And my own booklet (see the scans of the CD print; no there are not my personal scans ^^)
Also thanks to the precious DiscLegend's scan Back for all the romanizations. It would be a pain to find them without it.

Hurry Kimura (written like this on the vinyl) is better known as Noboru Kimura [木村昇] (his real name) or HARRY.
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%...AD%8C%E6%89%8B)
http://anison.info/data/person/5437.html

He was the lead vocalist of the band TALIZMAN at first, but he had left already the band when they done the Choujin Locke Lord Leon's album (so that's why he wasn't credited like a member of TALIZMAN for this album).

I don't know if I need to add the special thanks (which are on the vinyl's scan back) in the notes. Maybe it would be too long and not clear.

My opinion about this album: this is for me the best Choujin Locke's album! He has a lot a great songs and Nobuo Kimura's voice is fantastic. Yes, I know, Choujin Locke Cosmic Game is very good too, Hikari no Ken has some beautiful and various music, and the other CD Lord Leon (for the OAV) is excellent, but I really like the disco/new wave music of TALIZMAN. So for me it is one of the best image albums of the 80's (but maybe Pelican Road II is better again ^^).

It's definitely not required to add them, but you can do it if you want. Everything that's related to the music is fine.

OK I read "Yû Katoh" and Ryoîchi Shôji", with all the "^", it is good?

And I notice you have added an english title for this album: "Locke The Superman ~Lord Leon~". I have hesitated to add it, because this album is not related to the OAV, and I have seen that Choujin Locke ~Cosmic Game~ doesn't have an English title on his album page too. Is there an English print for the manga with this translation?

Also I added my opinion about the album on my first post.

I don't know the artists, but I would say just Yu Katoh and Ryoichi Shoji is fine. There shouldn't be any macron in the notes.

English title is printed on the back, so it's ok to add it as default title.

I see it isn't printed on the cassette back or anywhere on the Animex reprint (at least going by the scans you submitted), so I only added it as alternative title for the reprints.
Same for Cosmic game, going by the scans it's not printed anywhere. It can still be added as alternative title if it's the official translation of the manga though.

OK. "^" is a macron, too? I believed that was only for "-".

Ok, well understood.

Oh, that's me who has written "Takami Asamo"? I wanted to write rather Asano.

But it's strange too, that's me or it is written "Akano" on the vinyl?

Ah good catch, didn't notice that. A bit hard to tell with the quality of the scan, it may be a typo. Since we're sure it's the guitarist from godiego, I think it's fine to leave it as it is.

Thanks for adding this album, SaintSquall. I went ahead and added the front and back booklet cover for the 32C35 pressing (not my scans) hopefully you don't mind. Hopefully the rest of the image albums can be added soon. Finding all the artists and credits for these Locke image albums are quite a pain.

Out of the six image albums, this one is probably my third favorite behind Cosmic Game and Storm of Ronwall. Like you said I really like the new wave / disco sound of Lord Leon. However I personally prefer the rock of Cosmic Game and the heavy prog synth of Storm of Ronwall.

He he no problem Yahagi93
I had some scans for the first CD print but there were in an awful quality, so I didn't add them. So you have well done
Well, i have just added now the CD "Choujin Locke -Hikari no Ken-", so there are just 2 Image Album to submit, again.

All the Choujin Locke's image albums are great, anyway. I love rock music too (it is my favourite style), but Cosmic Game is not the best for me about rock music (I prefer Pelican Road's image albums, by example), although it is very good. I like less the CD "Choujin Locke Honoo no Tora" (COCC-72202), because there are a lot of dramas, but the songs are very good too.
So my personal classification would be:
1) Lord Leon
2) Hikari no Ken
3) Cosmic Game
4) Rock Suite Choujin Locke (COCC-72201)
5) Ronwall no Arashi
6) Honoo no Tora

But this classification can change again, in the future
