Hiroshi Satoh - Sailing Blaster
Hiroshi Satoh - Sailing Blaster
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing. High-gloss city-funk with West-Coast firepower—silky keys, tight drums, mid-tempo cruise.
I have nothing but admiration for their taste.
Released in June 1984 on Alfa (LP ALR-28059), Sailing Blaster places Hiroshi Sato’s sleek keys and programming in a band built for motion: John Robinson (drums), Jun Aoyama (drums), Nathan East and Bobby Watson (bass), Paul Jackson Jr. and Yuji Toriyama (guitars), plus Lynn Davis on vocals. The result is radio-polished city-funk with clean count-ins and steady mid-tempo grids that selectors can drop anywhere. Tracklist standouts include “Sweet Inspiration,” the buoyant “Always,” and the neon glide of “Love Is Happening.”

+ / − 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.
