Notes
This release has red Alfa labels and the original Alfa logo. Single-sided credits insert included.
This release spells the "Produced by" credit for Harry Hosono on the back cover correctly. For misspelled "Rroduced by" version, see here: Yellow Magic Orchestra = イエロー・マジック・オーケストラ.
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.
Made in Japan

The melody of "Firecracker" comes from Martin Denny's "Firecracker", on the album Quiet Village.

Edited 12 years agoThis 'cigarettes & arcade-radio' cover is the very first and rare japanese pressing with the original mix of the album, that differ from the later US 'electric wire geisha' version. The original mix is true to the japanicity of the concept in a way that it does not try to tame the quirkiness and the intended annoying quality of this electronic overload of sounds.
This is the version Hosono mixed and sent to the pressing plant so if you're faithful to the producer's view, it is important to hear that version first.
Concerning the music: bliss from A to the Z.
A milestone, no need to explain.
