Cover Of The Day:

"Yellow Submarine", #2 Pop, 9/17/1966

Wonderfully odd cover by Japanese min-yo and enka singer Akiko Kanazawa, released as a single in 1982. (She did a couple of truly bizarre albums in the early 90's, "House Mix", I and II, combining Japanese folk melodies with modern club and house beats.)

Wonder what Macca made of those....?
