Previously played Squidco store copy, used for cataloging and samples, in excellent condition.

"Maxi CD Single featuring TWO unreleased tracks. Their first recording together in nearly 30 years - Bun Itakura and Mishio Ogawa have produced an amazing cover of the classic Jazz standard 'Stardust'. Itakura's new arrangement is as good as the original but totally different, the way good cover versions are supposed to be. Imagine a trippy, surrealistic version of Les Paul and Mary Ford and you'll get the picture. 8 minutes of pure sonic ecstasy.

B-side track: Mystery Making Factory - Bun Itakura's industrial noise/ambient track performed by original tools/instruments, totally different from everything you ever heard from him. Fresh and amazing new track!"-Ultragash
