Akira Ifukube – Works For Acoustic Guitar – Wanted!

I made a post with three albums (mp3) of a group of guitarists who played works by Akira Ifukube (Thread 231208); however, there are still at least three more albums with guitarists playing Ifukube. If anyone can share it will be very very very welcome!
These are the Kohiro Sasozaki albums that I am looking for:

Akira Ifukube Works For Guitar – Kohiro Sasozaki (2004)
Akira Ifukube Guitar Transcriptions – Kohiro Sasozaki & Hiromi Omiya (2006)
Akira Ifukube Symphonic Fantasia Guitar Transcriptions – Kohiro Sasozaki & Toshihiro Iwaki (2011)

Thank you!
Carlos

What an interesting request — you have cool taste! I’m interested too.

Thank you! Unfortunately, few copies have been released, and anyone who has this does not want to share. In fact, I’ve already tried to buy used on ebay, stores, etc, but it’s impossible. Well, I have to wait goodwill of someone, which is a bit difficult in this pantheon of collectors …

Very interesting. Were these specifically stated to be limited editions?

The information is that have been released a not so bulky number of copies, a reduced number this was. But usually these CDs end soon. The CD I got from the Duo Ueda, for example, I bought right away when it was released, but in less than 4 months I think it was already sold out! I do not know what the criteria are, but I think it’s the kind of music that really has a limited number of connoisseurs, so the industries will not spend as much, you know …

By the way, this Duo Ueda is fantastic, if you have not seen any video yet:

Yeah, that’s the thing about connoisseur releases, often times a limited production run is part of the licensing. If we’re talking metal/rock releases they all end up being ripped/posted sooner or later, but releases such as these tend to disappear as people are very reluctant to give them up.

Still, ebay probably remains your best hope. Unfortunately, I don’t see anything under their completed listings, so the best thing to do is save the search and wait for a notification if anything turns up.
