Notes
Unusual for a Japanese release, this originally comes sealed in soft shrinkwrap which was a new trend seen in the early to mid 80's primarily by Sony Records releases in Japan whereas most other record company's records were never sealed. Comes with an obi and a 4 page insert sheet with liner notes by Masa Itoh and the Japanese lyrics transcriptions. The front and back pages were parallel to the color paper inner sleeve bags of foreign releases (color photos, lyrics and credits)
The first edition comes with a questionnaire postcard that allows you to get one EPICSONY record by lottery.

Reviews
Sounds excellent to my ear. Clear across the spectrum, no flaws. Bass are ok. Really good.
Edited 2 years agoGreat pressing, undecided if it's better than my US pressing. Noticed some inner groove distortion affecting the highs. Either way, the rest sounds amazing, crank the volume and enjoy.- Incredible pressing, I have both European and U.S. press , but this beat them hard in every way.
