Japan Original Pressing. (4-channel)
A high-voltage Japanese live soul-jazz set with big-band power and Mieko Hirota at full force.
Miko Live is not just a strong live vocal record — it is a full-impact performance album made even more striking by its quadraphonic presentation. Backed by Akira Ishikawa & Count Buffaloes and shaped by Hiromasa Suzuki’s arrangements, the record carries explosive stage energy, sharp horn attack, and a wide, physical sense of space that suits the Riviera live setting perfectly. The 4-channel format gives the album an added sense of spread and drive, making the performance feel even more dynamic and immersive.

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.
