        Some important details not reflected in the LP credits: Imada plays Fender Rhodes electric piano (with a wah-wah pedal!) and what sounds like some sort of organ (I’m guessing a Yamaha, like Miles on ‘Get Up With It’ - without a Leslie cabinet, but with a wah pedal) on Side 1. Watanabe and Imamura are only on Side 1, as well. Side 2 is all-acoustic, with no guitar or congas...
