Traded a couple for Ryo Fukui In New York today at a local. This press had great reviews so wanted to get it before it was gone.

Update — Arrived today, cleaned, and I’m listening to Blow Up on headphones and it’s absolutely silent and sounds great. I think as good as the Impex 45rpm (which I sold when this went on sale), but I can’t confirm that until I can crank it without headphones. Maybe — very slight possibility of a maybe — a bit less range on the high end. Like maybe a slight bit less of the pure, stunning shimmering cymbals/hi-hat that I heard on the Impex 45rpm but, again, I need to listen without headphones when I can compare apples to apples bc I didn’t have my headphones when I sold the Impex set.

Pretty sure they will be eventually. Weird there are now pre-orders open already.
On a different topic, Disk Union website is down. Customer information leaked so they decided the shut the website down while they have not identified the issue.

Thanks for posting this. Curious about your comment on Discogs that Earth Mother doesn’t seem to be in line for a repress. Do you know why?

Their bandcamp page says "no repress". and when I was at the BBE store in London last month, I asked them about it and they said it was the only one that didn't have plans for a repress from that series. Maybe that changes but it sure doesn't sound like they are going to repress that one.

excellent list of albums. I have all of these and recommend most all of them as well. thanks for sharing! I hope to meet others on this forum to trade albums. I have a few albums I am looking for and would trade or pay a very generous amount if I can find the album I want. Who here might have the most complete Japanese jazz collection?If I had any sense, I would stay far away from this thread....
Anyways, I'll share a few J-Jazz albums worth checking out:

cheap price.
my copy is M- and the rare Stereo copy version...not 4CH.paid too much maybe... but don't plan on selling ever! so does not matter in that case.

do you have link where I can find a copy???
fwiw..if you like takayanagi.... any interest in an original pressing of Flowergirl? with the blue cover? I purchased a copy a while back but considering to sell. it's a dubplate as you know, so metal disc with lacquer over it. uber uber rare. but none of them were "pretty" so they have flaws in the surface. mine plays back just fine, but has the pops where lacquer isn't perfect. but the condition is superb!!! but the dubplates never sound as good as real vinyl obviously. but this is an album that any takayanagi lover MUST have.

superb album... all the releases are good too... I have three diff ones... the 1st pressing, the repress in black vinyl and also special red vinyl version. the repressing just might be a touch better to be honest. beautifully recorded album.
