- Description
Likely the most sought after and defining album of the City Pop genre. Japanese earworm! Gary picked multiple copies of this while in Tokyo saving you the trip.
Condition
A little light calm surface noise throughout, with small marks and scuffs but nothing affecting play.
How we grade
Every copy gets two 1–10 scores — the vinyl itself and the sleeve — mapped to the Goldmine standard collectors use everywhere:
| 10 | M | Mint — sealed or flawless |
| 9 | NM | Near Mint — looks unplayed |
| 8 | VG+ | Very Good Plus — light signs of careful use |
| 7 | VG | Very Good — visible wear, plays through |
| 6 | G+ | Good Plus — well-played, no skips |
| 5 | G | Good — significant wear, fully playable |
| 4 | F | Fair — rough, priced accordingly |
| 3 | P | Poor — a filler copy, you were warned |
| 2 | GEN | Generic or replacement sleeve (sleeve only) |
| 1 | — | Missing — no sleeve at all (sleeve only) |
We don't sell media graded below 3 (P).

The ritual
what every record goes through before it reaches you-
Played first
Every record gets a needle test before it's listed. If it doesn't play clean, it doesn't get posted.
-
Matrix-matched
The dead-wax runouts are read character by character and matched to the exact Discogs pressing — this one, not one like it.
-
Graded Goldmine
Media and sleeve graded separately to the Goldmine standard, as honestly as our ears and eyes allow. The grade sets the price.
-
Washed
Every disc runs through the HumminGuru record washer — goat-hair brushes, alcohol-free fluid — and dries on the rack before it's shelved. Dust is not a genre.
-
Fresh outer
Slipped into a brand-new outer sleeve, so the jacket you get stays the jacket we graded.
-
Packed apart
Before boxing, the vinyl comes out of the jacket and rides beside it — the old mailer trick that stops seam splits in transit.
