Notes

Same matrix / runouts as Yellow Magic Orchestra = イエロー・マジック・オーケストラ but with misspelled "Rroduced by" credit on the back cover.

This release has red Alfa labels and the original Alfa logo. Single-sided credits insert included.

Large text on the obi strip says "Hosono Haroumi" and smaller to the side "Yellow Magic Orchestra", because initially this was marketed as a Hosono project. The manufacturer is noted on the obi strip in Japanese and on the label rim in English.

Writing credits are not shown on this pressing for the two "Computer Game" tracks, "Bridge Over Troubled Music" or "Acrobat."

Yukihiko Takahashi appears courtesy of Victor/Invitation.

      Which version of this album would be considered the "best" quality? I was considering the 2018 remaster.

        is there a clear preference between US and Japanese mix? US cover is great, but any thoughts on the mix/song order?
