Comments:

Japan Original Pressing. First Press!

Urban city-pop with tropical samba and blue-eyed AOR hues—slick late-’70s arrangements by Ryuichi Sakamoto, powered by the full YMO circle.

Tight Rhodes-led grooves, bright percussion, and clean guitar lines make this a selector’s record. Several cuts open with loopable intros and light percussion breaks—great for blends. The songwriting stays mellow/blue-toned yet lounge-friendly; an easy fit next to Tatsuro, Taeko, or Casiopea in a late-night set.

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.
