This is getting another reissue in March, but can anyone tell me why it's suddenly $60?? What in the world caused this record to go up $20 bucks from the last reissue? It's getting out of hand.
Japanese City Pop of the highest caliber. Heavy on the electronics, voice manipulation and breezy vibes. I have been putting getting this off for years and found a reasonable price on this as I watched the price creep up. It's solid from front to back with a hint of the post uptown funk sound.
The HMV in Shibuya has about 6 copies of it right now.
Which release (if any) includes Blue And Moody (Wendy's version)?
'I Can't Wait' is the track worth buying this LP for.

It seems that it just got repressed, at least in Japan (and according to instagram posts)
