Comments

Japan Original Pressing.

A drum-led late-’60s Japanese pop-beat oddity with raw attack and future-jazz energy.

This is the kind of record that stands out because the drums are never just supporting the songs. Built from late-’60s hit material, it repeatedly opens space for beats, fills, and break-like passages to jump forward, making the album feel more physical and rhythm-focused than a typical covers set. Long before Motohiko Hino was fully established as a major jazz drummer, you can already hear that restless attack here.

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.
