Comments:

Japan Original Pressing.

Fantasy-driven Japanese fusion classic inspired by Ul de Rico’s picture book – singing guitars, spacey synths and cinematic grooves from start to finish.

Released in 1981 on Kitty, The Rainbow Goblins is a fully concept-driven fusion album where Masayoshi Takanaka turns Ul de Rico’s fantasy book into music – from the slow, atmospheric build of “Prologue” and “Rainbow Goblins” into the bright, guitar-led themes that follow. Singing, overdriven leads and chorus-soaked rhythm guitar ride on tight drums, busy bass lines and layers of synth, giving DJs everything from dramatic intros and breakdowns to driving midtempo grooves for open–to–close sets. Many sections start with clean drums, percussion or keyboard figures, making this a goldmine of sample-friendly passages for beatmakers and cosmic/jazz-funk selectors.

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.

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.
