Limited edition Ocean Blue vinyl.
Haruomi Hosono's Tropical Dandy receives its first-ever international reissue. Originally released in 1975, Tropical Dandy is a cult classic that marked Hosono’s shift toward genre-blending, fusing exotica, jazz, and pop to lay the groundwork for Japanese City Pop – described by none other than Van Dyke Parks as "cinematic romance with sonic texture."
180-gram vinyl, pressed in the US featuring exclusive OBI and a new translation of Haruomi Hosono's 1975 liner notes.
Genres: Japanese Rock, Pop, Jazz, Folk, Easy Listening
