Marlene – Be・Pop
Marlene – Be・Pop
Japan Original Pressing.
Marlene goes full 80s boogie. Slick synths, punchy funk, polished city-pop production, and a killer Japanese cover of Prince’s “Private Joy.”
Be・Pop takes Marlene far beyond straight jazz vocals and drops her into sleek mid-80s boogie, funk and urban pop. The standout is a superb cover of Prince’s “Private Joy,” but “I Can’t Say Goodbye,” “Amazon Queen” and “Aquarius / Let The Sunshine In” keep the groove running deep throughout. With arrangements by Minoru Mukaiya and Yuji Toriyama, this is one of Marlene’s strongest records for city-pop, boogie and Japanese rare-groove listeners.

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.
