<div dir="ltr">Kevin,<br><br>You might want to try contacting Pil Ho Kim, who gave a really interesting presentation at the last AAS on South Korean pop music and nationalism. He played tracks of obscure recordings going back several decades. I bet he would have some good leads. He's at UW-Madison.<br>

Greetings all.<br>
<br>
I am trying to locate a somewhat hard to find CD. I wonder if folks here with better search chops have any leads (any sources on hard to find Korean CDs and records are welcome).<br>
<br>
This CD is by Yoon Bok-hui, perhaps more well known as a singer of bbong-jjak and the first woman to wear a miniskirt in public. This CD contains her more folky songs (as in "Tong Guitar" folk, not Minyo "folk") and was released several times under 2 different names. As far as i can tell the CDs have a different order, different title and different covers but they have more or less the same contents (I wonder if one is a remaster of the other or if there are any other differences).<br>
<br>
It seems it was released twice as Kkun (??? ?) (once as a deluxe 50th anniversary 2 CD set, released as a single 14 track CD, and then as a 10 track single CD) and twice as Salm (?) (1992 & 2004).<br>
<br>
The above could be wrong or jumbled... It gets confusing and searching with Naver and Google turns up conflicting information. For example:<br>

<br>
My kingdom for one of these CDs!<br>
<br>
I am also curious to know if Kim Choo Ja's records have made it to CD yet or Suh Yu Seok (I know there are beatball reissues of other stuff of the era such as the the add4 and He6 records).<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
