The Daily Dig

One of the most distinctive lazy-sweet voices in J-pop, Chara's debut Sweet finally gets its first-ever vinyl pressing. This 1991 first album holds her debut single 'Heaven' and 'Break These Chain', theme song to Shunji Iwai's film FRIED DRAGON FISH. At just 23, Chara already had the sweet, husky voice that would define her, roaming freely across R&B, funk and early-90s pop. Timed to her 35th anniversary, it's the unvarnished but equally captivating origin of her sound.

日本流行樂裡獨一無二的鬆懶嗓音，Chara 的原點之作《Sweet》終於首度黑膠化。1991 年推出的首張專輯收錄出道單曲〈Heaven〉與岩井俊二執導電影《FRIED DRAGON FISH》主題曲〈Break These Chain〉。當時年僅 23 歲的 Chara，已展現日後極具辨識度的甜美沙啞嗓音，自在穿梭於 R&B、Funk 與 90 年代初期的流行樂聲響。適逢出道 35 週年，這張不加矯飾卻同樣迷人的初始甜味迎來史上首次黑膠化。

A pioneering slice of Japanese reggae, now on 7-inch. Kansai folk stalwart Yuzo Toyoda travelled alone to Jamaica in 1980, recording at the legendary Tuff Gong Studio with local players. Thick, grounded roots-reggae grooves meet his bold folk delivery and socially conscious lyrics, a singular sound born where Japan meets Jamaica. Remastered by EXHUME, the B-side even carries a track titled 'Taiwan', making it especially precious for local fans.

和製雷鬼秘盤七吋化！關西民謠界重要人物豊田勇造，1980 年獨自前往牙買加，在傳奇 Tuff Gong Studio 與當地樂手共同錄製專輯《血を越えて愛し合えたら》，被譽為日本和製雷鬼的先驅之作。濃厚紮實的 Roots Reggae 演奏、豪氣的民謠式唱腔與帶有強烈社會意識的歌詞，形成日本與牙買加音樂交會的獨特聲響。此七吋由 EXHUME 高音質重新母帶處理，B 面竟收錄一首〈台湾〉，對台灣樂迷格外珍貴。

Blessed with what fans call a 'velvet voice', Mikiko Noda sees her seventh album Rose C'est La Vie pressed to vinyl for the first time. A lavish arranging cast including Hiroshi Sato and Yoko Kanno backs it, featuring 'With You! (Re-mix Version)', an Amy Ozaki composition used in Minolta's autumn 1991 campaign. Guitar turns from Masaki Matsubara and Yuji Toriyama grace 'Final Call', and the wistful 'Awai Kisetsu no Sunglass' is a highlight. This limited edition comes on red vinyl with a picture label.

被譽為擁有「Velvet Voice」的歌手野田幹子，第七張原創專輯《Rose C'est La Vie》首度黑膠化。編曲陣容豪華，邀來佐藤博、菅野洋子參與，收錄由尾崎亞美譜寫、曾用於美能達相機 1991 年秋季廣告的名曲〈With You! (Re-mix Version)〉。此外還有松原正樹、鳥山雄司獻上吉他的〈Final Call〉，以及全作亮點〈淡い季節のサングラス〉。本次採紅色彩膠與 Picture Label 高級規格，完全生產限定。

Satellite Lovers' early hidden gem Music gets its first-ever vinyl reissue. Born in the summer of 1994 from their pre-debut recordings, it was co-produced by Toru Hashimoto (SUBURBIA) and released independently on WAVE Label. It holds Free Soul favourites 'With You' and 'Day Dreamin'', plus a cover of Jimi Hendrix's 'Crosstown Traffic'. Original copies command steep prices and are nearly impossible to find, so this limited run is a rare chance.

Satellite Lovers 初期秘盤《MUSIC》迎來黑膠首次復刻！作品誕生於 1994 年的夏天，集結他們正式出道前的早期創作，由橋本徹（SUBURBIA）共同製作，透過 WAVE Label 獨立發行。收錄深受 Free Soul 樂迷喜愛的〈With You〉、〈Day Dreamin'〉，以及翻唱自 Jimi Hendrix 名曲的〈Crosstown Traffic〉。原版在二手市場價格高昂且難以尋覓，此次數量限定引進。

British electronic musician Andy Dragazis returns as Blue States with his seventh album after a long gap, his most expansive and immersive yet, on limited gold vinyl. Its centrepiece is a six-voice choir placed at the very heart of the record, sung mostly in single takes to keep a raw, unvarnished presence, with strings from the renowned Elysian Quartet. Inspired by the musical 'fade-out', it walks the Air / Zero 7 / Bonobo path, faintly melancholic and finely layered.

英國電子音樂人 Andy Dragazis 帶著 Blue States 回來了，這是睽違多年的第七張專輯，也是目前最遼闊、最沉浸的一張，實體限定金色彩膠。最大亮點是他把一支六人合唱團放到整張專輯的正中央，人聲幾乎以一次錄音完成，保留最原始未修飾的臨場感；弦樂則由知名的 The Elysian Quartet 助陣。專輯靈感來自音樂裡的「淡出」，曲風走 Air、Zero 7、Bonobo 那條路線，帶點憂鬱、層次細膩。

Hiroshi Sato's summer classic returns for its 40th anniversary as a freshly cut double coloured-vinyl set. 1982's Awakening enlisted guitarists Tatsuro Yamashita, Tsunehide Matsuki and Yuji Toriyama, with Canadian singer Wendy Matthews on lead vocals. It embraced the then-cutting-edge LinnDrum yet radiates warmth and West Coast ease rather than machine coldness. Disc 1 holds the original album; Disc 2 gathers rare sources, instrumental versions and Sato's own 2005 remix of 'IT ISN'T EASY', cut by master engineer Shigeru Buzawa.

佐藤博的夏日名盤為紀念發行 40 週年，以全新刻片的雙彩膠版本再次登場。1982 年推出的《Awakening》邀來山下達郎、松木恒秀、鳥山雄司等吉他手，並由加拿大女歌手 Wendy Matthews 擔任主唱，導入當時最先進的 LinnDrum 鼓機，卻毫不冰冷，反而在電子編曲中散發溫暖與美國西岸的悠閒。此版本 Disc 1 收錄原專輯，Disc 2 收錄珍貴音源、無人聲版與佐藤博 2005 年親自重混的〈IT ISN'T EASY〉，由名師武澤茂刻片。

Part of Three Blind Mice's premium reissue series, this is Hideo Ichikawa's first piano-trio outing for the TBM label. Recorded as Ichikawa entered his mature phase, it is a masterwork that lifted him to a higher level. A pianist who both plays and composes at this level is rare in the trio format; the music is plainspoken yet shot through with free-jazz tension, close to the mood of Keith Jarrett's Facing You. The 13-minute opener is the emotional peak. Long out of print, reissued for the very first time.

三盲鼠「頂級典藏復刻系列」之一，市川秀男留在 TBM 廠牌的第一張鋼琴三重奏作品。錄製時市川已步入演奏成熟期，這張正是他更上一層樓的傑作。集演奏與作曲才華於一身在鋼琴三重奏裡相當罕見，曲風質樸並融入自由爵士的即興張力，神似 Keith Jarrett《Facing You》時期的氛圍，尤其長達 13 分鐘的開場曲情緒飽滿、一氣呵成。稀世之作絕版多年，史上第一次再版。

A 7-inch single released alongside the VOOID 2025 vinyl repress, holding 'baby', 'indoornesian' and 'little baby'. Issued by White Wabbit and mastered, like the album, by acclaimed Japanese engineer Soichiro Nakamura (PEACE MUSIC), its added new songs round out one of recent Taiwanese indie rock's key works. Limited import.

隨《VOOID 2025》黑膠復刻同步推出的 7 吋單曲，收錄〈baby〉、〈indoornesian〉、〈little baby〉。由大浪漫唱片發行，母帶後期同樣由日本名工程師中村宗一郎（PEACE MUSIC）操刀，特別追加的新歌讓這張近年台灣獨立搖滾代表作更完整。數量限定引進。

The lead release of Three Blind Mice's premium reissue series, bassist Takashi Mizuhashi's long-buried first album as leader, subtitled 'When A Man Loves A Woman'. The stellar playing of Yoshio Otomo and Fumio Karashima here is not to be missed. A rare work out of print for years, reissued for the very first time.

三盲鼠「頂級典藏復刻系列」首發，水橋孝沉睡塵封多年、終於重見天日的首張個人領銜作品，副題〈When A Man Loves A Woman〉。大友義雄、辛島文雄在這張的精彩演出絕對不容錯過。稀世之作絕版多年，史上第一次再版，機會稍縱即逝。

Two great, gone-too-soon figures, J Dilla and MF Doom, never truly got to work together. David Begun's loving mash-up imagines that dream collaboration, fusing Donuts with a host of MF Doom tracks. Hotly collected overseas, arriving in July.

兩位英年早逝的偉大人物 J Dilla 與 MF Doom 生前從未真正合作，David Begun 以極致致敬的 Mash Up 想像兩人的夢幻合作，融合《Donuts》與 MF Doom 多首歌曲。國外收得很兇的一張，七月到貨。

After years alongside jazz greats like George Benson, Lou Donaldson, Grant Green, Ahmad Jamal and Pharoah Sanders, Idris Muhammad delivered his third album with an all-star cast, capturing the essence and groove of soul and becoming a favourite hip-hop sample source. Produced by the founder of CTI and recorded by Blue Note stalwart Rudy Van Gelder. Reissued by MOV as a numbered, limited edition of 2,000 on white vinyl.

在與 George Benson、Lou Donaldson、Grant Green、Ahmad Jamal、Pharoah Sanders 等爵士巨匠合作多年後，Idris Muhammad 攜全明星陣容推出第三張專輯，掌握了靈魂樂的精髓與律動，因而被眾家嘻哈廣泛取樣。CTI 唱片創辦人製作，Blue Note 大功臣 Rudy Van Gelder 錄音。此次由 MOV 高品質限量兩千張編號白色彩膠發行。

A restock of the 2x7-inch vinyl for Utada Hikaru's era-defining 'First Love'. It carries 'First Love (2022 Mix)', 'Hatsukoi (2022 Remastering)' and two rare a cappella mixes. A classic among classics, well worth owning.

宇多田光劃時代名曲〈First Love〉的 2x7 吋黑膠再版補貨。收錄〈First Love (2022 Mix)〉、〈初恋 (2022 Remastering)〉，以及兩首罕見的 A Cappella Mix 版本。經典中的經典，值得收藏。

A soundtrack that outsold the film itself, moving over 12 million copies worldwide. Released in 1972, Super Fly used orchestral funk arrangements and sharp lyrics to pioneer socially conscious soul. This edition is an all-analogue AAA remaster by Kevin Gray, pressed at Optimal on 180g, with an exclusive insert and liner notes by Aaron Cohen.
