure, and one track (Love Slave) even has spanking/whipping sounds that are answered with… moans of pleasure, of course. Deranged laughing on B5, and a cool soprano sax solo on B6. Many of the songs have a weird extraneous sound that I can’t identify; it sounds like a dog whining at the back door, but I’m sure that’s not the case. No matter–this record will provide a sexy good time for all.
