referencing Life In Tokyo. (CD, EP, Compilation) BMGCAT403EP
To my ears this sounds the best versions of Life in Tokyo that you can buy. The assemblage remixes are available on other CDs and sound far more tinny and lossy on those than on this CD.
As for the original mixes, I've never heard them sound as good as they do on this CD. I can hear some guitar work on this CD that I hadn't noticed before.
This is a definite buy if you're into sound quality.- I have this vinyl in perfect condition but no cover, I would buy it if somebody has it with a poor vinyl or without it, contact me please.

referencing Life In Tokyo. (CD, EP, Compilation) BMGCAT403EP
What a total rip off from BMG to even consider to release this CD EP from a lossy format.
I trully believe record companies should be fined for releasing CD's that the source are not real PCM files.
Simply disgusting. referencing Life In Tokyo. (CD, EP, Compilation) BMGCAT403EP
This CD is effectively a lightly remastered version of a CD distributed in-house at BMG and features several tracks with MP3s as the source (easy enough for anyone to verify looking at the frequency drop off between 15khz-20khz).
It's also acknowledged within BMG that track 9 ("Steve Nye Theme 'Correct Pitch' 1982") is, in fact, a fan-created version of the original 'Theme' version complete with vinyl noise and is only made 'official' by the fact it is included in this release.- This version doesn't appear anywhere else, it has a different middle 8 to the remixed version that appears on Assemblage and doesn't seem to be on any of the other compilations.
- It took me years to discover this pearl despite being a huge Moroder fan and also loving a lot of New Wave. I only like certain songs by Japan, but this one blow me away. Must be best of both worlds: disco and new wave. Very strong and highly recommended.
- Great early New Wave track. Definitely sounds a lot like Planet Earth from Duran Duran. Heck Sylvian even had a similar hairdoo as Nick Rhodes.
- My UK red vinyl pressing sounds excellent, only on the vocals it sounds clipped/distorted/scratchy on some parts, even tested with a new stylus.
- This release has an incorrect production credit for "European Son". It was actually produced by Simon Napier-Bell and Japan, remixed by John Punter.
- Confirmed in an interview with Anthony Reynolds (23/3/14) that Steve Nye remixed this single, although he is not credited, and Mick Karn re-recorded his bass part.
