Notes
Side B of the LP: a narrated choral work on a Japanese press cameraman killed covering the Vietnam War. Side A is Osamu Shimizu's mountain-accident choral suite 山に祈る (narration: Shizue Natsukawa) - not Vietnam-related, no entry. Side B composer, movement titles and which cameraman it memorialises unverified - check jacket on arrival (Side A is words/music/arrangement 清水脩, likely Side B too). Year not printed on label; Polydor MR-3000 series suggests late 1960s-early 1970s. Not on Discogs.
About the artist
Japanese male vocal quartet formed in 1951 in Tokyo by members of Keio University's Wagner Society male choir; one of Japan's most popular and longest-running vocal groups (active 1951-2016), known for Russian folk songs, mountain songs and narrated choral suites. [Source: Wikipedia (Japanese)]
