Hi-Phonic Big 15 – Hi-Phonics Hi-Phonics
Comments: Japan Original Pressing.
Hi-Phonics “Hi-Phonics” is a 1979 studio project made for the Hitachi “Music in Hi-Phonic” show, built around a crazy all-star team: Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yuji Ohno, Hiromasa Suzuki, Mickey Yoshino, Kazumi Watanabe and more. Side A flows through sleek lounge-fusion covers, while Side B turns into a playground of reggae-funk and jazz-funk originals like “Jamaica Ginger,” “Dragoon” and “Littl’ Duckling,” packed with sample-friendly breaks and solos. A luxurious, playful city pop / Japanese jazz-funk session that feels like top-class studio musicians just having fun.

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.
