THE JAPANESE SINGLES # 10

Another Japanese single from 1974 is this one. It is a live version of Yesterday When I was Young (her biggest hit ever in Japan) with Goldfinger on the B-side. (On July 8th 1974 Shirley Bassey performed at Kosei-Nenkin Kaikan Hall in Tokyo. The concert was recorded for television and probably only broadcast in Japan) For more information about this concert CLICK HERE to go back to a previous post. I used the cover of this single as a featured image for all the posts about the Japanese singles.
