Comments:

Japan Original Pressing.

Masayoshi Takanaka’s first solo statement after Sadistic Mika Band—an island-breeze jazz-funk/AOR set cut for Kitty in 1976. His liquid lead and razor-clean comping ride plush Rhodes and percussion across mid-tempo grooves and sunny sambas. A heavyweight studio cast powers the feel: Hiroshi Sato on keys, Tsugutoshi Goto on bass, Tatsuo Hayashi on drums, with Shigeya Hamaguchi adding vivid percussion. Plenty of loop-ready intros and crisp rhythm-guitar transients make this both a collector’s staple and a beatmaker’s secret weapon.

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.
