Ginji Ito - Deadly Drive (First press with semi- translucent OBI!)
Comments:
Japan Original First Pressing, complete with semi- translucent obi + insert!!
1977 Japanese urban pop-rock classic — Ginji Ito with Ryuichi Sakamoto’s strings & horns and Taeko Ohnuki’s chorus touch. No filler.
A turning-point record from 1977, capturing Japanese rock as it sharpened into a sophisticated city sound. “Konuka Ame” (known as an early repertoire around the Sugar Babe era) and the title cut co-written with Kunio Muramatsu make it a Niagara-friendly favorite, but the real point is the album flow: every track is arranged to move, and it never drops in quality.

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.
