Comments

Japan Original Pressing.

One of Haruomi Hosono’s essential electronic masterpieces. Early digital sampling, strange pop, minimal rhythms, and the timeless cult favorite “Sports Men.”

Philharmony captures Haruomi Hosono at his most playful and experimental, turning new digital technology into wonderfully strange pop music. “Sports Men” is the obvious cult classic, but “L.D.K.,” “Platonic,” “In Limbo,” and “Air-Condition” are just as fascinating, moving between minimal electronics, sampling, exotica, and offbeat techno-pop. A landmark Japanese electronic LP whose sound still feels remarkably fresh.

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.
