Japan Original Pressing. 1977 City Pop treasure — “On Any Sunday” & “Chuo Freeway” carry standout charm
Love Collection (1977) is Hi-Fi Set’s stylistic breakthrough, blending City Pop, mellow funk, and sophisticated pop arrangements. Tracks like “On Any Sunday”, “Ame no Station”, and “Chūō Freeway” stand out, featuring top-tier collaborators including Yumi Arai, Hiroshi Satoh, Masaki Matsubara, and Jun Fukamachi under the refined arrangements of Ichizō Seo. Its inventive approach—such as adapting foreign compositions into polished Japanese versions—makes it a beloved hidden gem among collectors of 70’s Japanese urban pop.

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.
