Lost Chap Roz recording found in Japan!

I was traveling in Japan this week, and you'll never guess what I uncovered in Book Off - a used book/music/video shop in Akihabra!

I was digging through a box of 200¥ LaserDiscs (about $2 U.S.) and I came across a very cool looking cover with Godzilla on it. I was initially disappointed when I realized it was a vinyl record and not some rare Japanese LaserDisc, until I noticed the title of the record.

It's the Blue Oyster Cult song Godzilla covered by Chap Roz! I had never seen an actual Chap Roz 12" single before this one - there's no documentation of it anywhere in the Chap Roz fan community that I've been able to find.

I immediately picked it up (for 105¥!!!) and guarded it carefully all the way back to the hotel in Chiba. Damn the hot, humid weather of Tokyo - as it's warped and I'm not quite sure if it will be playable by the time I get home. Even if not, I have no regrets for picking up this ultimate rarity that's bound to appeal to Chap Roz and Godzilla fans around the globe!
