RELEASE DESCRIPTION
RELEASE DESCRIPTION
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."
Available on classic black or limited edition Ocean Blue. 180-gram vinyl, pressed in the US featuring exclusive OBI and a new translation of Haruomi Hosono's 1975 liner notes.

Let customers speak for us
from 38 reviewsReceived item as requested, no issues at all. Would order from this company again
LOVE the design! And packaging was fabtastic - truly a wonderful gift (for myself!!!!)
Plays great, looks super cool! This music (and movie) are deeply special to me, so glad you had this on vinyl!
This item came perfectly wrapped and sealed, helix sounds is an amazing seller and I would gladly buy from them again
For all fans, this is a must-buy. Especially hooked by the track Wind, which is the very first ending of the anime.
This album sounds as good and hits as hard as it did when it was released! Extra fun getting it from Helix Sounds, they always have the best stuff :)
The vinyl in great condition got here when expected and sounds amazing
fast service & quick response, Good+
I got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.
Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
Great shop, I can only recommend it.
I finally received it. It came well packaged and secure. The customer assistance was great and helpful with my queries.
