For You
Tatsuro Yamashita · City Pop/Funk/Soft Rock
Widely cited as the essential gateway record of Japanese city pop, Tatsuro Yamashita's sixth album topped the Oricon LP chart on release, opening with the horn-driven, funk-inflected 'Sparkle' and pressed on JVC's translucent-brown 'SuperVinyl' formula -- original first pressings are now among the most sought-after and expensive 80s vinyl on the international collector market.
