Notes

Japanese song titles on labels, English titles on back cover. Listed in the style of "Japanese (English)" on printed inner sleeve/insert.

The original release of the Ride On Time LP featured a wrap around paper cover with attached "Obi" with imagery from the Maxell cassette tapes CM in which the song Ride On Time was featured. This wrap around cover is often missing from this release on the second hand market. Please note that the white background Tatsuro standing "cover" is actually the inner sleeve for this release.
