Japan Original Pressing. 1977 City Pop harmony — Hi-Fi Set’s classic blend.

Hi-Fi Blend (1977) stands as a versatile collection showcasing Hi-Fi Set’s early-era vocal elegance and Yumi Arai collaborations. Among the standout tracks, “Sky Restaurant” is the clear fan favorite with the highest listener count on Last.fm, followed by “Farewell Party” and the emotive “Tsumetai Ame (Hi-Fi Blend Version)”. This blend of lush harmonies and polished arrangements foreshadows the City Pop and harmony-pop trends that would define Japan’s late ’70s sound.

About the Condition

Grade Description
S (Sealed) Still sealed in factory wrap. Never played.
M (Mint) Perfect condition. Looks unplayed with no signs of use. Typically used for records that are brand new or opened but never played.
EX (Excellent) Very clean. May have light scuffs or hairline marks, but plays perfectly.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) Minor wear, light surface noise, no major flaws — a solid average used copy.
VG (Very Good) Visible wear and surface noise. Plays through without skipping.
G+ (Good Plus) Heavily used. Significant wear or scratches, but still playable.

+ / − may be added to indicate slight variations (e.g. VG+, EX−).

We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
