    I've picked up all the 2023 RCA remasters for Tatsuro. Unfortunately this album in particular stands out for more noise and flat sound staging compared to the other remasters.

    Still worth a pickup and will listen often, but definitely the ugly child of the family.

      The album sounds great BUT not as great as other Japanese city pop repressings I have acquired. Long story short, when you listen to it it doesn't make you go and say "wow, this is why I like vinyl so much".

      It is dead-quiet and there is a clean separation of the instruments BUT like others have mentioned below, it sounds a little bit flat and somewhat compressed.

      It still beats LOTS of repressings manufactured in the West but when you compare it to other recent Japanese re-releases such as the ones from Masayoshi Takanaka or maybe even the ones from Project Re:Vinyl, it sounds subpar.

      Still I would say it is (very) worth it if you can find the album in its retail price!

        Unfortunately, I’m not having the same positive experience with this release as some are having. While the remastering isn’t terrible, the way that it presents on vinyl lacks the depth of an all-analog reissue or even a digital remaster like the reissues of the Yellow Magic Orchestra records back in 2018—as in, one with an immense amount of care put into it to recreate (and sur) the original experience of listening to those records on vinyl.

        My main problem here isn’t just the mastering, however; my copy suffers from some serious inner groove distortion. The entirety of the title track is plagued with some very noticeable mid/high distortion and crunch—to the point where I just about turned off my record player. Sad to say, this one wasn’t as good as the For You and Spacy reissues, where I’d give them a 3.5-4/5, I have to give this one a 2/5.

        My setup:
        Rega Planar 6 > Rega Fono MC MkIII > Yamaha AS301 > Klipsch RP-8000F II

          Sound: quite good sound quality and very good volume, no surface noise at all.

          I agree wth previous commenter that it sounds quite flat, especially the singing

            - No tengo el original para comparar, pero esta versión suena excelente.

              Much like with For You the sound is good but still a bit edgy. I again detect some distortion on side ends because Katsutoshi Kitamura just cant seem to avoid cutting close to the label.

                Sounds sooo good. Dead quiet. I ittedly don't have the original to compare it to, but I'm beyond pleased. A worthy reissue of an absolute classic. Don't think, just get it while you can!

                  I am very pleased with this release! Securing the originals is costly, so it's nice to have an alternative. My copy sounds excellent, with great stereo separation and full bass. The care put into this release is impressive, too - the inserts that come with it, the reproduction of the original jacket and label, and the record itself. Recommended.

                    I'll need to go back and compare this to my original, but to me this release doesn't sound quite as natural as the For You reissue, drums sound more muted/muffled and everything sounds just a bit flat and one dimensional. For instance I Silent Screamer having way more sparkle and bite in the mids and highs and this just sounds kind muted, like a filter was applied.

                      Does this have the original outersleeve too? Was wondering if identical?
