A Three Blind Mice (TBM) vinyl reissue. Recorded in 1974 by legendary bassist Isao Suzuki, who plays seven instruments here — electric piano, Hammond organ, cello, drums, vibes — and even sings. With Kazumi Watanabe and others, it runs from the jazz-funk of 'NEMURO' to the 13-minute spiritual epic 'ALL RIGHT!'

A first-ever vinyl reissue on Three Blind Mice (TBM). Recorded in 1977, this was Fumio Karashima's debut as a leader. As Japanese jazz was being swept into the fusion craze, he held to a pure acoustic piano trio with Isao Suzuki and George Otsuka — sharp, taut, elegant and assured.

三盲鼠（TBM）首次黑膠復刻。1977 年錄音，是辛島文雄首次領銜的重奏作品。當日本爵士捲入 Fusion 熱潮，他仍以純正的 acoustic piano trio 姿態，與鈴木勲、ジョージ大塚展開銳利且充滿張力的演奏，俐落優雅、自信鮮烈。

A Three Blind Mice (TBM) vinyl reissue. Bassist Takashi Mizuhashi's 1974 debut as a leader, captured live. It includes a 15-minute take on Miles Davis's 'So What' and the mournful opener 'When A Man Loves A Woman', where Yoshio Otomo's tearing alto sax raises goosebumps.

A first-ever vinyl reissue on Three Blind Mice (TBM). A 1976 piano trio led by Hideo Ichikawa with Isoo Fukui and Hideo Yamaki, recorded at Tokyo's Epicurus Studio. The 13-minute opener, inspired by the scenery along Hokkaido's Route 234, unfolds vast landscapes over a slow jazz-funk groove.

三盲鼠（TBM）首次黑膠復刻。1976 年的鋼琴三重奏，由市川秀男領銜，與福井五十雄、山木秀夫於東京澀谷 Epicurus Studio 錄製。13 分鐘開場曲以北海道國道 234 號沿線景色為靈感，在低速 Jazz Funk 律動中展開壯闊風景。

A legendary record dubbed 'the holy grail of Japanese music'. In 1983 Midori Takada entered the studio — two days, four pieces, one person, one marimba. With original RCA Japan copies fetching huge sums secondhand, WRWTFWW reissues it cut straight from the original masters.

有「日本音樂的聖杯」之譽的傳奇之作。1983 年，高田みどり走進錄音室，兩天、四首曲子、一個人、一架馬林巴琴。RCA Japan 原版中古要價二到四萬台幣，WRWTFWW 直接從原版母帶刻片再發。

Mysterious Japanese electronic producer Shin Watanabe follows Album 1986 with Album 1987, still an enigma — are these tapes sealed since 1987, or a faithful tribute to that era? The label says nothing, the artist never appears; eight tracks of the purest house speak for themselves.

神秘的日本電子音樂製作人 Shin Watanabe，繼《Album 1986》後再推《Album 1987》，依然成謎——這些是 1987 年封存至今的帶子，還是對那個年代最真誠的致敬？廠牌沒說，藝人沒露面，八首最純最原味的 House 自己說話。
