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.

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.
