Blending funk, boogie and soulful grooves, Penny brought a distinctive energy to Japan’s music scene during the decade. Compiled by Nick Luscombe—who previously curated Tokyo Dreaming for the label—the set marks the first time Hitomi’s music has been compiled outside of Japan. Featuring newly remastered tracks and liner notes by Nick Luscombe, the release offers fresh context to Penny’s work and its role in the evolution of Japanese funk and groove culture.
