Comments:

Japan Original Pressing. 1974 soulful jazz vocals — Kimiko Kasai’s early masterpiece. Clean copies are rarely seen.

Thanks, Dear (1974) features Kimiko Kasai backed by jazz icons Joe Sample (piano), Ray Brown (bass), and Shelly Manne (drums) — a stellar line-up that elevates this soul-jazz vocal album. Among the tracks, “Get Out Of Town” remains a standout for Last.fm listeners, making this album a cherished find for vocal-jazz and City Pop enthusiasts alike.

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.
