Japanese Original Pressing.First Press!

1979 CBS/Sony fusion classic — Ryo Kawasaki “Mirror of My Mind” with Michael Brecker & Anthony Jackson.

Released in Japan in 1979 on CBS/Sony (catalog 25AP-1012), “Mirror of My Mind” was recorded at NYC’s Power Station in March 1979. Kawasaki leads an elite studio unit—Michael Brecker (ts), Anthony Jackson (b), Harvey Mason (ds), Leon Pendarvis (keys/arr), Rubens Bassini (perc), with Radha Shottam (Thomas) on vocals—balancing sleek jazz-fusion, Latin pulses, and spacious ballads. The program runs from the bright opener “Trinkets & Things” to the three-part “Dreams for Radha,” a Brazilian detour on Baden Powell’s “Brasiliana,” and concise groove pieces like “In & Out of Love.” It’s collector-grade CBS/Sony production with selector-friendly touches: clean count-ins, crisp drum beds, and airy electric-piano textures that sit well in mixes.

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.

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.
