Would pay very good money for something like that.

Well, this is aimed at the collectors mainly, but

Joyous is getting a 2LP + 7" press in May this year.

Jetset have it listed already

Will wait and see if it gets listed on Amazon before I order.

EDIT: WHICH IT HAS

Ordered it. Hopefully a HD digital release is on the cards. More convenient than any dubious vinyl ripping I could do.

You know whats weird... the Amazon listing is 4,200 yen. When I put it through, it said "Promotional discount" and ended up being 3,619 yen. I'm not complaining!

You did better than me.

Seems this LP is getting a full on "LP mix" treatment, according to Tomita Lab's Twitter feed. So no slap bang from the CD cash in here. Also I noticed all 3 Ringo tracks will be on outer grooves, so no potential inner groove distortion too. Goodo.

Also @Glath: I take it you'll be adding this one to the LP collection too?

Finally, after a delay of over a month (which is becoming a trend with all Jetset vinyl I've preordered- the same has happened with the new Oomori 7" which has been pushed back to July), Tomita Lab's Joyous 2LP + 7" has finally been released and is being packed for shipping now.

I had almost forgotten about its existence with all the other things coming out. I tweaked my order on Amazon.jp (meaning cancelled and reordered at the last minute) to include the Rekishi LP with it... can't beat 15 bucks postage with DHL express (on average, 3 days from Japan to here) for 2 LPs...

Oh yusss, this is a real nice pressing.... Sounds gorgeous and warm!

Very minimal packaging though, none of the beautiful art from the CD booklet, sleeves of LPs are plain white paper. But oh well. My outer sleeve got slightly creased on bottom corner in shipping too, which is a bummer. That or the plastic sealing was waaaaay too tight (as is a problem with a few LPs I have bought). Not major enough to care heaps but still annoying.

Are you planning on ripping it? Sometimes I get the feeling that the original master may have more dynamic range than what the CD turned out to be.

Tracks like Watashi no Yume no Yume (probably my favorite off the album) and Tokai no Yoru Watashi no Machi deserve more room to oscillate!
