Japan Original Pressing.
1984–85 snapshot: ad-campaign cuts, era highlights, and LP-only versions.
This Boy is not a typical “original album” — it’s Hiroshi Satoh’s 1984–85 era distilled into one LP: tracks originally made for a Japanese ad campaign (JANTZEN), key era highlights, and three additions made specifically for this release (Kioku no Naka no Mirai kara, Gemini, and the Beatles cover “This Boy”).
Even when track titles look familiar, this record has its own identity: Kioku no Naka no Mirai kara appears here in a different version, and Sweet Inspiration ’85 is a re-cut with a new arrangement.
Key credits that matter: Tatsuro Yamashita appears on “Say Goodbye” (guitar), and Shigeru Suzuki features on “Sun Glow” (guitar).

About the Condition
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.
