As for tracklists in Japanese, there's a web translator that have
been very useful to me:
I don't agree that it's hard in general to tell what period a TT
album origins from, by simply looking at the cover. Personally I'm
only interested in his 1963-68 output (1963-64 = surf/instro, 1965 =
instrobeat, 1966-68 = trad. eleki and GS) and I haven't yet had any
troubles picking out this period by judging the covers.
As for the early vocals (mainly heard on the "Let's Go Terry!"
and "Bunnys Golden Album" albums), I think they're all great GS
garage sounds!!

away, since it seems like a majority of them are him holding a
Mosrite on a beach.
