Comments

Japan Original Pressing.

Much deeper than its famous title track — a remarkable 1975 Japanese rock album connecting Tin Pan Alley funk, Eiichi Ohtaki pop, folk-rock and even Tower of Power-powered groove.

A remarkable 1975 album bringing together some of the most important names in Japanese music — Haruomi Hosono, Takashi Matsumoto, Eiichi Ohtaki, Kazuhiko Kato, Yosui Inoue, Takuro Yoshida and many more.

“Jingi Naki Tatakai,” written by Hosono and Matsumoto and backed by Tin Pan Alley, hits with a deep funky groove, while Ohtaki’s “Osaki ni Dozo” features backing vocals from Ohtaki himself, Tatsuro Yamashita and Minako Yoshida. And then there is Kamayatsu’s own “Gauloises wo Sutta Koto ga Aru kai,” backed by Tower of Power — one of the album’s undeniable killers.

Far more than a collection of famous guests — a brilliant crossroads of Japanese rock, funk, folk and soul in the mid-’70s.

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.
