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

Grade Description
S (Sealed) Still sealed in factory wrap. Never played.
M (Mint) Perfect condition. Looks unplayed with no signs of use. Typically used for records that are brand new or opened but never played.
EX (Excellent) Very clean. May have light scuffs or hairline marks, but plays perfectly.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) Minor wear, light surface noise, no major flaws — a solid average used copy.
VG (Very Good) Visible wear and surface noise. Plays through without skipping.
G+ (Good Plus) Heavily used. Significant wear or scratches, but still playable.

+ / − 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.
