Parachute – Haere Mai
Parachute – Haere Mai
Comments: Japan Original Pressing.
Parachute “Haere Mai” is the third album from the Japanese fusion supergroup led by Masaki Matsubara and Tsuyoshi Kon on guitars, with Tatsuo Hayashi on drums, Nobu Saito on percussion, Akira Inoue and Yoshihiko Ando on keyboards and Mike Dunn on bass. The whole record moves between tight urban funk and breezy AOR: “Lady Raccoon” rides a relaxed reggae-tinged groove, “Switch-Blade Hero” and “Gigolo” hit harder with breakbeat-style drums and slick rhythm guitar that DJs and beatmakers will want to loop, while “Soyokaze ni Nosete” cools things down into a smooth, Latin-flavored fusion mood. It’s one of the most playful and versatile Parachute sets, packed with top-shelf session chops but still very easy to play from start to finish

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.
