As others have said, the record sounds fantastic, especially considering these copies are nearly 50 years old. The mixing on "Bomber" is perfect! Super punchy and tasty. -
Despite the interesting cover choice, I think this is a heavily overlooked album. Front to back he doesn’t disappoint, so many great songs. At first I honestly just bought this for BOMBER. And after letting it play I got to experience this great project in its entirety finally.
The vinyl is thin yet packs a PUNCH. Like BOMBER sounds absolutely fantastic on this. Reacts very well with my subwoofer. His vocals are quite clear but I just love how much bass there is.

This album does not you give a minute to yourself but rather transport you fast into the world of Yamashita early works . Each song is great and explore a different influence of his. From Funky, Jazzy or Boogy... and all the other inbetween. You'll feel all the emotions your brain can go to before side A is even over.
