                    RELEASE DESCRIPTION
Wewantsounds is proud to announce the release of Ryuichi Sakamoto's first solo album originally released in 1978 on the sought-after Better Days label. Sakamoto was a member of Yellow Magic Orchestra at the time but the group hadn't released their first album yet. Featuring Sakamoto on a wide range of synthesizers and keyboards programmed by Hideki Matsutake, and accompanied by a few musicians including Haruomi Hosono and Pecker, "Thousand Knives" was a blueprint for the YMO sound and includes cult classics that were to become live favorites. Save for a small-scale release in 1982, this is the first time the album is being released on vinyl outside of Japan. Remastered from the original tapes by renowned producer and engineer Seigen Ono, the LP edition comes with original artwork including OBI and 4p insert with new introduction by Paul Bowler.

Let customers speak for us
from 37 reviewsPlays 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.
  honestly i was very happy to have this poster come in, and imma buy a frame for it later. the poster is really beautiful and i love it, there was a slight defect to it, no fault to the company, but the mailing service itself, but it doesnt really bother me at all since it’s barely noticeable, i am just so happy to own it!!
