Hiroshi Satoh – Future File
Hiroshi Satoh – Future File
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing. Sleek, late-80s city-funk—silky keys, tight mid-tempo cruise, club-ready polish.
Released May 25, 1987 on Alfa, Future File is Hiroshi Sato’s seventh studio album—self-produced/arranged, with West-Coast firepower across the rhythm section: John “JR” Robinson (drums), Jun Aoyama (drums), Nathan East and Bobby Watson (bass), Paul Jackson Jr. and Yuji Toriyama (guitars), plus Lynn Davis on vocals. The set balances radio-polished pop (“Find Your Life,” “Together”) with deeper club-leaning cuts (“Fly To You,” “Funky Multi”), giving DJs clean count-ins and steady mid-tempo grids. First issues appeared on LP/CD in Japan (e.g., ALR-28095 / 32XA-158), later reissued with bonus mixes (“Sweet Inspiration” extended versions).

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.
