Product Details
Masayoshi Takanaka built his reputation through the late 1970s and 1980s Japanese fusion scene, bringing a flamboyant, technically dazzling guitar style that drew equally from American funk, jazz, and rock. "Alone," originally released in 1981, stands as one of the more intimate entries in his catalog, showcasing the melodic sensitivity beneath all that showmanship.
This limited edition vinyl reissue is a must-have for fans of legendary Japanese guitarist Masayoshi Takanaka. Featuring remastered versions of the popular albums "T-WAVE," "alone," and "THE RAINBOW GOBLINS," the collection was crafted with meticulous care at Abbey Road Studios. The source material was high-resolution audio from the original master tapes, with top Abbey Road engineers like Alex Wharton (known for work with Paul McCartney and The Chemical Brothers) handling "T-WAVE" and "alone." Fan-favorite "THE RAINBOW GOBLINS" received the specialized half-speed mastering treatment from renowned engineer Miles Showell (who has worked with The Beatles and Queen). Pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, this specific release of alone (or potentially The Rainbow Goblins in some territories/bundles) comes on striking clear deep blue vinyl, combining premium audio quality with a collector-friendly presentation.
