Masayoshi Takanaka – All Of Me (2025, Clear Green Vinyl)

📅 Release Date: June 25, 2025 | Country: Japan

✨ About this release

First time this compilation gets a repress. It catches Takanaka at peak groove — 1976 to 1978 — filtered into one clean shot. The cuts come from albums you already chase: Brasilian Skies, Jolly Jive, the early fire. Pressed on clear light green, just like it should be: slick, understated, confident.

🎧 Musical style

Loose-limbed jazz-funk. City pop before it had a name. “Sweet Agnes” flows like cold soda. “Mambo No. 5” snaps harder than it should. You don’t skip around on this one — it’s sequenced like a live set. Play loud. Preferably near a window.
