Japan-Only Compilation | Features Papetti’s “Pipeline”
This LP is a Japan-exclusive compilation in Victor’s Golden Series, released only for the Japanese market and not part of Papetti’s usual European Raccolta line.
The selection goes far beyond standard mood listening: alongside the Love Theme from The Godfather and The Godfather Waltz, it features Imagine, Bangla Desh, themes by Morricone and Legrand — and, most importantly, Papetti’s performance of “Pipeline (tentative title)”, a track not generally found in his European issues.
Collectors value this edition not only for its unique tracklist but also for its presentation:
-
Gatefold sleeve with printed Japanese liner notes
-
Original obi strip
-
Carefully pressed Globe/Victor sound
Copies of this album are extremely scarce, rarely appearing even in the Japanese market. In excellent condition with obi intact, this is a standout piece for Papetti collectors, rare groove enthusiasts, and DJs seeking unusual sample sources.

+ / − 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.
