DESCRIPTION

Three of Masayoshi Takanaka’s most beloved albums—“T-WAVE,” “alone,” and “THE RAINBOW GOBLINS”—have been remastered from the original master tapes using high-resolution audio, with remastering and cutting done at Abbey Road Studios in London.

“T-WAVE” and “alone” were remastered and cut by Alex Wharton, one of Abbey Road’s top engineers who has worked on albums by Paul McCartney & Wings and The Chemical Brothers. Meanwhile, the fan-favorite concept album “THE RAINBOW GOBLINS” received remastering and high-quality half-speed cutting from the legendary Miles Showell, who has handled works by The Beatles, Queen, Eric Clapton, and The Rolling Stones.

Each title is a 180g limited edition pressing, issued on color vinyl designed to enhance the aesthetic of the album’s artwork.

"T-WAVE” (original release: June 1, 1980): 180g clear orange vinyl.

Remastered & cut by Alex Wharton (Abbey Road Studios, London).

Takanaka’s sixth original album. From the bright opener “EARLY BIRD” to the Mazda Familia commercial song “MY SECRET BEACH,” this release bursts with breezy, funky energy.
