This is my new pursuit! I want you to experience the ritual while you place the needle on vinyl groove, listen till the end of A-side, flip to the B-side, possess cover and insert, and enjoy the rest of the record.
I decided to start my journey in recording vinyl to YouTube with Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO). Music I have listened over the past 30 years has its root in YMO. They are the pioneer’s pioneer.
The cover ‘cigarettes & arcade-radio’ of this self-titled album is the first Japanese pressing with the original mix of the album which is different from US version (woman in kimono). I acquired this record in Kyoto in 2016.
Tong Poo (the first track of B-side) is one of my favourite song. I think I have played this track too frequent that its grooves on vinyl might be deteriorate. It provides similar atmosphere while watching YMO Live in The Greek Theatre in 1979.
