Kim Sang Hee


Once again, there is not much printed on the jacket that I can understand. Curiously the artist's name is featured in English. The record was released by Oasis Records, Seoul, Korea (OL 1151)

I did find a few returns when I did a search for Hee, including a video on YouTube. Hee may also have made a "Jefferson Airplane" styled "psych" album. This album is sort of a soft "light pop" album, but serves up a few nice quirky moments.

  1. Love the fuzz guitar opening, it reminds me of a 1960's Japanese hero movie soundtrack.

  2. Very nice. The artist's name in English on the cover is, most likely, due to the US occupation of S. Korea. There's lot's of English speaking people there. Great song, sexy cover.
