Even 11 years after its initial release, this sweet and wistful rocksteady track remains popular in the club scene and at live shows. The B-side, “Marble,” is a lovers rock track featuring a soothing rhythm that pays homage to ARIWA Sound—the prestigious label led by Mad Professor, another leading UK producer, and Dennis Bovell, a pioneer of mid-1970s UK reggae—and is characterized by qimygo’s crystal-clear vocals. This release features a new version with a dub mix by Jagabe (Reggaelation IndependAnce, SoulDimension). While retaining the freshness of the original track, the song is infused with a pleasant dub vibe, with a sense of floating and airiness from delay and reverb permeating the entire track.\n\nThe participating musicians include Koji Oishi (LITTLETEMPO) on drums, Shun Aoyagi \"MAH\" (GREENMASSIVE) on bass, and Takao Suzuki (FRISCO) on guitar—all active at the forefront of the Japanese reggae scene—with qimygo himself handling the keyboards. Furthermore, the horn section features Trombone 723 (J.J. Session), Soprano Sax \u0026amp; Flute mol (The SKAMOTTS), and Tenor Sax Inatch (YantIzez)—a gathering of talented players active in Japan’s ska and reggae scene.\n\nThis double-sided record captures the unique groove of a live band, where rough-and-tumble rhythms, the vibrant and sophisticated sound of the horn section, and clear vocals blend perfectly. For the jacket and record label, we’ve enlisted COM—who also handled the design for the 7-inch single released in 2015. Treating the full-coverage cardboard sleeve as a canvas, they’ve created an all-new illustration for the jacket that incorporates designs inspired by the lyrics, ensuring that the jacket and record label designs are just as enjoyable as the music itself. The 7-inch single sold out immediately upon its 2015 release and is now difficult to find; since this release will also be produced in limited quantities, we recommend placing your order early.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MAYONAKA Records\/Lawson Entertainment,Inc.(HMV record shop)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608231309601,"sku":"4582725193138","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4582725193138.jpg?v=1777226093","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ec\/products\/4582725193138","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
