DESCRIPTION
"Wha-ha-ha were a originally a trio formed by saxophonist Akira Sakata (who gets around, playing recently with Jim O'Rourke), and over time, featuring some of the best jazz players in Japan. They never released any studio records outside of Japan, but in 1984, Chris Cutler (Henry Cow, Art Bears) released a compilation of their music on his ReR imprint, and the band found a modest following among RIO and avant-prog fans in the West." (Quote from Pitchfork Review)

Posters note:
Found Wa-Ha-Ha through a random playlist, my personal favorite is A3 "On the floor"
All the credit goes to cam the cam man cam on YouTube for posting all the songs, I just wanted to upload them to archive.org so they stay safe forever.
Also, apparently A1 "Inanaki" was retrieved off of soul seek and is the wrong speed. At this time I cannot find the correct version. Let me know if you have it and I'll add it here.
