I haven't heard this in years!!!! I have the album, which I bought around 1981 or '82, in my spare bedroom collecting dust along side dozens of vinyl treasures just like this from the early 80's.:(
This is one of the songs I listen to most on YouTube. I found it years ago and I still can't get enough! Thank you so much for uploading, hope it stays up.
The real King is Yutaka Yokokura. Jay Dee was of course a brilliant beat maker but this stands way above. Smooth, mysterious, transcendental. Deep Stuff.
My uncle had an all Japanese version of a Yutaka LP more than 20 years ago with this song on it. I could never remember the title so I've been looking for a very long time. Thanks. You really got love youtube. When I get around to it maybe I'll post some Piano Choir.
It's so annoying that material like this is sat somewhere in a backroom on tape degrading by the day, collecting dust when it could be out on a cd or download making thousands of fans happy and providing some income for all concerned. Reminds me of the scene in Time machine when he picks up those books and they crumble, this is what quality music has been reduced to. I don't buy many cds but stuff like this gets me spending money. What is it with this friggin' world?
@maccagrabme I totally agree with what you are saying. I have a feeling this is available somewhere in Japan perhaps as a bootleg of some sort. Hopefully and I mean cross your fingers hopefully it will someday see a commercial import release. Thankfully I own the other 3 cds released.
@maccagrabme But isn't it great to discover those Rarities and search for them untill you finaly got a copy? This is of course only avaible on vinyl as far as i know. But hey...it's the better medium anyway. ;)
Excellent stuff from the tail end of the "rare groove" era.
