Kimiko Kasai / Thanks Dear
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.

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.
