Ken Tamura – Fly By Sunset (Rare Beach Cover Variant)
Ken Tamura – Fly By Sunset (Rare Beach Cover Variant)
Japan Original Pressing.
Japan original-era issue on catalog no. 28AH 1447 — this is the scarce beach cover variant.
“Fly By Sunset” is one of those records that’s still under-appreciated outside Japan — but once you hear it, it clicks fast. This copy is the rare cover variant from the original-era catalog (28AH 1447), and obi copies almost never surface, even compared to the more common jackets.But the real reason people keep it is the sound: luxury light-mellow city pop / AOR, all-written by Ken Tamura for his 1982 2nd album, featured in Light Mellow (Wamono 669 / Special).
Arranged by Tsugutoshi Goto and Shigeru Suzuki, with an all-star lineup (Tatsuo Hayashi, Shuichi “PONTA” Murakami, Tsuyoshi Kon, Ryoichi Kuniyoshi, Nobu Saito, and more).
Start with “A Little Bit Easier” — a seaside, breeze-heavy killer tune that instantly explains why this record is special.

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.
