Tatsuro Yamashita - Go Ahead!
Tatsuro Yamashita - Go Ahead!
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing. Loose, soulful mid-70s Tatsuro set where city pop, West Coast AOR and mellow funk meet, packed with harmony-rich grooves and early solo gems.
Originally released in 1978, Go Ahead! captures Tatsuro in a more band-oriented, West Coast-inspired sound – tight rhythm section, electric piano and warm horns supporting his trademark multi-layered vocals. Upbeat tunes like “Let’s Dance Baby” and “Bomber” sit next to breezier midtempo cuts, giving DJs plenty of options from club-playable grooves to relaxed radio-style selections. Several tracks open with clean drums, bass and keys, making this album especially attractive for sample-friendly intros and breakdowns.

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.
