Jojo from Hijokaidan who runs Alchemy Records sells them at eBay for $10, one at a time.

There's no need to outbid other people, because he keeps putting up a new one after he sold one.

His discription of the Hijokaidan DVDs are great

"ultra violent and piss"

Thanks heaps, Atsonicpark!
I'd downloaded Merzbeat the other week and and really liked it, and then saw this thread and downloaded Japanese Birds pt1, 2, and 3.
SO thank you very much.
Please leave the remaining links up! that'd be very much appreciated.

Obviously my searching capabilities are lacking - is there a dedicated Merzbow thread here? Thanks.

i heard the alchemy shop in osaka closed down a few years ago

I finally heard the final volumes.. great shit.. easy to find on slsk and blogs if you need em.

I'm keen for some of this
