Comments:

Japan Original Pressing. Ultra rare collector’s item, includes promo pamphlet!

West Coast–influenced Japanese AOR with glassy guitars, smooth Rhodes and a tight rhythm section from Yasuo Tomikura (bass) and Masahiro Miyazaki (drums), with Haruo Togashi (synth/programming) and Masato Matsuda (keys) adding a sophisticated urban sheen; from the breezy opener “First Light” and silky mid-tempo “September Rain” to the deep urban-soul tune “Love Was Really Gone” and glowing closer “Sunset”, this is a top-shelf city pop / AOR essential for serious listeners and collectors.

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.
