Comments:
Japan Original Pressing. West Coast sparkle meets Tokyo finesse—LA-cut AOR grooves on Side A, sleek city-pop charm on Side B.
Miss M splits the difference beautifully: Side A was cut in Los Angeles with the elite West-Coast crew—David Foster and Jay Graydon shaping glossy arrangements, Jeff Porcaro and David Hungate locking the groove, Steve Lukather adding bite, and Greg Mathieson scoring horns/strings. Side B returns to Tokyo, folding Tatsuro Yamashita-penned material into immaculate domestic sessions with Shigeru Suzuki and Tetsuji Hayashi. The result is pool-side AOR on one side and sleek city-pop on the other—radio-polished hooks, clean count-ins, and steady mid-tempo grids that DJs can drop anywhere.

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.
