“A4 size full color 112 page book. Released on April 10, 2020. Even though it's a Japanese rock and folk disc guide from the 70's, it doesn't include Happy End!? Except for the masterpieces that have been well-received in numerous books and on the internet, we will introduce the masterpieces of folk, new rock, prog, folk rock, etc. that did not receive much spotlight at the time! From classic domestic new rock masterpieces to hidden masterpieces that can be obtained at a cheap price at second-hand record stores, and even unknown independent records that can't be found on the internet in this day and age! More than 450 pieces are posted, mainly works that have not been introduced elsewhere! Full-color jacket copies of all published works and reviews of 400 characters each! An interview with Yuji Ishimaru, vocalist of the rock band LOVE, who is known for appearing in One Step Festival, and other columns are also posted! A4 size full color 112 pages! The problem product of the record disc guide, born here! ! ! Co-authored and co-published with the up-and-coming indie label "Record Eye"!” - Branco.
After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.
This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).
Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.
Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.
Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).
So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
