DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of his solo debut, popular works from the Kitty Years by Japan’s legendary super guitarist "Masayoshi Takanaka" are newly remastered.
Riding the recent global Japanese fusion boom, "Masayoshi Takanaka" continues to enjoy surging popularity not only in Japan but also across Europe and the United States. Using high-resolution audio sourced from the original master tapes, these titles were remastered and cut at Abbey Road Studios in London. All three releases were remastered and cut by Alex Wharton, one of Abbey Road’s leading engineers. Each title is released on color vinyl that expands upon the imagery of the original jacket artwork.
Opening with the line “It’s so hot! I want to go somewhere!”, the album immediately transports listeners to a tropical paradise with a reggae-driven opening track. From start to finish, Takanaka’s glossy, soaring guitar work creates an endless summer atmosphere. Packed with summer killer tunes such as the fully Latin-flavored "CUBAN HEELS" featuring Orquesta Del Sol, and the electric, funk-driven "DANCING TO CAT GUITAR". (Original release date: July 10, 1984)
Remastering & cutting: Alex Wharton (Abbey Road Studios, London)

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.
