Mr Goodboy Vinyl Listening Cart curated by esteemed record collector Norio Sato (Kyoto based Record Shop Rare Groove) featuring his collection of rare Japenese LPs.
Pacific Breeze is an expertly compiled collection (released by Light in the Attic Records) of choice cuts that range from silky smooth grooves to innovative techno pop bangers and everything in between. Long-revered by crate diggers and adventurous music heads, this music has never been released outside of Japan until now. Including key artists like Taeko Ohnuki and Minako Yoshida, as well as cult favorites Hitomi Tohyama and Hiroshi Sato, the long-awaited release also features newly commissioned cover painting by Tokyo-based artist Hiroshi Nagai, whose iconic images of resort living have graced the covers of many classic City Pop albums of the 1980s.
