Comments:
Japan Original Pressing. Collector-grade neon glide — Jantzen-CM cuts + new songs fused with his prime-era highlights; Balearic-ready, DJ-ready.
Released May 25, 1985 on Alfa (ALR-28066), This Boy is a high-curation compilation: 1984–85 Jantzen swimwear campaign tunes plus brand-new recordings, sequenced alongside prime cuts from Awakening and Sailing Blaster. Three tracks were newly made (“Kioku no Naka no Mirai Kara,” “Gemini,” “This Boy”), built with Sato’s late-80s production toolkit—TR-808/909 grids, Drumtraks programming, Kurzweil tones, and modular synth color—so the set plays like a purpose-built summer album. Across the selections you still hear his West-Coast firepower (JR Robinson, Nathan East, Paul Jackson Jr., Yuji Toriyama, Lynn Davis, etc.), making this not just a “best of,” but a floor-ready, radio-polished statement that collectors chase.

About the Condition
About the Condition
Grade | Description |

+ / − 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.
