Collecting Japan, pt.2 – City Pop with Jeffery Tetreault

“The track starts, you close your eyes and suddenly you’re transported to neon lit streets with signs in an unfamiliar language, where everything is magical and nothing hurts and like the era this music came from, you want to go back there.”

Freddie Berman is a fan of Far-Eastern music with his experience of City Pop, as described above, among his knowledge of lesser known yet vibrant collecting niches. MAG_BTM asked Berman to investigate collecting within this second genre in our series of interviews with Japanese music collectors and here speaks to Jeffrey Tetreault, collector of City Pop records from the late 70s and mid 80s.
