NTVM After 10 Years
by Godiego, Splinter and others
"NTVM After 10 Years"
is probably the most rare LP Splinter were on.
Basically, NTVM is the Japanese equivalent of MTV and this double LP was put out
to celebrate its 10th anniversary, although it was never commercially released and
was given to people connected to the station only. The label was the TV station itself,
i.e. NTVM.
It was released at around the same time as "Our Favourite Songs" and comes
from the same stable. It has all the same Splinter songs as that LP plus another
called "Then I Can Say Goodbye" which was written by Koji Ishizaka &
Koichi Sakata.
