Masaru Imada – Blue Marine
Masaru Imada – Blue Marine
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing. Clean copy! Top Condition!
NYC-backed seaside fusion—sleek city-jazz grooves and sunset melodies for smooth-soul & jazz-funk heads.
The title tune—A1 Blue Marine (aka “Yosowarete Seaside”)—is the recognized cut: mellow jazz-funk with a loopable Rhodes intro that DJs love. Flipping over, B1 Jumpin’ Dolphin is the club-ready driver: tight Steve Jordan drums + Tom Browne trumpet; clean 4-bar percussion break for sampling. Subtropical palette throughout, arranged with New York session precision.

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.
