RELEASE DESCRIPTION
RELEASE DESCRIPTION
In a remarkable historical moment, sax player Steve Marcus embarked on a journey to Japan alongside jazz greats Herbie Mann and Woody Herman. Little did he know that this would mark a significant milestone not just for Japanese jazz, but also for the world of recording itself.
It was during this time that the first-ever work recorded on PCM digital audio came to life. The invitation extended by Inagaki Jiro set the stage for an unforgettable session featuring Inagaki and his jazz-rock unit, Soul Media. The lineup included the talents of Masahiko Sato on piano and electric piano, Ryo Kawasaki on guitar, Yasuo Arakawa on bass, Hajime Ishimatsu on drums, and Seiji Tanaka on drums. One standout piece from the album is "Fairy Rings," an original track by Sato that captivates with its precise interpretation.
As a special treat, the album includes a bonus track—an expansive 13-minute alternate take jazz rock/free jazz rendition of "Something," discovered during the 2013 CD reissue. This historic recording encapsulates the essence of a momentous era in jazz and stands as a testament to the boundless creativity and innovation of these visionary musicians.

from 30 reviewsI 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!!
Beautiful packaging and lovely sonic excursions abound from this vinyl. Thank you !̦ Helix.
Excellent album. I had never purchased from this vendor before and I was initially leary (this album is sold out on bandcamp and Materia Collective's site, and I'd never heard of Helix). But the album arrived quickly and was packaged very securely. I wish the "gold swirl" was a touch more apparent but I understand that each record will look different. Wonderful release from Rozen overall.
Great album that been on list for a while,had to grab for this great price! And shipping was pretty fast as well ,will definitely recommend and shop again.🙏🏽
Awesome addition to my collection.
Vinyl came in great shape and plays well!
