Comments

Japan Original Pressing.

Razor-tight Japanese fusion with London-recorded edge, elastic groove, and full-band velocity.

Jive Jive is strongest when framed not as background fusion, but as Casiopea hitting with full-band speed, precision, and attack. Recorded in London and driven by the classic Noro–Mukaiya–Sakurai–Jimbo lineup, the album pushes bright technical control into something more physical and urgent, with tight ensemble shifts, rhythmic elasticity, and a sharper international edge than smoother domestic fusion records of the time.

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.
