The Jungle Emperor "Symphonic Poem" album on LP!

One hour long plus 22 pages of scenes drawn by Osamu Tezuka.

This LP was manufactured by Nippon Columbia, catalog number CS-7015.

This is a 50-minute full orchestral work arranged by Isao Tomita from his beautiful original music for the Jungle Emperor (Kimba the White Lion) TV series. The music is intended to tell the story of the first episode of the series entirely without words. There is also a brief introduction of the individual themes, narrated in Japanese.

Also included in the gatefold album jacket is a 22-page full-color book with illustrations by Osamu Tezuka, to show key scenes in the story. All text is in Japanese.

This is one of the most sought-after LPs for all Kimba fans.

The sections of the music are:

  • Explanation of themes (in Japanese)
  • Jungle Emperor Theme
  • Morning in the Jungle
  • Gathering of the Animals
  • The Way Home

Jungle Emperor Hit Parade We have ONE in stock; it is in very good condition. The record has a couple of light marks on side 2 that do not affect play, and some light spindle marks on the labels. The jacket is very clean and has a very little bit of wear mostly on the corners. The 22-page book bound into the gatefold jacket has been torn at the staples--it was repaired some time in the past with typical cellophane tape that yellowed. The old tape has been removed and the repairs re-made with acid-free non-yellowing tape, but the stains remain. You can see this in the pictures below. Pages most affected are 1-2, 3-4, and 19-20, all of which are shown below with circles indicating the damage.

We take extra care in packing records so that there will be no seam splitting of the jacket during shipping, as so often happens with other LP sellers.

 The price of this used Japanese LP is
55.98 $29.98
plus $8 shipping.
